Making the SMALLEST Lego Vacuum Turbine Generator

[@adam-kx7du]

with the power of LEGO, he has turned 240 volts into 10 volts. amazing. (love the vids)

[@JamiesBrickJams]

Haha yeah this thing is totally silly 😅 But a fun proof of concept!

[@TheAIPickles]

@@JamiesBrickJams this could actually be very useful in a power outage if you have wireless vacuum cleaners

[@enty-3035]

​@@TheAIPicklesnaah I would wire it Directy but good idea if you don't know electronics

[@TheAIPickles]

[@tdeng-h8k]

This is very compact. I like it. Ive never seen people use those pieces to transform vacuuming power to rotational power. Very nice!

[@JamiesBrickJams]

Thanks! Me neither, and I'm surprised - seems like a natural fit for vacuum engines

[@tdeng-h8k]

@@JamiesBrickJams Yea, it works perfect for these. the pieces are already in shape, its just there's a gap.

[@JamiesBrickJams]

Yeah it's surprising there are gaps. Though I've tried sealing them, and it actually makes it perform worse. I suspect the gaps actually help bring more air into the tunnel

[@tdeng-h8k]

@@JamiesBrickJams now that I think of it, yes. As it pushes are, the next prop in front pulls in air from the gap. That actually might be a benefit than a negative. I see how it would work better with gaps than without.

[@MidwestSirenProductions]

I like how the generator has a siren-esque sound to it. You should totally try to make a working siren out of LEGO!

I really like this video on how to build the smallest non-LEGO turbine blade. This is a fun and creative project that I want to try out.

[@Novel_Poe]

Perhaps could experiment with one with CVT input to the generator to make a variable output

[@JamiesBrickJams]

That's a great idea, thanks! Would love to try that out on a generator sometime

[@kaplunk1548]

it’d be interesting to see if taping over the gaps in between the turbine pieces makes any difference to the output

You should try to put water for less friction

[@asbestosgta9063]

can you try making plasma with that power it would be very interesting.

[@JamiesBrickJams]

Funny you mention that - I've made a few slayer circuits that you can power with a hand crank generator. And they can excite tubes of gas. Might try to make a video on it at some point

[@jhoelkrissianesisterr1977]

Can you use all of your Lego generator to a rechargeable Lego vehicle to see which one is more effective

[@CenReaper.]

Voltmeter needs to suck a bit of power in order to work.

[@simek1118]

I would love to see some really practical build related to electricity. Not like turning 240V into 10V

[@Swiperpro]

[@MistiMoan]

Could this be added to the engine you did a few days ago to be the alternator?

[@bziemko1066]

Did you calibrate the voltmeter module?

[@MMKnight_1]

Cool. You should try making a lego piston engine next to generate electricity as they're way more efficient and torquey

[@motzumoto1055]

How are they more efficient

[@xmysef4920]

They are cool, but vacuum turbines are more efficient. It’s just the truth.

[@motzumoto1055]

@@xmysef4920 vacuums draw more power than lego "generators" can produce

[@MMKnight_1]

@@xmysef4920 u sure? Turbines waste a lot of air while lve's, especially if they have multiple cylinders, use all the vacuum for the power stroke

[@JamiesBrickJams]

I'm certainly keen to create a piston vacuum engine. And if I can get a similar generator design, it could be interesting to compare the efficiency

where do you get all the lego pieces? I'd love to try out some of your projects! (amazing vids btw, ur my new fav youtuber)

[@thatoneginger]

Am I crazy or would the coils going around the magnets work better than next to them? No expert, but I feel like I’ve seen that more

[@Dbb586]

[@Firstmateducc]

wow, i'm really surprised now it turned out, great job! also i have a question, where do you get your magnets and wires from? i really want to try these things but the internet is hard to navigate for good materials.

[@glowytheglowbug]

adorable lil guy! good work :D

so cool im gonna try it out myself

[@JamiesBrickJams]

That's awesome and the best compliment I can take - good luck with yours! I'm sure you can improve on it

[@ConnorStayton-l8o]

i find it funny that he is using lots of electricity to make less electricity

[@chopracer]

you can start a motorcycle with that voltage lol

[@ShaneH42]

I bet it’s more efficient than current fusion reactors 😂

The vacuum wattage is 1200W, whereas a phone charger is around 10W. Needs a bit more work on the efficiency. 😁

[@minhkhangbuinguyen4382]

if there's a chance, could you make lego coil gun v3 ?

[@JamiesBrickJams]

Most definitely! I've got some lovely big capacitors now. Would love to make a more compact version with faster reloading and maybe a magazine

Next time I am in town, lets meet for lunch. At least then I can make sure you eat food instead of electric currents :) See you in December buddy!

[@JamiesBrickJams]

Woop Woop looking forward to it Lukey ❤️

[@qwertyjeffMC]

I think that for the first lego turbine wouldn't really be powerful because you can easily stop it from spinning...But it has a lot of rpm

[@JamiesBrickJams]

You're totally right - the output speed was high... until an electrical load was added. Then it slowed right down with the drag, making it pretty useless

[@KantFromEC]

Not my dumb ah thinking the thumb nail was lightning Macqueen

[@JoachimVampire]

i the sole idea of you teaming up with integza and/or Electroboom.... not sure if it scares me or amazes me....

[@Very_bored_kid]

The vacuum that uses like 20X the amount of power as the generator

[@sjsk-nw7lp]

i like your videos

[@Motosport_Man]

I have an idea, make one so it powers a turbine which sucks air which spins the engine which creates electricity, will this make infinite electricity?

[@SerialDesignationN-y8e]

YAY

[@fifofifo-rw4xk]

Idea 💡 you shall make a 3 phase generator

[@matgaw123]

How is this generator charging you phone is there some protection curcuit? Dc-dc converter? I really hope you didn't do it directly

[@td000009]

what if instead of gearing down what about gearing up from 3:1 to 1:3 will it be enough

[@JamiesBrickJams]

Gearing up unfortunately makes this perform way worse. There's barely enough torque to drive the heavy magnet core. So you end up with slower speeds and almost no current draw

[@td000009]

@JamiesBrickJams can your lego generators possibly power a magnetron i know it's extremely dangerous and life treating if you don't know what your doing. but can't help think of the possibilities a lego generator can do

[@coolokpeeped]

What if you take that and harness the full power of pressure using BALLOONS

[@JamiesBrickJams]

Hmmmmm balloons is an interesting idea 🤔

Where can a guy buy those little noodle light tube things?

[@JamiesBrickJams]

I got those on Ali Express. I think they're called flexible led filaments. There are loads of them on there and easy to find. They're really quite beautiful

[@OuyaWoelders-hi9bn]

pretty unefficient indeed, most vacuums draw about 1000w and your phone can draw 10w at most without any fastcharging protocol. meaning that the maximum efficiency this setup can possibly reach is 1%. almost all phone chargers can reach at least 75% (and thats crappy ones, good ones can reach 95% efficiency).

Haha I'm confident this is producing waaaaay less than 50w 😅 This thing is truly inefficient. But fun!

[@benjidaniel5595]

Infinite energy hack

[@roastedtoastt]

SEAL THE HOUSING

[@JamiesBrickJams]

I've tried that several times and it actually seems to make the performance slightly worse. I suspect the gaps help to bring in more air between propellers

[@missAmelia87]

hey jamsie your magnet desien it not de best if you 4 magnets and put 2 on top and 2on de botem and turn it 90 degrees you wuold have a smoove uit put

[@TejinderSingh-v4t]

why gear reduction why not gear up it is your benefit man i am surprised that people want more power and this guy want to create as less power as it can with the most expense.

[@JamiesBrickJams]

Gearing up produces way less power in this use case than gearing down. If you gear this up, not only does it spin slower due to the reduced torque, it can barely power anything electrical. When you add an electrical load (like a light), it creates mechanical resistance against the generator core. If you have minimal torque, you can't power anything. So it's often better to gear down to get more torque so that you can actually power a reasonable electrical load.
