I'd love to see the storage/Wind control automated: Have it so that so long as there is sufficient torque on the Wind generator, the train is moved and the Weight is raised, then when the torque dips below a certain amount, then the weight starts to fall.

This channel is extraordinary, there is always a flaw and then he finds a solution, and he finishes what has to get done. He goes step by step process and he doesn't skip, he uses what he has and makes what his brain puts it as what he sees. Bravo.

[@SoraBorg]

Just like an engineer.

[@headrockbeats]

Is there no mechanical way to charge the "battery" while also driving the train? Split the power automatically until the battery is full, then divert all power to the locomotive.

[@BrickTechnology]

Yes there is, the battery has to have less weight for this and there needs to be more wind. The train can also be driven super fast by battery and wind in combination

[@parkeryj3135]

@@BrickTechnology but if you just increased the leverage on the pulley by adding more pulleys then you wouldn’t have to have more wind or less weight? It would take longer to charge but that also means that it would run longer once fully charged?

[@Barnaclebeard]

@@parkeryj3135 It barely has enough power to keep the train moving right now. If you added another pulley, it would probably be too weak.

[@parkeryj3135]

@@Barnaclebeard another pully would actually decrease the load because it would have more leverage. The pully doesn’t increase friction all to much

[@boogaloobender3462]

HOLY SHIT IT'S YOU MATT

[@daecatt]

I realized that while building your energy storage system you could be utilizing chained pulleys ("block and tackle") to increase your mechanical advantage, which would let you use a heavier weight! With a few more pulleys you should be able to store dramatically more power in a shorter tower. SmarterEveryDay has a fantastic video on pulleys if you wanna read up on it.

[@BrickTechnology]

I tried, but friction increases and it gets stuck more often

[@akaraven66]

So using power to generate wind to move a windwill, sounds like a train engine with extra steps. I can't believe how intriguing this channel is watching a grown ass man playing with Lego, the ideas, the way to build it all, overcoming difficulty and making it work, it's so great.

[@hiphopguy0]

Really cool, I'd like to see some sort of flywheel introduced for smoothing out the energy input, and maybe a speed governor to to enable energy be sent to storage as well as the load.

[@marceau1531]

I love how you engineer this shit out of nothing, solving each problem when it comes to you. It's smooth af to watch 👍

[@EnigmaScience]

Absolutely adore your builds with energy storages and other demonstrations of physical principles, videos like that would be really inspiring for children when they only begin learning physics at school! Thank you for putting so much time, effort and ingenuity in your videos!

[@doluggs]

marvelous. I very much like the weight-tower at the end of the clip. The only thing missing is automatic power selection: if the wind blows, the train moves first on wind. At strong wind the weight is lifted as well. At no wind, the weight drives the train.

[@organsinajar]

I love how you stored potential energy, makes me think of how water towers work to supply water even when everyone is using the pumps

[@brucehanson6280]

I love the concept of "I'll use a motor to power this wind turbine to drive this train without a motor!" Absolutely insane build guy great job!

[@davidk4145]

Fantastic. It must take such a long time to plan and execute the build all while filming it. The editing of the build sequences especially must be mind numbingly challenging. Thanks for the great videos.

[@jaysdood]

It would be super cool to have the wind power the train and charge the "battery" simultaneously and automagically switch to and from battery as the wind stops and starts again. Very cool as it is though, well done 👍

[@cll1out]

You didn’t just build a wind powered train you built a whole infrastructure around it

[@matthewtalbot-paine7977]

Pretty cool would be even better if when there is wind it can take a certain amount to the battery

[@sharonburton3722]

Enjoyed this a lot. Particularly appreciate seeing the troubleshooting steps instead of just going straight to the final build. There's one thing I don't quite follow ... what prevents the weight dropping when the turbine isn't pulling it up, or prevents it from dropping faster when it's being used to drive the train?

[@x-macpro6161]

[@niklaspitz9454]

This is really a great build. To increase the energy storage capacity you could also increase the mass of the weight and add another pulley to compensate for the bigger force. This would allow for a much more compact design.

[@BrickTechnology]

The problem is this would increase friction. While the big tower build does not increase friction

[@frodosynthesis3690]

I just had an idea and I’m gonna give it to the person that even bothers to read this. Instead of making a wind powered train. You could totally make a bunch of these railroads from here. 3:25 . And then make some carnival games where you shoot the targets

[@m.devellis]

This is amazing. Instead of storing electricity, you just stored the kinetic energy in the form of a pully elevator. This is fantastic.

[@Nyerguds]

The only thing that's really missing is something to split up the input wind power, to make the train go while also taking some of the wind energy to pull up the gravity battery.

[@Erowens98]

Legos have probably caused more people to become engineers than any other toy. What a marvelous invention.

[@stephencresswell4760]

Amazing work. Can the turbine lift the weight while powering the train? What about a water pump or device that can lift water? You could store loads at a good height and then run it back over a waterwheel to power the train.

[@sarahdrewett8518]

bro that is so cool i love the idea and i would love it if you build a better one of them agian

[@davidalexander871]

This could be enhanced with a bank of kinetic batteries, probably a 1x2 or 2x2 combination (i.e. when 1 is charged to the top it flicks a switch to charge another, and only 1 discharges at a time). Other comments have mentioned train operation and battery charging simultaneously, and use of water wheel functionality as well as combined with wind and gravity, with a few tweaks this could come close to a perpetual sustainable machine.

[@BrickTechnology]

That would be possible, you could add many wind turbines and many batteries and connect them with differentials, no switch needed. If one does not charge anymore, the next will charge through the differential. Water would work too.

[@franc.7681]

You are the Master of Lego engineering!!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@amazoniancustodian]

It would be fun to use a battery tester, to calculate accurately the amount of capacity that is lost from the input of the fan over to the storage of gravity.

Every now and then, he would have to wind the mechanism, but it was self-powered for quite a time.
