Awesoke build, but my only concern are the corners inside the lazy river. There are 3 that are large enough for the flow to turn into it's own whirlpool. I saw that the lower half had some texturing, increasing the height and width of it to over the water line would allow more riders and less pile-ups. Every lazy river ive seen/been in never had a corner for that reason.

Yeah - 3 little whirlpools did develop - I thought they added to the gentle nature of the ride! If I had more space to build a bigger box (the one in the video is around 1.05m x 1.05m!) then I would definitely have smoothed and curved the corners more to create even better flow! Thanks for watching!

Amusing! Now go for speed! 1. Your inlets need to be low to the bottom so they don't pull in surface water near your "riders" and slow them down. 2. Put in water ramps so that water flows up and over things more smoothly. 3. Corners are whirlpools that trap "riders" and slow the water down. 4. Pump outlets are too turbulent. See if you can get the water flow to become more laminer.

I would have liked to see the same structure, but with a little difference in level between the start and the finish (with a conveyor belt to raise the tires). And then, putting the water inlets of the pumps towards the outside would surely improve the continuity of the water flow. But these are only details and the video is great!

Hmm, maybe bring the outlet of each pump around and behind the inlet to remove those "dead zones" between inlet and outlet where the floaters can get stuck, or even go in reverse.

One of the things you could do for future water+lego stuff is add some pepper to the water (or some food colouring I guess) to visualise the current a little better :)

Hi! Thanks for the comment - I did consider food colouring etc. but then I thought about the effect on the thousands of bricks and decided not to risk it! Maybe I could experiment with a few to see if it stains and incorporate into any future LEGO / Water videos down the line!

@Darkhunter190able3 ай бұрын
A couple notes: Obviously the elephant in the room is that legos are a) not watertight and b) bouyant, but that aside. The widening of the channel in front of the medium pump slows down the water significantly, due to Bernoulli's principle. When the slow moving water there meets the fast moving water at the outlet, this creates a circulation effect known as a hydraulic jump, potentially trapping minifigs. Additionally, the sharp corner splits the flow, exacerbating the issue. Addint the weir after the large pump causes a similar issue with recirculation. As an example, look at the crystal river in Schlitterbahn's 'blastenhoff', in my hometown of new Braunfels - circulation is provided primarily by runoff from the boogie board ride, which pumps, at high velocity, tens of thousands of gallons per minute to create high velocity flows, which then creates a hydraulic jump shortly before it reaches the river. The intakes are typically very large, numerous, and low flow to prevent localized areas of stagnation, as you want all water to reach the treatment plant and pumps several times a day (this is for hygienic reasons). There is actually a lot of science involved, so weeeee! Also, weirs (a dam in which the water is designed to overtop the structure) are among the most dangerous structures in open channel hydraulics, and are therefore typically avoided in waterparks.

I think it might have worked better if there were fewer right-angled turns. If I remember my physics correctly, that sort of thing weakens the current. Maybe add some of those macaroni bricks to those areas?
@BuilditwithBricks3 ай бұрын
Hi, thanks for the comment! Yep, smooth corners work best but I was dealing with a fixed area in which to build which made the turns pretty tight!. You'll notice under the water the turns are relatively smooth in places which helps water flow. Fluid dynamics is pretty interesting!

This is called Stop Motion. It's basically a bunch of still images put together. You place one brick, then take a photo. Place a second brick, take a photo, third brick, photo etc. Then you connect all the photos together into a piece of film. It the same principle as old flip books with cartoons, with each picture having a tiny adjustment so when you flip the pages quickly the subject looks like they're moving. Hell, it's the basic principle for all animation!
