Lego Air Turbine: Generating Power From Thin Air!

Patreon: www.patreon.com/user?u=122597865
See my latest experiments and behind-the-scenes footage!
Can we turn compressed air into electricity using Lego? Let’s find out! In this video, I experiment with a couple different methods of generating movement and energy from compressed air. Which is better, and what gadgets can we power?
The first method is a standard piston-based lego pneumatic engine. This takes compressed air, and turns it into rotational energy via a lego pneumatic cylinder. This then drives a magnetic flywheel, which rotates within some copper wires, generating a small current. This is reasonably reliable, but needs more pistons to drive smoothly. Otherwise it’s quite prone to stalling when a significant load is added (e.g., a high-power light).
What excites me however is the prospect of an air-powered lego turbine. If we can spin some fins fast enough, even though the torque is small, we can use a gear-reduction mechanism to output a much greater torque, albeit at a slower rotation. I like this idea, because this setup allows us to spin the magnetic flywheel up to a great speed before a load starts drawing power at its required voltage. This means we can keep the generator from stalling, and we can force more air into the system to power gadgets that require more power.
Let’s see what we can power!

The turbine would probably work better without the spacers between them, so it's not as easy for the air to escape through the side (probably not a big difference tho) And the piston engine would be more torquey and smooth with a second cylinder 90° out of phase (so there would be no deadzones without a power stroke)

[@JamiesBrickJams]

That's a fair point, I could certainly give that a try. I'd also love to get some advice from better Lego builders than me about how to make a better enclosure for efficiency. Failing that, I reckon 3D printing a Tesla turbine could be a fun (though cheaty) experiment

[@Overseer_Yt.]

@@JamiesBrickJamsI’m sure you can find a way to build a Tesla turbine without 3d printing, I’m pretty sure there’s a few lego designs

[@CENREAPERYT]

​@@Overseer_Yt.You can build a Tesla turbine with thin sheets of paper actually.

[@Overseer_Yt.]

@@CENREAPERYT I thought so, but wouldn’t the paper be to flimsy?

[@CENREAPERYT]

@@Overseer_Yt. Not actually. It'll work just fine because the pressure off air would be the same from all sides. I mean,if you put a sheet of paper on sawmill shaft,it can cut through 16 layers of aluminium foil

Yes because energy can’t be created or destroyed only transfer

[@xmysef4920]

Nice video! It seems to work pretty well! I have experienced with making turbines with pneumatics aswell, and one thing I realized is that taking the nozzle from an aerosol can and using it as the nozzle for the turbine helps TREMENDOUSLY. Like, please try it.

[@JamiesBrickJams]

Hot damn that's a great idea - I'll give that a try!

[@xmysef4920]

@@JamiesBrickJams It literally gives the same power for a lot less air used

[@corpsefpv3154]

i've never thought about using those saw pieces as turbines. that's a neat idea.

[@KevinATJumpWorks]

Great idea and execution! One idea for improvement: Remove the spacers between those turbine wheels. You are losing airflow there that you could use more efficiently if the gap between the turbine wheels was a small as possible.

[@JamiesBrickJams]

I've heard that suggestion a few times now, so I suspect you're likely right - I'll give that a try in a future update! Thanks for the suggestion 😁

[@ben2OOO23]

I know how how bro can upgrade this just add some uranium 235 and make a nuclear reactor out of it!

[@TeraChad23]

He'd need to build a core with control rods, then build a water heater that uses the heat from the core to boil water into steam and make a turbine spin. It would work but radiation, cost and legal troubles are things to consider.

[@txikitofandango]

I like your narration in these videos. It's just the right amount for narrating your thought process

[@JamiesBrickJams]

Aw thanks a lot! I know it's not for everyone, but I enjoy making the videos this way, so I'm gonna keep this style 😄

[@fatboy_slippy]

I would add a gearbox to make it able to spin faster, as the rotor acts like a flywheel. I would also make it water based as water is heavier and cannot be compressed, making it unable to lose power that way. But overall, nice work!

[@JamiesBrickJams]

Originally I had planned to use a gearbox, but to be honest, the efficiency losses due to the mechanical setup of Lego gearboxes made it a very poor performer. But I'll certainly try a gearbox for a future more powerful cylinder-driven generator!

[@Simple_But_Expensive]

Would like to see your 3 phase generator power a 3 phase brushless motor. Don’t forget to add load so your inrush current doesn’t damage your motor. Edit: I just discovered your channel. Going back over your other videos, I came across your levitating fan. This might be an excellent candidate for a 3 phase motor. It would eliminate the need for the reed switch altogether. Just in case you don’t want to do the conversion, I posted another suggestion there.

[@JamiesBrickJams]

Another excellent idea, thanks for all your suggestions today! That's true, treating the fan as a traditional brushless motor is totally doable. I'll be honest, it does feel like a weird and lossy way to power it, but I sure do love the over-engineered nature of it 😁 Will certainly bear that in mind for some future experiments!

[@Innergaming111-gs3xm]

I had never thought that more electricity that the output needs would effect the magnet-copper resistance! Thanks!

[@JamiesBrickJams]

Yup! Work is work. If you want greater output, you always need greater input. No such thing as free work 😊

[@fabe61]

Watching those beefy round magnets spin at such a high RPM after just being pressed into the Lego rectangles made me tense up - I’d be so worried about spinning one of them up and into the ceiling (or my face)

[@JamiesBrickJams]

I was worried too at the beginning! Can't believe there wasn't an accident. On the other hand though, they're wedged in REAL tight, so I'm not surprised they didn't budge. Beefing this up any more would need more security though for sure

[@darshanfishe]

Wait but wouldn’t that be running on thick air if it was compressed?

[@mylittleparody2277]

Use a MPPT chip to gather as much power as you can! You can charge up a LiIon cell, and probably expand your lighting time at least a bit. The passive AC to DC is lossy, and you waste ennergy by not using all the voltage and current when available. An MPPT chip will help you with that = ) Also, the flying wheel was like a mechanical capacitor, it would improve stability a bit too (even is your last design is "heavy", so it probably don't need it). So, yeah, nice video, thank you!

[@Jamboxxx]

Its kinda possible to create a generator from spinning a bike wheel thing, like just attach a big gearbox to it (obviously not a lego one) and connect it to these magnets in a bigger circumference and a bit more of the wire, and you have a big voltage generator!

[@JamiesBrickJams]

If steam didn't melt Lego that'd be an awesome project 😉

[@ZaneFroster_]

how do you make your coil? is there any special way you wrap it in to a circle? and one more question. what wire do you use

[@JamiesBrickJams]

Those coils I actually just wrap around some Lego. The middle is a small technic smooth bushing, and then I often sandwich it between a couple of Lego wheels or liftarms. Then you just wrap a bunch of turns! At the end secure it by wrapping a bit of wire around it. I believe these coils were made with 30 gauge copper wire

[@CENREAPERYT]

You should put coils a bit further from the centre so the magnets pass in front of them completely.

[@JamiesBrickJams]

The position was carefully done so they do pass perfectly in front of the coils - perhaps the camera angle didn't show that off well enough. But you're still right in a sense - positioning them further out could potentially increase output slightly as they'd be moving faster against the coils

[@elumalaiponnusami3949]

The video is nice 👌 My question is , how do you achieve the required air velocity at the nozzles out of “ thin air “ ? I assume this is nothing but a mini windmill ! But how to convert thin air into compressed air of pressure & volume ? 0:07

[@JamiesBrickJams]

I guess a turbine is technically a kind of windmill with extra steps. Not sure I entirely understand your question, but the air nozzle is just supplying compressed air (at high speed) from those bottles. And the bottles were supplied air by the compressor. So as the bottles release air and return to atmospheric pressure, that high speed air turns the turbine blades, which then go through a gear reduction to turn the rotor. The term 'out of thin air' is just a fun play on words 😉

this is insane :O i wish i was 12 years old right now ! keep up the great videos :) xoxo

I have a video idea for you that doubles as something useful as a diy project for your audience, can you make a hand crank powered usb phone charging port out of Lego? Preferrably with some kind of internal power storage so you don't have to worry about your phone getting a stutter charge if you aren't cranking right or get tired before your phone is charged?

[@JamiesBrickJams]

Love a good crank generator! I actually already have a video on a hand crank generator that uses a voltage regulator to stabilise the output at 5v, pretending to be a USB, and was used to charge my phone. But will likely do something like that again in the future

[@PeterGeorgeThompson]

[@ZaneFroster_]

when you made your coil, did you use bare copper wire or was it clear coated?

[@JamiesBrickJams]

Im thinking that you put the air pump like powerfull one and hook the power into generator and the powerfull pump goes to air bottle and i think it makes infinite electricty btw convert the volt like 7 to (the pump volt requirement)

[@JamiesBrickJams]

Ha I wish. Converting power from the pump to air then back to electricity is one of the least efficient ways of energy conversion 😉

[@i-refuse-to-set-a-username]

How does one go about obtaining a bunch of random lego technic pieces to mess around with things like this? Do you just buy specific kinds of pieces off of brick link or did you already have them lying around from lego sets?

[@JamiesBrickJams]

A combination of all of the above to be honest. I've collected various sets over the years, and also get orders via Lego 'pick a brick', and Bricklink

[@user-zc6dx6ty6i]

Bro just a question why do you used a bottle how did it work 😊

[@JamiesBrickJams]

Hey, the bottle stores compressed air from the compressor. A valve keeps the air in. When you open the valve, the air is forced out, which blows over the turbine blades, powering the generator

[@user-zc6dx6ty6i]

❤

[@ventrassora7721]

Sry i might be stupid but HOW does the air transfer from the bottles to the Valve U put something on the bottles to press the air out ? Or am i missing something

[@JamiesBrickJams]

So the bottles have a pipe going into it, and a 3 way valve connected to that pipe. A compressor then pumps air into the bottle, and the valve is then switched to the middle position, sealing in the compressed air. Then when you want to reject the air, you simply open the valve again. It's just a standard Lego pneumatic valve!

make a lenz less generator. need one medal disc rotor from a saw cut away the teeth's then cut the disc similar to a turbine but so that the steel can cover one magnet and one coil with the space of one magnet empty. then place magnet and coil in the stationary frame one magnet and one coil and repeat. place another set on the other side. place the disc rotor in between the two sides of the stationary frame and when you now rotate the disc it will alternate the inductance between the coils and the magnets but in such a way that there is no drag on the load.

[@JamiesBrickJams]

Hmm will need to do some research to understand what you're proposing here. But I'd be cautious - there's no way round the conservation of energy. For a generator to output anything (with a load attached), there will always be resistance against it. That's a requirement for energy to be transfered from mechanical input to electrical output.

[@Eledokener]

Try making a pump that eats electrycity from generator to get more air in the bottle almost infinite electricity

That’s actually a one-to-one gear ratio known as a direct drive. Did you take out both gears from the generator and the engine you will get an actual direct drive

You're right, not the smartest idea - it would have been better designed if I removed the gearing for that one rather than losing efficiency through the gearing. But a future version will run much better!

what if you also spin the copper coil and if you think the wires are going to get entangled look at how a dc motor receives its power
