LEGO vacuum engine with quick-reverse mechanism

[@dragoncoder047]

I finally found a canister vacuum that is powerfully enough (barely) to run this thing! Check it out here: Reversible #lego vacuum engine ACTUALLY WORKS!! kzbin.infoxAxzLmMisTc

Interesting video, as always.

This is crazy, I love it! Did you try lubricating it? You can use olive oil or if you dont care if it's not edible, silicone. I'll sub so I can see it running :)

Maybe it needs a flywheel but being a 2 cylinder it shouldn't.

I don’t want to use anything like olive oil that would get gunky after a while and force me to take the whole thing apart and wash each and every brick. I would have tried powdered graphite but it’s messy and I don’t have any.

Silicone spray is a great choice imo, it will make any lego engine come to life.

@@dragoncoder047 DONT use graphite!! I used it on my first attempt on an lve and the mess it made was horrendous.
