- Performing user requested experiments with my never ending (theoretically) domino ring, built using LEGO bricks. Turn on captions for some commentary on the build.
Building instructions available on Rebrickable: reb.li/m/154805

Making of video: • Making an Infinite LEG...
1 hour live stream test: czcams.com/users/liveUtSvkF64d6w
The ring contains 64 dominos. A ramp runs along the inside of the ring, opposite the falling dominos, to lift them back up. A Mindstorms EV3 is used to monitor and control the speed of the ramp so that it matches the falling dominos.
Shout out to @GrantDavis for his awesome infinite domino machine ( • Infinite LEGO Domino M... ), which inspired me to finally finish this project.

The rainbow is pretty satisfying, but I’d love to see a full gradient, like each domino fading into the next color
10000%
I think LEGO has some missing colors? I may have old info.
Yeah not really possible with current Lego colors
By my count he could do a rainbow of 14 colors without it looking weird. The other colors are too light or too dark. The problem is a lot of the colors I used probably don't come in the bricks required.
I used Red, Orange, Bright Light Orange, Yellow, Neon Yellow, Lime, Bright Green, Green, Dark Turquoise, Medium Azure, Dark Azure, Blue, Dark Purple, Magenta.
It's possible if you use small pieces and have one or few dominos be made of two colors. Something what pixel artists do.
I just realized after watching this thing mutliple times in multiple videos. This is basically the lego version of a loading/buffer wheel, but I actually like watching this one.
The UI element you refer to is known as a spinner, throbber, or indefinite progress indicator. Their purpose is to indicate your machine is not frozen, although the result is not ready. Same thing with disk or network activity lights. The other side of this would be a "watchdog timer" (or impatient user), which aborts a process (timing out) if it's not showing enough signs of activity.
With a bigger ring, that double wave would probably look amazing. As it is now, it’s a little too small to pull it off.
That would need so much lego parts, even for him 😅
@@Ptiripou-pf2nki don’t think they were saying to make it bigger, just explaining why the effect doesn’t exactly work like expected now.
👏🏻👏🏻🤩💯🏆🎵🥳🎉🎶
I LOVE the double-wave at this speed & diameter!! Just right for my brain!
One must imagine Brickworks happy
lol
Both tile changes were good, could they be combined together (rainbow w/white backs)? I think it helps visually with noticing which blocks are down.
Or: lighter shades of the colours on their backs
Considering the ramp runs on train tracks I'm wondering if other shapes besides a circle are possible, but that'd involve a pretty thorough redesign of the system with driving motors on the ramp-train itself controlled remotely by the mindstorms unit.
Yes, it's possible. Also, the Powered Up hubs used in current Lego train sets are programmable and communicate via radio, so you don't need specifically Mindstorms. The train motor doesn't have the rotation sensor to know its speed precisely, but this design uses feedback from the flag, so that's not critical.
Power Functions trains can also be remote controlled, but with less precision, so you might need frequent checkpoints to keep them from running into the falling wave.
3:35 my brain went "hey wait, that's me?" Thank you, these different things was satisfying. You're brilliant
Just subbed to u!
Dude made the most satisfying loading screen
Yes
Love this for my ADHD brain
Same
Same and I have ADHD
Brain go happy mode with the click sound. So agree.
Ya my head went like 🔁
fr
Very satisfying
indeed
This is so fun! I wonder if you could add a couple of MOC figures on the front and back parts of the train to make it look like one guy is knocking down the bricks and the other is picking them back up? Not really a test, just seems like it could be fun visually.
When the wedge is going faster than the wave front (42%), start a second wave behind it (the wedge) before it catches up with the first. Repeat as necessary.
OMG it's like the loading logo 😂
Love it, so satisfying ❤
Now add a camera to the rotating part showing the dominos fall infinitely
Whole video for peoples comments. Always glad when creators actually care enough for giving viewers attention.
Super cool
As I can see bricks consist of many pieces. You could make a fake gradient by mixing some of the colors of bricks in rainbow
F.ex. First red brick is fully red, next one has one orange part, next one has 2 orange parts, ... next only 2 parts red, 1 part red, fully orange.
And then continue until full set is colored in such gradient!
In any way, thank you for those experiments! Especially 2 simultanious waves. Such satisfaction😊
Now make a real configuracle track out of it with straight lines and turns. You may even add slopes if you can. I would love to see how you manage to rework the ramp.
Configuracle?
I really liked where it was just chasing the falling dominoes. It looked like it was trying to catch up but never quite can.
The sound is so cool!
I think it would be interesting to see you try to make 2 separate rings of domino's falling however one ring falls clockwise while the second ring falls counter clockwise
Cool end shot with the logo lining up with the build.
The single wave is fun to watch, the double wave is truly mesmerizing. 😳
One must image the lego machine happy
So satisfying. I want it. Great job
Satisfying
Absolutely AWESOME build by an Imaginative GENIUS!!
👏🏻👏🏻🏆💯🤩👍🏻🎶😍🎉🥳🎉🎵
Fabulous & Creative Builds!!
I’ve been binge-watching your videos for several hours and L❤VE how you build repetitive actions and “more complex combination mechanisms” from “simple” action builds, and integrate them into your Lego figures & creatures & scenes! Thank You So Much for sharing them with us!! 😍
This is amazing
i'd like to see the camera mounted above the axis that the ramp is rotating around, looking straight down and rotating along with the ramp.
would be interesting if you made the whole build itself rotate at the same speed as the arm lifts the dominoes, so the point of falling/lifting would "stay in place" from the perspective of the camera, then maybe the version with rainbow colors would also look more satisfying as they would "flow" into one another in a way... not sure if it would work as easily as I imagine, but definitely could look cool
Make a 10 hour loop of just this going round and round. This will help me fall asleep. Please please please!
The problem is that the falling speed is not perfectly matching any speed he can set the train to go around at, so it only lasts a couple minutes.
@@SamuraiGuywith the mindstorm sensors it may be possible to detect when the train passes a certain point and when the falling dominos reach that point, then adjust the speed accordingly.
@@dragonmasterlangeweg7625... that's precisely what this design does to begin with. More detail in the first video. The too slow or fast examples here are done by disabling the control loop.
One could imagine dominos happy right now
One idea came to my mind, and that would be playing with different levels/heights. Maybe even a second storage and the falling dominos changing with each round from up to down and vice versa.
One must imagine Sisyphus to be happy.
The rainbow one is so pretty!!! Always fascinating to watch your creations. :)
Making the ramp lead the dominoes is by far the most compelling display. Balanced looks too mechanical, almost like the falling is as controlled as the resetting. Trailing and double are in the middle.
Mesmerizing!
One must imagine domino happy
I can't believe I got a shout-out in this video with my old youtube handle haha.
(I was the one suggesting rainbow bricks.)
soooooooooooo satisfying 😮
It would be amazing to see two rings of dominoes fall in opposite direction, with two carts (on two levels potentially) lifting them back up. However, it would it different timings per round, but still fun.
It would be cool to see like a ball travel along with the falling dominoes. I don't know how that would work out, but maybe like add a groove to the dominoes so the ball would fall through the groove onto the next domino etc.
Sisyphus moment 💀
This is like a loading icon!
That is a mind bend my man
So mesmerizing to watch! one question: how does one collect so many pieces to build things like this?!
A lot of lego youtubers will order parts online (eg, at bricklink) when they know what they need for a project. Do that enough and you get a hefty collection for experimenting before you have a solid plan. Otherwise, just a lengthy history of buying lego sets.
I really like the double wave 👍
I’m ngl, I feel like it’d be cool to have a construction theme around this, like having a diorama- or even a functional model that you could interact with.
The double one was awesome.
So wicked
do you think it would be possible to do a figure 8, where the train gets handed off to another arm? it might have to be a double train so that the intersection doesnt have any overlap
What if you motorised the train, and then have it run underneath a track of a different shape? In theory you could run it under any shape of domino track, but something like a figure 8 or rectangle would be cool
Bigger Ring! or make the control on the track itself so you can have other shapes!
One must imagine Sisyphus happy...
neat
I still say that Sisyphus should be pushing the train, constantly resetting the dominoes!
Is it possible to make the whole track turn instead of making the train go around? I wonder if some physics effect would help it match speed that way, and I think the rainbow would look better that way.
Top 10 most satisfying things to look at open place this at 4th place there might be more satisfying things out there
i like both version of this Domino
This would make a cool loading screen for a lego game
REALLY love your work man.
But I've been meaning to ask you
Where do You buy your pieces? I've been looking for them on LEGO stores but I can't find pieces like the ones You use
one must imagine sisyphus happy
I was telling a friend of mine about this and when she finally asked the inevitable question of how do they stand back up without missing a beat and with the most dead serious face I said "I'm not sure but it's magic probably or some type of sorcery, witchcraft maybe"?😃 Cue the spit take followed by 3 minutes of gutbursting laughter. 😂🤣
My new loading screen:
Maybe you could make an infinity shape? The center would be a tricky part though
1:25 is like a loading screen from a game 🤣🤣
would it be possible to add a second or even third layer on top? like a multi-layered cake made of lego dominos
if you could put maybe a plate over the middle i think it would be more mesmerizing because the ramp kind of draws attention away from the dominos
This machine memorises me.
Memorise?
@@afantashoon6969i believe they ment mesmerize.
@@dragonmasterlangeweg7625 most likely yes.
Hey guys, interested by those kind of technic constructions for a few month I was wondering where to start in terms of obtaining all those specifics lego gears and pieces ? (should I pick different lego technic set or anything like that)
SICKKK
Cool
Oh I remember this thing!
One must imagine the ramp happy
My mind goes "Kitchen Machine"... now I want to make a cake.
Would it work with mini figures pegged on top of or instead of the dominoes?
How does it do that disappearing trick? Then it turns the domino's white on one side. Amazing.
Multi layer like a tower running different speeds to make it look like theres a constant spiral goin up
If the ring has 4 trains it will look like an Argentinian symbol that my grandad salutes everyday😊
Loading screens need to look like this
I don't know if it would work, but maybe legofigures instead of bricks!
can you put 4 ramps. and it can work if you used more precise speed settings not like 40 percenets or 42 or 38, and like 40,5 or 38,7
it seems to take almost exactly 5 seconds to make one revolution, if you skip ahead or behind with the arrow keys the pusher ends up in the same spot
One must imagine Lego robot happy
Can you use a train motor and have some other turns or straight lines?
Wow!!
Is there a way to get a second, inner ring that moves at the opposite direction?
What about a Venn diagram style, with two circles intersecting each other. Could that even be possible? What about something like the Olympics logo, so that each circle had a cascading effect, just a thought, I don't even know if it's possible.
One must imagine sisyputh happy
how fast and how slow can you make the ramp go???
how about the bricks turning and the train stationary
So when are you going to make a Zoetrope?
“Hey it’s me flying gorilla and I made a game flying gorilla” 😂😂😂
6:01 looks like a loading logo 😂😂
is there a way to make it an irregular shape?
Cool video bro 👍
Thes Prison,
To Hold ME?
this has to be a sisyphus reference
now imagine if there was a doubble wave on the rainbow for the memes espechily becase of doubble rainbow songs on youtube lol
literal sisyphus reference
how big of a ring can you possibly make? can you fit 300 dominos?
