Can 10,000 Lego Bricks Stop a 300-Ton Hydraulic Press?

[@HydraulicPressChannel]

Thanks for FlexiSpot for sponsoring today's video! Get your height adjustable standing desk through this link bit.ly/3ZhdrjP We have been super pleased with Hanna's table and I can't wait to get my own.

Hydraulic Press *Screams in agony at having stepped on a Lego*

[@ianwalton4408]

that made me laugh, a proper belly laugh, needed that, thankyou

[@KingdaToro]

Remember, never build a British electrical plug out of Lego. Stepping on it would be fatal.

[@JackThelRipper]

I was thinking the same thing, I haven’t stepped on a Lego in over 25 or so years and can still remember the pain…

[@dragonflye4561]

as i have kids with legos now i wouldnt blame the press

[@Evan-bc6nb]

6:43 "Holy shiit those are tough bricks"

[@MammaApa]

Well that's one way to get banned from Legoland.

[@jonathan100yearsago]

Well there's no written rules about bringing 300 tons hydraulics press to legoland or using it on lego,so yeah.

[@MiniMackeroni]

Nah, this is how you get a SPONSORSHIP from LEGO. "Our bricks can take 250 tons of pressure"

[@chrisdurham6517]

Now we can see why a dad's bare feet never stood a chance.

[@halcyon940]

If you're still unsure about the durability of LEGO bricks, remember that James May built an entire house out of LEGO's.

[@HuskyMoment]

You should try to crush a lego pyramid next time around. Curious how well it would hold up.

[@The_Jzoli]

[@raticus79]

Now you need a press attachment shaped like a foot, Monty Python style

[@desertfish74]

stepping on a lego the most painful thing on earth

[@adamb89]

We haven't seen the Smashinator in a while. I always thought that thing could really do with a nice solid stainless steel fist attachment.

[@itme999]

8:35 "Lego Nipples"😂 - I will call them that from now on

[@chincemagnet]

Yes, the nipples

[@zapfanzapfan]

"The nipples got completely in, so it got warm" 🤣

[@TheTrueArkher]

This does mean the cavity under it is called the anti-nipple and IDK how I feel about that.

[@zapfanzapfan]

Nipples in because it got warm 🤣

[@lyndon4010]

1:06 Excellent Music Hanna!!!

[@aexetanius]

The slow crumble of the larger Lego block was really satisfying.

[@Jeff_Lichtman]

I expected to see the press cursing and hopping around on one foot.

[@peter5.056]

This video is like a masterclass as to why stepping on a Lego brick hurts so much.

[@Sonicgott]

Lego bricks holding up to 250+ metric tons is seriously impressive.

[@chattphotos]

"Somebody has made all sort of craters on the table" A brand new sentence

[@Warlord9000]

Who knew the physics in the LEGO games was so close to the real thing. That block breaking apart almost looked and sounded like the games!

[@Cahejo]

It resisted longer than I thought.

[@altonb93]

*COUGH thats what she said

[@joemarchinski914]

The aftermath doesn't look like a very barefoot friendly floor

[@ryanjohnson3615]

Can you make Lego spaghetti with all the partially crushed Lego bricks?

[@JackThelRipper]

Some Lego kid out there is crying right now after watching their favorite toy get crushed lol I’m impressed how much weight they can hold when it’s a giant brick. Thanks for that video!!

[@budm9982]

I would like to see the block sawn in half with a band saw to see a cross section of the legos.

[@Dfarrey]

If you want to play with this idea some more, you could try other shapes, like a tall narrow tower, or a pyramid

[@zapfanzapfan]

Well, that is one way to disassemble Lego builds :-) Nice table, cat approved too 🐱

[@Sunlight91]

A good demonstration that plastic is strong per weight.

[@beatadalhagen]

Always a plus when something hits one of the cameras.

[@pipersall6761]

I wonder if the density of plastic in Legos has changed over the years. Those were some awesome slabs of Legos! Great job by all!

[@alfonszitterbacke318]

There are those 1x1 flat bricks. I guess a block of them would be even more solid than those 2x4 normal bricks.

[@eirireve]

That is one big lego cake!

[@HydraulicPressChannel]

Biggest one that I have made at least :D

[@WoodworkerDon]

T H I C C boi.

[@c0d3warrior]

13:45 "It's Lego pizza" 😂

[@iamdarkyoshi]

*Casually lugs a 1.4H plate of steel into the bunker*

[@MiniMackeroni]

That second low-speed crush was AMAZING to watch. Seriously suspensful xD Perfect size with the plate and everything because it left a bit of an exterior wall that could shatter away.

[@AppointmentWithJase]

These guys are so rad - its awesome how much they love crushing random shit.

[@gth042]

Crush idea: Flint/ferrocerium rods sandwiched between steel plates. Crush idea 2: Ball bearing in the middle of those pre-crushed lego slabs. Thank you for what you do. Best of luck with the undersea cable!

[@marklanders630]

I loved the explosive results the old press got. Maybe this new press just has too much surface area.

[@JohnLRice]

Fun video, but I think you might need to upgrade your press again? Maybe 500 ton or 1000 ton?! 😁 Much love to you both! 😘😘

[@ILikeMetricMusic]

1,000,000 ton upgrade 😅

[@JohnLRice]

@@ILikeMetricMusic .💪😁👍

[@jsbmx2039]

You guys are such a cute couple. I’m happy you found each other. Great channel

[@Splandrocity]

I'd love to visit Finland! Thanks for making the fun videos, I feel like you've crushed everything so I have very few suggestions. With 300 Tons you could probably turn sand into rock, or easily crack a diamond. Maybe you've done those.

[@jancovanderwesthuizen8070]

Clicked for the hydraulic press Subscribed for the rallienglanti

[@graemebrumfitt6668]

🤣🤣🤣 Hannah modelling the table loved it! I want a huge Lego cake to look like that 😍 TFS, GB :)

[@kaiying74]

3:20 - Can confirm Finland does indeed exist. I've been a few times, it is quite far away.

[@haggardgrin]

I estimate the steel plate weighs 120 pints of beer.

[@RustBunny]

I wonder if using the press to make a record out of a layer or two of Lego with a mother stamper for an album would make something playable. It probably wouldn't sound very good, though, and would likely wreck the stylus' needle. I don't know why, but that's what came to mind watching this.

[@dougaltolan3017]

Lifting 1.4 Hanna would probably make most people grunt.

[@scottcates]

one-handed

[@hulkthedane7542]

The bigger area of Lego and/or the metal plate you use, the smaller the pressure - as P = F/a, pressure equals force divided by area.

[@kingcodebra]

I can't remember where I heard or read it, but Lego bricks can supposedly support more weight than a concrete counter part. The brick can deform some but the concrete being harder would make it shatter.

[@dimitar4y]

The Brooklyn Bridge weights 14,680 tons This means that 49 of these lego piles can hold up the entire brooklyn bridge :DDD

[@Kualinar]

In the end, there are still enough intact Lego bricks to make a 5 to 10 years old kid happy.

[@AboveInShadow]

Encase those in resin and you have modern art to sell.

[@cygnusinfinity5126]

the LEGO company considers building techniques which put excess stress on the pieces and result in deformation to be 'Illegal'. This is Definitely an Illegal building technique.

[@dimitar4y]

the quest to EXTRUDE ALL THE THINGS 5000 ton press, extrude everything :D

[@stalhandske9649]

"It would take a number beyond reckoning, thousands of Lego pieces to withhold the hydraulic press!" "Tens of thousands." "But my lord, there is no such force..."

[@adamb89]

Lego used to be serious business. There was a product in the 60's called I think Modulex that was intended for architectural mockups. They even sold plastic glue to permanently glue the creations together.

[@lauxmyth]

Popcorn. Maybe it is now edible if you add some butter.

[@lonesom]

A large enough steel plate and they would have stopped the press.

[@tomholroyd7519]

3:14 I will always respect Finland, everybody there speaks English and when I asked somebody why, they said, "we can't expect you to learn Finnish!" and laughed

[@scottcates]

Decent people

[@StevenLightning]

6:49 Great expression from Hanna lol

[@ErlendBarkbu]

You probably can safely park a couple of battle tanks on that Lego.. A bit cramped but it would handle the weight. Maybe a beyond the press test?

[@oxygon2850]

That sound @9:40 was Awesome and Ominous!

[@71janas]

Even though it's Lego you're crushing! I loved it😀 Greetings from Denmark 😊

[@lagoo1982]

2 things. The wair was worth it, and your accents are ADORABLE!

[@justayoutuber1906]

You should return the Legos and say you think the delivery person must have dropped the package...lol

[@Schaferhund1]

Lauri: "Lego nipples." Hanna: "Very cold."

[@UKVampy]

I'm sure if the huge block of Lego was made uniformally with just 2 x 4 blocks it would have stood a better chance.

[@phizc]

12:58 I really hope you're wearing puncture proof safety shoes!

[@YULspotter2]

Now that was the coolest crush yet with the new press. The fact that I'm a big fan of Lego's helps. "Nipples" ... LOL ... now that I've heard the term I will probably always think of the Lego studs like that :)

[@Vastafari34]

I'd LOVE to see you re-try the experiment where you try to compress water to chance it's state. Perhaps use bigger and better tools!

[@450fishing]

It'd be really cool to cut into those and see what the inside of the cubes look like now

[@hisgross]

That was satisfying to watch. Cheers! I appreciate how positive and wholesome your content is.

[@JoeIsOut2lunch]

My brain scared me looking at this. 300 ton press can hardly crush it. I guess I’m making my next car blocks out of Lego.

[@MarkusMöttus-x7j]

Audibly and visually, this has got to be the most satisfying video you've done yet! Kiitos for that! 🙏

[@Ipushedabutton]

Do any crushed objects store so much energy that they become dangerous after taking out of the press? Imagine being injured by a Lego "explosion" 😮

[@treeoflifeenterprises]

not when you have "plastic deformation" :-)

[@TWX1138]

I wonder if the press would have been that successful if the metal plate had been as large as the area of the top of the legos. That much extra surface area might well have been enough to stop it.

[@KaiTimmerherm]

When Lauri said that Finland is far away, I had a Waltari flashback 🤘🏻

[@StevenLightning]

5:34 Thank you for the elephant comment lol

[@benjurqunov]

[@gorilla_with_jetpack4102]

LOL! I love the "Unit of Measurement" joke! Us Americans use random units of measurement because nobody wants to agree on a standard unit of measure except for the things we idolize. How many Bald Eagles does Hanna weigh? Probably 10-11 Bald Eagles, because the average woman weighs about 110-140 lbs, and a bald eagle weighs between 7-14, so we say 10 Bald Eagles. Now if we want to get silly with this, it would only take about 30 Bald Eagles to lift Hanna and fly her around because an average Bald Eagle can carry 3-4 lbs. It would take as many as 600 ravens to carry a single Finnish Hanna. So now we must ask the next question - How many Bald Eagles equals a Hydraulic Press Channel Larry?

[@ChuckIRL]

Number of LEGO’s divided by surface area(inches squared) multiplied by hight(number of bricks tall)= strength

[@WoodworkerDon]

Does the cat come with the desk? 🐈‍⬛️

[@-Jethro-]

The cat is for scale. They didn’t have any bananas handy.

[@LouMihniak-kk3xb]

Lego calls the bumps on the bricks studs, but from now on, I am referring to them as Lego nipples.

[@HrForsta]

From my flat to Tampere it is only a 29 hour trip :)

[@jansenart0]

[@psyphonyxaudio]

I appreciate your older Berhinger monitors ..an the Yamaha too. Nice stuff.

[@stevenstart8728]

They have to be tough to the last in the hands of the destructive little buggers that play with them.

[@dimitar4y]

I can imagine that thing was a pain to put together and will be even worse to take apart.

[@ivonedev9449]

You should auction off these Lego blobs - it might just be that I am not the only one to think they are art. Well, you know, if a duct taped banana is...

[@tracybowling1156]

[@JamesRussell1969]

That’s crazy, but thank you for everything you’ve done

[@Saol.Alainn]

[@edshelden7590]

I would like to see a video of how the Legos were put together in time lapse that might’ve been really fun Do you volunteer the local kids to help you put these things together? How much time does it take to clean up this mess?

[@jscoulter61]

How many Legos did Hanna's boys get that were ok when they finished sorting them? 🙂 that would have kept them quite for a while! 😀
