Brick Technology:can you make a trailer with its box, made of legos that works please and I like your contentツ.
Mate all I have to say is take my money you are the most amazing person to think about that you have a big Lego engineering mind keep up the great work by the way where do you get those plastic balls from
Can I just say propeller powered plane i think my life will be completed

the best thing about these videos is how they just get progressively more overkill and insane I love it

You did not just call this a "*toy*"
@@SmallfiguresI mean, it is a toy. It serves no other purpose other than entertain us

That last one looks like some sort of sci-fi portal or reactor thing. Its really amazing what you can do with lego!
It looks like a reactor
@Nina shut up bot
Stinky
A Vortex Reactor, maybe?
Looks kind of like the wormhole generator from the movie contact
2 minutes I was like “cool, something neat…” and then I realize that it’s not over. It just continues to expand and get better in idea and trial.
Agreed. Engineering at it's core
Once I saw that you were using the same basic concept as the ball wheel car (which I love), I was hoping for continuously variable and independent control of each powered wheel. And as usual, you do not disappoint.
LoL, exactly 🤣
Ikr! It just keeps getting cooler :D
You know it's good when it starts looking like something straight out of a sci-fi movie
It was really nice to see the coloured water spinning around. The contraptions look really futuristic… .
This was 1000x cooler than I thought it was going to be, crazy to see the mechanism evolve and how complex the engineering is
No it’s just his sanity slowly becoming less until there’s nothing left and he’ll make it so overkill he’ll make a mechanism that if he spins himself the ball spins as well
@@Theducknextdoor "... and Brick Technology stepped into the accelerator.... and disappeared."
Oh Boy!
This is random but the long someone has ever peed is 508 seconds or 8 minutes and 47 seconds
hearing the bricks snap in place without seeing your hands is some satisfying editing magic
It's stop motion photography. Record the sounds then take the picture after.
Lego Wii games moment
Definitely a reason why i stayes
It's asmr material
bruh u literally see his hands this entire video
This video made me realize that "playing" with legos ignites an engineering curiosity and creativity. That was awesome.
I think he just solved the cold fusion reactor mystery.

@@guyreurtt3860 Can't sell LEGO sets that will clearly wear out with regular play, i.e. the axles and wheel hubs at the end of the video. That and it involves both electronics and water which could go awry.
If they made this with quieter motors, I'd love having this as an artistic water feature with lights that just randomly spin up during the day and night.
This would be a neat Gadget at a bar for mixing drinks
nah but the crazy motor whine adds to the insanity
I think its not the motor makkng so much noise, it is the wheels and gears. I work in an electric engine factory and when you let an electric motor run without the fan thats needed to cool down a motor, you can hardly hear the motor running, but when you add the fan it gets loud. 😉
A lego spinning water watch, powered by the sun. When less sunlight received, slower the spin, until it's night.
Idk, i think idea can be good.
I dont think its the motor, but the friction of spinning object
I did not expect this to be so interesting! Great video! The editing sure kicks in with the snaping and clicking sounds....
With every passing day, we get one step closer to a lego particle accelerator.
Looks like some kind of futuristic energy device from a movie when it's at full speed.

Honestly, these sort of things remind me of why I was obsessed with lego as a kid. I'm a lead systems engineer working in R&D on trains - they should use this sort of thing to teach young engineers on how to approach design problems, I'm genuinely considering introducing it for concept design work in our labs.
Do it! No better way to get kids interested in engineering.
That would be cool. Good luck
I am from Bergamo in Italy ....I just came back home from the local exibition ... the more crowded stand was the LEGO amateur area where ,old persons like me and kids shared the same great passion .

Its insane how beautiful visuals this machine can create. Awesome stuff man. Would love to see a second version where you maybe backlight the spheres by having the light bounce of from the background or you put little lights inside the spheres and have the room completely dark :)
this is the best vortex i seen made with lego on youtube
I design bioreactors for the pharmaceutical industry and your magnetic drive system was very similar to something we were using until recently. We have now moved on to a levitating magnetic drive so its basically frictionless. Would be great to see if you can make that work with lego.
Underated comment
I love this idea
Sounds like you guys in the pharmaceutical industry want to make that and have no clue how to.
@@JannickBahl honestly not a bad psychological trick
Rollo Aller! a simple Google would tell you that we're already selling them. In fact there is plenty of information about how it's done so even if we weren't we wouldn't need a lego builder to show us how.

Not me grinning like an idiot after a genuine audible "WOW!" when the music started up at the end. Very fantastically cool af stuff. Lego. Who'da known?
Aside from how satisfying the sounds of legos put together are I can't stop being amazed by how versatile they are in the hands of competent people
They are really cool in the hands of anyone that isn't me

Ouch :(
If you think Lego Bricks are versatile, wait until you hear about these things called "atoms"
@@michaelfixedsys7463 we can't really split apart the atoms in a tree to make something else yet can we
the fact that Lego can do stuff like that without exploding immediately is a testament to the engineers and manufacturing that make it. I love this.
Two words: brown pieces
Nothing like watching cool videos on CZcams with a really bad ear infection that doesn’t wanna go away :)
Haha the Lego man spinning with the music, plus the whole thing amazing
The 2-axis rotation was some of the coolest lego machinery I've ever seen
Pushing Lego to its limits is always amazing, but this makes me wonder if you filled one of those with resin and spun it if it would cure in the vortex shape.
Amazing idea
Yes, that would be amazing
This idea reminds me of how the JWT mirrors are made. Spin liquid into a perfect hyperbola and keep spinning while it hardens...for three months.
@@BrickTechnology be interested to see if it is possible with viscosity and weight differences of resin, compared to water.
@@peterboyall3506 if you add enough force anything can act like water
It's crazy how people build all these stuff with just your average building brick. Lego Technic and Mindstorms are the GOAT in terms of creativity.
You don't just build, but experiment with them.
Not gonna lie watching those spheres spinning and rotating the liquids is super hypnotic.
I love how your personality is coming through more with each video. Your original videos had your *_method_* , but not your *_madness_* .
They've always had the madness. You've just gotten better at perceiving it. It's also more prominent... But it was always there.
@@thatguy5046 I'll admit your notion that maybe I've just gotten better at perceiving it, might be correct. Most of the time when people play devil's advocate, they're just talking out of their ass to make the OP feel wrong.
So it's very refreshing to be shown a point that wasn't previously acknowledged.
We can test this theory by me watching some of his older videos to see if I can see his personality more, as I do now with his new videos.
I'll let you know the result when I have the time to watch some videos.
This thread is cringe
@@JD______ ong
@@JD______ I always wondered what cringe feels like.
I hope Lego compensates you for all the insane, genius engineering you create. You have elevated Lego awareness to those who have never used Legos (short of stepping on one) like me.
Pretty sure some of his designs are illegal building, but regardless he is the most master builder to have ever built
@@frownyclowny6955 what is illegal building?
@@carlosc6021 there are some “illegal” building techniques in Lego which are never used in official builds (well almost never, I believe there are some exceptions). This is because they put stress on the bricks/parts, because they’re used in ways not designed to handle. You can find a lot of video’s on illegal Lego building techniques. Of course they’re not actually illegal
@@carlosc6021 there are specific rules Lego has put out for buildings, especially for people wanting to be master builders. Violations of these rules are considering illegal Lego buildings. It’s weird but really funny
@@frownyclowny6955 Nonsense.
You can build with your lego's to your hearts desire.
that is the whole concept of LEGO.
Its danish for "PLay WEll" aka Danish "LEg GOdt" = LE-GO.
And when it comes to LEGO technique its classed as 'illegal' if it puts stress on the elements used; these are avoided by LEGO designers as over time, they would cause the pieces to break or deform if its intended as a sale construction-
example LEGO designer would not make a abc carbuild design motodriven kit that is centered aroundfx 100.000 rpm as the tires would simply fly oof with such forces. when its intended to be sold as construction kit, it need to be safe for the masses and be usefull as intended, but as always you can go berserk with your lego and build whatever your mind can imagine and repurpose your bricks.. that is the whole incentive with LEGO.. that you can repurpose your bricks and even suit it up with individuel things, that aint intended for a stand alone kit..
Its doesnt take a Phd to conclude that LEGO designers & backland are just as big a fan of this channel as everybody else, and likely bigger as its their passion -
its f'ocking gobsmacking to see the construction channelholder delivers and the way he modify things to suit the purpose. (extremely fascinating)
All these videos start off with a simple experiment and then progress into something like, "Let's see if we can distort space time and open a portal to another dimension and fuel it with a black hole"
the way the red water spins at 5:36 (and lots of other times too) reminds me of a small toy i used to have that would do the same kind of thing, make that ring of water (i think it was colored blue however) and for the life of me i cannot figure out what it looked like or what it was. it may have been a kids meal toy from the 00s, does that ring a bell for anyone else? i loved that thing
I don't know how long this took you to make, but it was well worth it. Unreasonably cool, and the music choice for the montage was impeccable 🙏
Not gonna lie I thought you were memeing about the music considering the entire video is a montage and there’s no music until the end. But don’t tell nobody. 🤫
Ikr? Unthinkably cool.
Man the fact that you got it not only to spin like that but have it be relatively stable while doing it is really impressive
This is quite possibly the most interesting/mesmerizing video I've ever seen.
My dude went from 'ah yes let's rotate the sphere' to 'WE NEED TO BUILD A PARTICLE ACCELERATOR TO ROTATE THE SPHERE'

I wanna see a Vimana instead.
What would the last device’s sphere look like with two different density liquids? Would it split like a band between the two? Or does density not matter and they would mix? What about non-mixing liquids like oil and water? Wondering if you could get bands of different color created from the vortex!
Honestly I think you should combine them all to create a weird thingy? But the “2 Axis Rotation” is the coolest because kinda simulates a planet rotation
imagine walking into someone’s house and seeing what looks like a sci-fi portal on their desk and you ask them what it does and they say “it spins this ball around really fast”
Given all the stop motion, this person is a real master of craft in both Lego and video production. Total respect!
This looks like something a villian would have in his underground layer

LMAOO
An interesting experiment to do with this is to see what happens when spinning multiple liquids of different viscosities at the same time
In many cases you'll like just end up with a frothy emulsion.
Or maybe put some liquid metals in it
@@maciekmoz how bout both?

I heard they're planning on building a new collider over at CERN, the "large" hadron collider wasn't big enough apparently. Maybe they'll built it out of Lego this time.
It amazes me to see what crazy things people can make with small toy bricks
I wish I had that many Lego bricks to do this project. What a tutorial😮💨
Its amazing to believe that Lego started out as just a toy to build houses, but now people male incredible machines like this. Great work man!👍
It's a toy developed by engineers, played with by children, some of whom who grew up to become engineers. The circle is complete. 😆
Amazing, yes; unheard of or unusual, no. Consider the computer game of Minecraft. A fairly simple game of survival using volumetric blocks, right? People have assembled working computers using the power and logic blocks of the game. If you present a creative or innovative person with a basic building block the only limitation of what they might create is the universe itself.
It's like Minecraft once you get to the redstone part.
It would be interesting to mix two different colors just to see if they will spin interdependently , preferably substances with different density so that they don't mix. Like oil and water.
That could be interesting. In the right conditions oil and water will in fact mix. As a mechanic, I have seen it about 3 times. First was when someone accidently dumped coolant into their engine oil. The other two times were with a rear differential and with power steering fluid. Makes me wonder if his high speed vortexes would be enough to mix them. Almost tempted to try it with a blender.
@@spaghettithetentac1163 it would definitely mix in a blender, blender blades are angled to insure that their contents are mixed well. i think a smooth rotating sphere would likely be a different story
ok
It will mix but it may not stay. Thats what emulsifiers are for right?
Come to think of it you guys are right,
This guy's mechanical skills can only be matched by his editing skills
such a blast..So funny too !!
We got a kid that animates Legos extremely well, then we have build videos like these… great times to be alive that’s for sure
Mark my words people, this man will soon bring us limitless energy with his Lego fusion reactor!
I love the fact that this contraption is completely pointless yet I am deeply invested in its development.
Nope, it's not pointless. It may become a next step in the laboratory centrifuge tech.
By far the coolest video I’ve ever seen
Your videos are just soo satisfying I just love it keep up the good work 😊
Ive never really been a technic guy (aside from bionicle) but I am a mechanical and electrical / controls engineer and recently kind of started dabbling in light technic things for mocs.
you showed that metal technic part supplier and I thought that was so cool that that exists nowadays and I never really thought machining would be incorporated into lego stuff. I never even CONSIDERED you could machine technic parts. That is so cool.
I broke so many technic parts from over torque. My dad gave me one aluminum driveshaft that he salvaged of something that worked EXACTLY right with Lego. ...then I started breaking gears and connectors. Lolol. Anyone else have old school Erector Sets? All metal type Legos with tiny nuts, bolts, electric motors? That was my jam once my grandma got me my first.
Genuinely one of the coolest Lego builds ever.
Im massive impressed by your knowledge 👍👍👍👍👍👍
I wouldn’t be surprised if one of these videos ends up being a particle accelerator or something
Ok, this video has really helped me visualize the turbulent spacetime around a rapidly spinning neutron star. The way spacetime is dragged and warped around the spherical (roughly) shape of the star looks very much like some of the more interesting shapes you achieved. The points when you flipped the rotation and created a moment of turbulence while the system reconfigured also....
What.
Neutron stars are very fascinating

But as an adult, I don’t think I’ve been so glad to be proven so incredibly wrong.
Man’s out here building the kind of machines you see in mad scientist labs or evil villain lairs. Dudes a master builder like in the Lego Movies.
I really like how you can see the "band" of fluid go from turbulent to laminar flow after you turn the spin direction!
This is actually fun to watch! 👍
Just saw the 2024 eclipse. Now I've seen the coolest thing ever done with Lego. Life is good.
The two axis design is surprisingly stable. You did an excellent job keeping unsprung weight off your drive wheels with those CV joints. The load-bearing suspension works amazingly well and accommodates movement better than I expected. I supposed the small design of the casters helps them change direction quickly with little resistance. I'm impressed that the Lego parts in the casters didn't bind under friction caused by all that weight. Then again, you had quite a few, so that helps spread the load quite a bit.
I especially love the use of analog sticks. It allows for some quick, but precise changes in the force/rpm of the drive wheels and you can see how that results in some REALLY cool changes in the angle of the water.
But, what I really wanna know is where you got the plastic shells from?! I need some for a project!
Mmm lego is cool
Neat
lego nice

I like how this entire comment section doesn't answer the question or add onto anything because none of us understood what dude just said.
