Spinning a Lego Wheel FAST

How fast can you rotate a Lego wheel & tire using a Lego motor and gearing?
Let's find out.

[@ashabulkahfi4908]

[@Grumpher]

You would be able to rotate it faster if you sealed the tire to the rim and balanced it, or just use the rim with no tire

[@roelwieggers4181]

Or put a red bar on the other side of the weel to stabilize it.

[@guilhermeaandrade]

The tire was stretching and making it unstable. Without it it would probably go faster.

[@th0masoml1n4]

Guilherme Andrade but that isn't the same :(

[@Godshole]

Yep, I can see the faces of the guys at the local tire shop when he opens his car boot to show them the wheel he has brought in for balancing.

[@texmex9721]

You could remove the rim and go even faster.

Thanks to everyone for the great suggestions! I definitely need to redo this without the tire. And try adding some lubrication.

[@PhillyRacer121]

I think a wax based oil like rc car guys use would be best. And +1 to the guy who said to glue and balance the tire

[@canis_lupus2220]

Firstly, definately get rid of the rubber tyre. Secondly, fixate the final axis also from the other side, just like you do with your gears. Both should help with the vibration issue. Definatly use lubricant (like many have already suggested). And lastly: no cheating with the drill for top speed. If you really need to use the drill to overcome static friction in the system, please use it only as a starter (maybe building a temporary connection to one of the middle gears, that can be removed easily when the system is started up).

[@kriszenn1125]

tyre

[@PhilBoswell]

I was going to mention fixing the wheel on both sides: that definitely seems to contribute to the vibration problem.

[@ninjafruitchilled]

@@PhilBoswell It could be used to fix more than that, if motors are added to the other side as well. This will reduce the torque load on the axel since the load will be applied in the same direction from both sides.

[@fearlesssole7438]

0:42 sounds so cool

[@igor_scratcher]

1:22 SCANIA ENGINE!

[@michaelbuckers]

Use fewer gears. Even good gears' efficiency is 98%, these plastic ones are probably 70%. You lose a ton of power on every gear connection. Also yeah use some lubrication dude, motor oil would do best but for short experiments cooking oil is fine too. When fresh it provides about the same lubrication as motor oil but when exposed to air it turns into sticky solid gunk in only a few days.

[@Noname-rl2wb]

Use up to 1-30 gear ratio

[@CarsSimplified]

I suspect motor oil may chemically melt the ABS plastic. A silicone based lubricant is probably going to be safer (as long as it isn't propelled with acetone) but less effective.

[@tacokoneko]

i want an engine made of metal legos

[@kennethblocher6110]

I would use white lithium for heavy loads at low speed but pure silicon grease would be great at room temperature for lubricating the parts. I'll give it a try later and update if it works. I'll be using up to three regular motors, I don't have XLs.

[@Tom_-]

Why not use a dry graphite powder as lubricant? Might work better on the plastic as it won't react.

ACo Tam2 : smaller wheel - less fun!

[@ACoTam2]

e1woqf but faster!

[@e1woqf]

ACo Tam2: Yes, maybe. I think the problem with the bigger wheel is that it needs balancing. Now there is a resonance that causes a lot of friction in the simple plastic on plastic bearing and keeps the wheel from spinning faster. The resonance with the smaller wheel might occur at more RPMs.

[@CorneliusCornbread]

e1woqf Yes a smaller wheel is less fun, but it's faster. Which means it's more dangerous, which by proxy, means it's more fun

[@JjVa20]

How do you know the rpm?

[@blessedisdeath]

Piisfun but thats the problem. for the sake of logic, if a camera is taking a picture everytime the blue is at 0 degrees and the next frame the mark are also at 0 degrees then what is to say whether the blue went the full circle once, twice, or ten times before the next frame of the camera? i think when it gets too fast we are losing revolutions in between frames and it is going over 3000 rpms.

[@JjVa20]

Maybe he could calculate the ratios of the gears already knowing the motor's rpm

[@beefjerkymonster]

Mr. Fortnight if the camera records at 60fps, the wheel would need to go 3600 rpm (60fps * 60 seconds/minute) before that would be a problem.

[@Ramog1000]

but the camara isn't recording in 60fps or have you seen a 60fps marker?
