Thank you so much for 40,000 subscribers! And welcome to everyone who's new :)

[@Pow1270]

You're welcome lol

[@dark_places]

I'm so happy u got 40K keep it up👍 (hey also does anyone know why I can't type in live chat) also cuz they hit 40k ima type super long here we go U still here? Like if ur still here so I know who looked also like THIS VIDEO YAAY YESIR LIKE IT Yalk still here OK?! Little weird but ok Present at the end I mean a secret message L OK almost there one more scroll UR awesome cuz u swiped soo faaaarrrrrr. U made my day

[@dark_places]

I know my comment didn't work as I thought it's too short but don't be rude

[@thereoc]

Don’t worry bro, I’m on the school robotics team and you’re so helpful to watch because the team is circled around legos, so yeah 🥂😀

[@bsed9828]

A lot of these tutorial videos are amazing, but what if you did something innovative and combined all of these machines to make something dynamic?

[@atlas16198]

3:18 I never realized worm gears could interact with small bushings like this, that's so cool

[@angeltensey]

worm gear in reality is the best option among these. you can infinitely scale it, doesnt take much space and with some torque multiplier can still lift a plenty of weight.

[@mattimotion]

I never thought about using the yellow pieces with a screw like that, that's great!

[@Burp240]

It’s called a worm gear

The yellow peice is called a half bush

[@lordmemester8798]

Probably because it would slip under any meaningful force Edit: not true. I've been proven wrong. Enjoy your day everyone!

[@maxmawby7686]

Nice to see another longer form video, especially for a component as useful as these. The only thing which annoys me is how the worm driven examples may be ruined by continuous drive shifting the parts around, thankfully it should be easy enough to get around by using wider parts and then using axle connectors for better bracing. A couple of the mechanisms surprised me in testing, and I really hope we get more videos this length and quality in future, keep it up!

[@in1]

Thanks :)

[@ShOxCooking]

I love these mini builds with cool mechanisms I never knew were possible with lego

[@ravimani3834]

Learned a new low profile build for worm drive using the half bushing! Thank you for this.

[@andrewince8824]

4 bar Horst link is a good one. It raises the load through a complex arc which has a net result of nearly perfectly vertical travel if done right. Very common in MTB suspension because it has that vertical effect.

[@ThatBabyDuckSki]

Congrats on 40k! This channel has risen to new heights (pun intended :)

[@in1]

Thanks :)

[@Vaterraman]

Sarrus is basically just sliding axle, but the axle is the center, and the structural and mechanical functions of the axle are utilized around the circumference of this center point. The scissor lift is a modified and improved design of sarrus. The number of fulcrum is increased, allowing the load to be dispersed. The screw lift should be the sturdiness design, but it is limited to height, unless the screw were made very long. I'd like to see some different designs with pulleys

[@Starwort]

The worm gears connect perfectly so you should be able to just scale the size by adding more worm gears

[@pwcorgi2000]

This is so much more interesting to me than any of the Lego sets alone. Thank You!

[@ThatProPlayer21]

The scissors lift is what I use the most cause it's really simple and easy to remember

[@Tigerisverycute]

Sliding axel was really cool

[@bassman5066]

I really wonder if Lego intended the Snail Drive to be possible (for the bushing to mesh with the gear) because that is a pretty cool one 👌

[@CalamariKali]

This helped a lot Istg I needed this

[@joaoonda]

This will be very useful for me, thank you for your help!

[@The_BrickYT]

Congrats on 40K! I followed your videos since you started. (with another accout)

[@8bitarmory846]

second one is how a toggle action works, taking advantaged of that "locking" when fully extended

[@Mackarty]

Big screw mechanism is genios!! Thanks, it is very helpfull.

[@chrismofer]

1:40 unless it's restricted to a short range of angles, this type of linkage is usually inferior to a simple cam.

[@in1]

It's a bit more compact when you use that kind of mechanism in a bigger scale, but yeah, a cam would be better in this case

[@KidOnCorna]

Can I get like a.. slightly smaller version of the second one?

[@waterbottlethatalsolikesme1670]

Is there a way that you can make a lego robot with those pull-back motors in some technic sets

[@mickthebricker]

another great video. thanks for sharing your thoughts on mechanisms.

[@Knight240783]

Bonjour, déjà merci pour tes tutos très enrichissants. J'aimerais savoir si ton système (big version) peut s'adapter dans un profil similaire à une tourelle de tank, rendant également la partie supérieure rotative ? Non pas que je veuille faire un tank mais j'envisage de faire un véhicule adapté pour tout type de terrain pouvant me permettre de filmé quasiment à hauteur de véhicule ou un peu plus haut si les besoins de tournage le nécessite. Merci par avance.

[@in1]

That should definitely be possible by just adding a turntable to it, if that's what you mean

[@Knight240783]

@@in1 très bien, je te remercie, j’ai utilisé ton tutoriel sur une autre de tes vidéos, et je l’ai adapté avec un système de chenille. Ça marche très bien. Et franchement c’est génial parce que habituellement le mécanisme faisait que le véhicule allait trop vite et du coup la foire et tout. Mais je te remercie. Du coup je vais tester.

[@williambarnes5023]

Snail drive scares me, because I expect the bushing to fail and the pole to just slam down through and drop the platform.

[@wolfie3657]

Hello, thank you for this video, you really got me interested in Lego technic as engineering parts, but is there a way to buy just those pieces without whole sets of robots?

[@akirandrake414]

You know with some modifications that third design could work for some of the body joint areas of the custom Zoid I'm prototyping with Legos. Since I lack a 3D printer.

[@Drpaper1]

This is so cool

[@paulinoponcianotugonon2182]

those large snail drive could make for a good crusher when paired with a motor

[@kaseycrooks5080]

[@javierignacioavalos3028]

[@dummie6642]

[@brickengineering4980]

Really good idea I love it

[@LKLM138]

Aint that "piston" you have a snail drive by itself?

[@berkle]

Add a second parallelogram to the first with a static gear to drive it will be a for bar lift go twice as high

[@llewis2814]

Cool some theses I made and use , Very creative

[@adrian_zombturtle148]

Wow that's so cool why didn't you make a lifting version with 2 worm gears on the same axle, that way it would have like double the extention

[@in1]

Nice idea! Never thought of that...

[@redfluxbluedawn414]

hm, very nice and all, but these only work in 1 direction, you have to manually switch directions to let it go down again (you can't let a standard motor run it on a loop going up and down without a human controller or lego computer nxt/mindstorms/...)

[@in1]

Is that what you're looking for? kzbin.info/www/bejne/imGWfmRros2bbJI

[@gerdt.7106]

Maybe you show a way how to get a longitudinal shift in as few steps as possible (for example step size of 0.1 mm or 0.01mm). Application: Camera slider for the so-called focus stacking).

[@in1]

That's pretty hard, since the tolerance of Lego parts is probably around .5 mm

[@FenDaytona]

him: Parallelogram me: 4 BAR!

[@StrikeR69420]

1:17 cool but can you make that some what bigger

[@Piano_Board]

the music has the same chord progression and the same key signature as cheap thrills

[@gtfawayfromme]

Sliding Axle kinda… 😳

[@Stabbingparrot]

very interesting

[@explainedgmod]

Can I recommend you to first show your contraption and then show how it works. Then after seeing the contraption we could get interested in how you made it

[@in1]

Thanks for the feedback! I'm not sure if I want to do that, but maybe I'll add timestamps so that you can skip directly to the showcase...

[@natbarmore]

FWIW, I find seeing the build first, and then the final contraption, more engaging-I find myself guessing at what you’re building or how it will turn out, and trying to out-think how you’re going to solve “obvious problems” with the designs. Also, this makes the flow natural (you can’t have a thing to demo until you build it), which definitely appeals to my learning. So I prefer the current presentation. I can always rewind after I see the finished product if I’m having trouble connecting that to the build. I think chapter markers for the demo, as well as the build, would be helpful for everyone, however.

[@aaronreid7897]

When I was eight I had no clue how to use them but I'm building a scissor lift lol

[@jacobthecool3000]

If you have too much weight on the lift, it's just gonna slide the yellow pieces on the shaft...

[@RyouscxreD]

Genius!

[@yuriMartyr]

Cool

[@MinecraftGod69420]

1:36 oh ya just like that lolll

[@juzma94]

I love cheap thrills!

[@alexmendelsberg4974]

Nice! The music gets repetitive though. IMHO the video would be better without it

[@in1]

Yeah, noticed that too after editing... Without the music the video is very very boring since the only thing you hear is Lego clicking silently, but using the same music for a 9-Minute video is ofc not better

[@natbarmore]

@@in1 I’ve seen some videos where the music is basically just there so that it’s not silent, and what they do is turn it way down. Like, I’m this context, low enough that you’d still hear the clicking of Lego assembly over it. I’m not sure it’s better-I often find myself halfway through a video before I realize the music is in the video, not somewhere around me in meatspace, and then I’m trying to make it out because it sounds vaguely familiar but it’s too soft to tell. But still, it might be worth trying.

[@LoganBatey]

I need number 2 scaled up and without the shaft

[@red_d849]

music was ok, could be better but i definitely enjoyed the vid, you get thumbs up from this comment 👍

[@in1]

Yeah, sorry, that's what happens when you edit on low volume...

[@red_d849]

@@in1 eh its ok

[@delavanty]

The first one isn't straight up though so its an edge case to be honest Not saying it isn't a lift it's just not the same thing

[@in1]

Yep, I considered using straight line linkages, but that would probably overcomplicate it

[@delavanty]

@@in1 yeah I guess but still a good idea tho
