As a vehicle mechanic, I can safely say this is a fairly accurate representation of how these suspension types act on real vehicles.

Because school buses are big and heavy so they need a strong leaf suspension

[@zreolmeannin]

Nice contraption, you should make a car with pneumatic suspension, using those small transparent blue Lego pneumatic cylinders. If I remember correctly, they have very low friction. Also you can use them as shock absorbers, pairing them with normal Lego shocks and connecting their inlet to their outlet directly with a short tube, so they basically work as real ones. And you can make a hose-pinching system that allows you to control the airflow through the tube, as in switchless Lego pneumatic compressors.

[@Luftmysza.]

@Majeed's Gaming sometimes his genious... it generates gravity.

[@sammythewhammy69]

Sounds like you could make them!

[@zreolmeannin]

@@sammythewhammy69 I have very little experience with Lego pneumatics. Maybe I could build something like that after some parts shopping and R&D

[@popuptoaster]

They wouldn't work as shock absorbers(dampers technically the spring itself does the shock absorbing), air is compressible and is springy so works for springs, you want something non compressible that you can restrict the movemnt of to damp the springs, "gas shocks" only have gas in to keep the liquid under pressure to stop it foaming.

[@zreolmeannin]

@@popuptoaster I know, but with friction from the cylinder shaft bushing it might work to some extent, maybe you could fill them with thick oil or something with high surface tension so they don’t leak

This is incredible. I can't imagine how long it took you to research, build, record, and edit all of this together. Amazing

[@zerodivided3676]

Would love to see a comparison to a verhicle with NO suspension at all. Because this still looks quite rough to a vehicle layman such as me, but I imagine no suspension would just break the vehicle or simply not work at all. But at least then we'd have a reference , a 'base line' to compare the other suspensions to. Great work. Love this format; all of the complexity and entertainment value is in the builds itself - this doesn't require flashy editing, annoying music or narration. Very refreshing compared to most channels.

[@PurpleArrow_o7]

I want to throw my hat in and second that.

[@DrRussian]

As somebody with an older style tractor, I second this. Back wheels are bolted straight to the trans, while front is just a panhard without springs, basically a free floating bar.

[@MrSlimeMan01]

I’ve worked with cars for quite a while now and I can tell you that suspension is definitely doing it’s job, but I can also say that it’s not really designed to deal with those bigger bumps. His second test with the small bumps is most likely what a normal passenger car would experience on a standard road and you can see how little the body jumps around. The reason it still bounces is because shock absorbers on a standard car have oil in them with different size chambers and valves with different resistance between them to dampen the bump and reduce bounce. The shocks he uses are just springs and no oil to dampen the shock.

[@bokchoiman]

The car probably needs more weight to reduce the apparent effect of the springs.

[@Obi-WanKannabis]

it is quite rough but these bumpers were literally rectangles the size of the sidewall, hitting them in a real car would destroy the wheels.

[@hpiccus]

Two points to consider. Try softer tires. The hard tires causes the everything below the shocks to have unsprung mass which may contribute to the wheels breaking off. Also, I really like your step by step approach. You start out each assembly simple and small, and equally important, you gradually step it up in size and complexity allowing you to see clearly what works and does not work. Then this allows you to learn all along they way.

[@florisvideler]

Would love to see a pushrod and double wishbone too! Maybe a solid axle coil to compare to the solid axle leafspring

[@lichking3711]

Love the vid, it's a great demo of the designs and should be in any automotive/kinematics class. A couple of notes on the suspensions: - Leaf spring is cheap and easy to beef up, hence why it's still used. The space it requires is not a concern on pickups or actual trucks - Camber will change on every suspension with load and it will also change slightly when the wheel & steering knuckle assembly moves up. Double Wishbone minimizes that change and is therefore preferred for performance cars - Another way of setting up torsion bars is seen on early 2000s Tahoes, Suburbans, Lexus LX series, and old (60s-70s) Mopars - the bars are oriented longitudinally and are attached to the lower control arm, which itself is part of a wishbone suspension. You make use of the wasted space between frame rails and you can adjust them much easier from the bottom of the car - there's a giant bolt about 1.5 cm in diameter that adjusts and holds the tension

Steering issue of Beetle suspension was solved in ZAZ-966 and 968. Also in Beetle it was made different - steering consists of 2 triangles with steering box in the middle. Also you can see similar 1936 Cord suspension that eliminates bump-steering. And Citroen 2CV - that eliminates front-back tilting but has a body roll)) Also an interesting alternative to McPherson is Lancia's sliding pillar suspension, which was as well used in Morgan 3-wheeler for decades

Dude really…………. This video WAS SO COOL………. I’m an automotive engineer and playing Lego Technic since I’m 5-6 yo (was in 1985-86), you cannot imagine how much I enjoyed your video!!!!!!!!! Especially because I was working on different types of suspensions since I’m around 7-8 yo!!!! This was an absolute fascinating subject to me!! Then transmissions, differentials……… I’m 100% sure you feel me 😄 And I have to say the different suspension systems are so ingeniously transcribed into Lego!!!!! You’re VERY talented, thanks a lot for the video 😃 Big salut from France 🫡🇫🇷!! ViNZ.

I was really surprised the one with leaf springs came off instead of the leaf springs breaking. Really good job with the build design on that one! (I mean, they're all great, and beyond my capability.. but the leaf spring one was the most surprising. It also worked better than I thought it would - which I guess is why large vehicles still use them.)

[@engineeredtofail6746]

Large vehicles use them because they are really stiff, they are cheap and so sturdy, if you need to add a lot of weight you just increase the number of leaves, they are really hard to break and also the little swinging mechanism takes the first impact in order not to force the leaves too much, in a nutshell: leaves take the job of the coil spring and are widely used for large trucks because they are really hard to break or fail

This is one of the coolest lego builds I've ever seen! It's so amazing you thought all this out on your own!

[@-everynyan-]

This was really cool and satisfying to watch, if this video hadn't been displayed in my recommended videos, I'd be crying myself to sleep right now. This might be the lego video ever.

I loved making torsion bar suspensions from Legos they always performed phenomenal.

[@greggorga4171]

I love how this video doesn’t have music, music gets annoying after awhile. Good job 👍🏻

It seems hilarious to me that when running over the thicker bricks (would probably sound funnier if I knew the name for them), it simulates a Lego person being run over lol

[@BrickTechnology]

Lol

This was an amazing video! I love the real world lego connection! If you still have your system set up you could try to see how different wheel base length affect the suspension also! This was just so fun to watch!
