Test 8000 RPM at Lego Minifigure - Lego Technic Experiment

[@DrEngine]

At high RPM, the Lego starts to break down. Any ideas how to avoid this?

[@matejpaulas2535]

Put some plates betwene frame and technic brics and connect technic bricks to frame by some horicontal beams or technic brisćks also if you take off frames and instead use technic bricks and plates you ´ll have much stronger base, or just slow down lol xd

[@jackieglade]

oil the axles

Cross-lock the Lego with perpendicular piecs, beams and pins.

[@IceSki117]

I have. My brother and I once took over the entire front room of our house by emptying all three of our 30 gallon Lego buckets on the floor. We then spent a month building a little city in the "Lego Junkyard" as we started to call it. There was a lot of cursing that month from Legos going rogue and finding feet.

If you do enough calculations, thats the rpm of a high-seperation force fairing.

[@hellbuck]

There's only so much you can do with one motor. The more rpm you shoot for, the less torque you have to spin the minifigure.

[@Josplex]

1:06 loading screens be like:

[@ginganinja0636]

I was gonna say.

[@ZanyZ_zzz]

I think you might be able to get a higher RPM with a more balanced “flywheel” at the end, (either 2 or 4 mini figs in a parallel or star pattern respectively)

Все:просто играют Lego Этот гениальный чел:

[@crozel7262]

The poor guy was literally phase shifting into another dimension holy shit

[@otee1625]

Interesting, the gears seem to have a 1:3 transmition. For the first ones this is roughly consistent: 200rpm, 600, 1800 But then the increase in ratio goes down, seems as the torque goes up it slows the motor down.

[@Kallum]

Low speeds mean there is high torque available, and vice versa. Since more torque is needed to turn the shaft due to the extensive gearing, it cuts down on speed. This is what is observed in the video. To make the transmission ratio increase constantly to 1:3, either more voltage needs to be applied over the DC motor circuit (which is not a good idea), or a second parallel motor needs to drive the circuit over a second shaft

[@playaaaLV]

@@Kallum that's an explanation I was looking for in the comments section, thank you so much! Surprisingly nobody bothered about the reason behind this sudden and significant drop in RPM. Probably everyone just got that naturally... well, I guess I'll need to pass the secondary school program in physics once again.

[@Kallum]

@@playaaaLV No problem! I am a student in electromechanics and power electronics, and i have to say there are many videos on youtube explaining really well how this works. Might be interesting to look up some time, it's really fun to learn about.

great video keep it up

[@juliussloth4665]

I’m surprised the helmet stayed on as long as it did

[@JoeJ-8282]

The point where the friction of plastic against plastic starts to actually slow it down instead of speeding it up when adding the next gear ratio is interesting. If there was a way to greatly reduce that drag, (like with an oil like sewing machine oil, or even by using actual bearings on the shafts or something like that), then you'd probably surely be able to reach that goal of 10K RPM... Or maybe even exceed it... But you will probably also have to find a way to make the LEGO guy more of a *balanced* load when spinning, that way the entire contraption doesn't just vibrate apart and fly all over the room, lol!

[@DrEngine]
