  • Let's see how Lego-compatible stainless steel axle deforms or breaks when high torque is applied.
    The test bench is made using only plastic Lego parts. Enjoy!
    The axle was bought from Brick Machine Shop on BrickLink (obsolete)
    store.bricklink.com/Eezo?item...
    it was later sold by cncgear on EBay (obsolete)

    • @KaylaJoyGunn
      @KaylaJoyGunn Před rokem +9

      I remember when this first came out, a lot of poorly informed commenters were saying this was fake, and it wasn't really steel, that's why in the sequel he went to great lengths to prove the materials in question were what he said they were.
      But just from watching the video, I'm baffled how anyone can mistake the plasticity of steel as anything else. Aluminum can be stiff, but it is so brittle. It can't be twisted many times and remain strong.
      Oh well. People are so used to the internet being fake, I guess, that the honest man gets persecuted.

      The thing is that it might be possible to bend a car in half using just a few of Lgo compatible electromotors and a lot of gearing.
      It would be very cruel and torturing too as the process of bending might take hours or days.
