I like how he format his video in a problem-->solution type, which is the basis for good engineering

Problem: scale breaks. ---> Solution: new scale.
In engineering, you define strength of every part whether its gear or beam. You need to define everything like bending, slipping, material properties etc. Then you define a desired strength for example 100kg lift. You add safety factor to that desired lift. You model it on paper then you get to action. Because you cannot break things or stay at the limits in engineering. Those will create costs and health risks. Sorry for my english.
I feel like this will be how I learn more about engineering, not just strength, but design.
That it's all little plastic parts picking up a large rock.... It boggles my mind!
@@1ericedwards these little plastic peices really hurt to step on, so I'm honestly not to surprised.
I like how he just doubles everything that breaks or doesn't work😂
This man: Makes a lego hoist using his engineering skills.
Meanwhile Adult me: I will make a multicoloured house with an antenna.
can u please elaborate? im dumb so...
James May, is that you?
@HTTP Socket i have no idea what a multicolored House with an antenna is (cause im dumb or maybe it doesn't have a meaning. both cases im dumb)
@HTTP Socket ok thanks
What in the black mesa hell do you mean
Someone: I need to lift this car.
This guy with bag of legos: Give me 10 minutes.
Soon, the title of a video is gonna be “ breaking a diamond with legos ”
breaking Jeffery Epstein's neck with legos
Breaking diamond is actually pretty easy, it’s hard, not tough.
To break diamond just strike with an hammer (even is it’s a solid plastic toy one that’s heavy) it will shatter easily crunching it slowly is the problem
My man really pulled out an entire forklift

@@mythic_universe1068 dw the lift goes at like, 1 cm per minute
I love that this was all done without ever going the easy way of adding additional motors or swapping to a more powerful one.
Thats what scares me... only 1 motor can do that... imagine multiple... no, it will better if I dont imagine that, I want to sleep this nigth.
@@albertfronton3634 torque is a scary thing. remember these tiny motors have 0.05 lb/ft of torque, whereas a nissan leaf basic electric car has around 250 lb/ft of torque (5000 times more). imagine what can be done with that.
@@marcusborderlands6177 probably lift heavy things quickly I'd imagine
225kg with one motor
2.2tons with ten motors

My gosh , if this had a Nissan motor he could lift small mountains
.... why aren't miniature equipment based on lego design?
@@polasamierwahsh421 how would you "lift a mountain" though. Where is the base of the mountain? What mechanism would you use to hold it? What would be strong enough to hold the mountain? I know this was a hyperbole but lol
alt title: "building a functioning, human capable, elevator out of legos"
an elevator that would take hours to go up 1 floor lol
At that point the 1 cm per minute lift speed might be a problem. Unless you have literally 5 hours to spend to go up just one single floor (~3 meters).

I have no shame in admitting that I knew eventually this channel would lead to gear popping Lego explosions.
You have not disappointed.
Bravo
all of these videos are just this man flexing the massive amount of lego gears that he has
Archimides :Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world
This guy : hold my legos
I love that quote because in theory it's perfectly possible.
the fulcrum was the moon
Don't forget that those gears were invented in Archimedes age (I'm not 100% sure but they should have been invented by him as a result of his treat about mechanics) and they weren't re-invented in the so called "modern" age.
I don't know what's so interesting but I never get bored and love to watch whole video.
Same
💩poopie agrees
He's taking a toy and pushing it to its limits with engineering applications, what isn't interesting about that?
@@higgsbonbon yeah. You are right. We ofcourse love that
same.
It’s doesn’t seem that crazy until you realize that this amazing contraption could lift you and possibly a friend up depending on weight
Actually, it can lift up to three adults at 166 pounds (75.3kg) per person.
As my father always says: You can do anything with gear reduction.
2:50 when the machine breaks apart so often you have to move outside so it won’t damage anything
Lego can be dangerous imagine getting shot with one sEe My ChAnNeL
Are you telling me that this little Lego mechanism can lift me… and my friend… and ANOTHER FRIEND AT THE SAME TIME
Or me alone?!
With enough gear reductions and pulleys you can lift whatever you want
@@yousorooo and time
When you realize that you can technically make some really scary torture devices out of legos.
Just step on them
i hate the thought of myself losing in a tug of war to a lego pulley
Need that steel axle back huh. Maybe just a whole set of steel legos. The only limit is material strength and time
And smarts
But if he uses steel pieces it’s not really lego anymore
@@andrewdenito9075 there’s lego steel
@@Caaro99 but I don’t think they’re lego branded
@@andrewdenito9075 Lego in spirit if not in name
To this day, I still love the determination and problem solving when one little piece goes awry. As always, it's marvelous.
It took me until the granite block to remember that kilograms are very different from pounds and this thing is far stronger than I thought
Give this man a bucket of legos, and he’ll probably survive the apocalypse... with a couple extra pieces.
Structural blocks: "Please grant me the sweet release of death"
Haha lol

Dude Legos weren't invented back then, the pyramids were literally made THOUSANDS of years ago, plus the blocks were 1,000,000 heavier than this thing could ever pull. So yeah, stupid comment, should just delete this, idk why It has to many likes, just goes goes show how many people are stupid and would just believe anything that's said on the internet and how there's such a lack of education in our modern day society that people genuinely believe that ancient Egyptians used a kids toy to lift up giant blocks of stone thousands of feet up in the air when they have much better methods of transporting them...
@@resiyun wtf dude, that was just a joke do you see the joke well you ruined it😐
[fucking explodes]
"Gear jumps"
Yo this can tear me in half right?
Man what a creative way to go out
this channel is what made me start playing lego again at 31 years old
Me too, at 21 😂
3:40 As someone said on a previous video, the 'E' stands for 'explode' 👍
I think it’s super cool that you truly understand gears and gear ratios. And also that you can come up with all these different contraptions and solutions.
the calculations and the use of each piece is important, the engineering is amazing.
These 10 minutes of mechanical engineering are far better that 4 year of mechanical engineering
Lol false. What???
CZcamsr: let's make this simple lego device that can lift stuff
The legos: i feel sorry for the next guy that looks at me funny
This guy has probably broken so many records already, and I think he deserves way more support, you're doing great man keep it up
The fact that he used Legos and lego motors that can lift up me and my sister is crazy, I love his creativity and ingenuity
Next video: "Can Lego lift a car?"
With only one motor of course!
It would take literal hours lol
@@mublysnubly3407 worth the try

if the pieces could withstand it
“Can Lego be a car?”
When he hit 50kg I was hoping he'd lift something heavy at the end of the video. I was not disappointed lol

There’s something so beyond satisfying about watching this. Keep it up
I find it amazing, through just the power of ratios, gears and pulleys you make legos have enough force to lift multiple people.
When we all needed him he showed up at the right time.
Historians: "wtf how did ancient egyptians build the pyramids"
me: "legos"
3 weeks ago I started using this as a guide for building my own at home. I scaled the first portion of this build up and made it exactly as he built it. I lifted the max my garage beams will let me(8000lbs) and it has plenty to go. So you know, thanks I guess.
That's terrifying
this is the perfect example of torque. I absolutely love this video. being a gear head this was enjoyable to watch.
It's pretty neat once you remember how damn strong lego parts are lol. Breaking them is tough as hell.
Watching things explode is the best part! Closely followed up with being able to lift that much with Lego.
Setup: *fucking explodes*
BEC's subtitles: Gear slip
the fact that you made a lego lift that could lift someone of 40 kg in just the first quarter of the video is insane to me
"You're a grown man. You dont need to play with legos."
This dude with legos- *builds a functional nuclear reactor fully out of legos*
I suspect that the materials limitations would mean a decent portion of that would be things other than legos.
Bloody amazing. Cheers, mate!
💩poopie agrees
Given enough time, I'm confident this dude will be able to lower an adult into a mineshaft, using only Legos
Man, this machine lifts even me!!! Amazing!!!!

3 minutes in n some of your designs can actually lift me .
I love the asmr associated with building the models
just imagine this relatively small lego creation could lift most of us 3-5 times!
5 times? how much do you weigh lucky if it could lift me twice
@@djscottdog1 you weigh above 120kg? I think you may have confused pounds and kilos lol.
@@djscottdog1 there are enough 10 year old kids watching this, and their "MOST OF US".... but i knew when writing the comment someone would come and talk about his weight.... anyways xD
Once.
Everyday this guy uploads is a good day, tell me I’m wrong.
I can't
That could pick up an average car engine off the ground
It’s funny how one tiny motor can lift that much with enough engineering
Imagine using this as a torture device to slowly pull someone apart.
Oh god
The psychological efect of being slowly torn apart would be devastating. (Not to mention the fact that your being torn apart.)
Man I love these videos! Love to see something so simple pushed to it’s absolute limit. 225kG is nuts!
There is something so incredibly satisfying to see a failure and then a rebuild.. stronger.
I’ll bet you have went through a hell of a ton of legos. It’s awesome how you do all this stuff with them though! 👍
This thing lifts more than I do😂 lol
You're a pretty underrated guy, love from India ❤️
I wouldn’t say 1.5M subscribers is underrated, but I get that it’s meant to be a compliment.

Do you (BEC) have a blast shield yet?
The patience is honestly incredible here. I think I would have given up after four breaks lmao
I would never believe I could learn so much physics from a Lego video.
This is seriously cool, now lift a car or make a car jack lol!
I would love to see a car jack or something that pushes upwards
It’s time for The Brickerverance Rover to be made and sent to Mars!
That said, NASA are offering prizes to people who come up with an entirely mechanical rover for working on Venus, where the conditions are chemically aggressive to semiconductors that computers are constructed from leading to very short operational lifespans.
This can literally lift me up 🤯
It's amazing how it can run off one little motor. The power of gears is ridiculous
The bricks: why are we here ... just to suffer
It’s funny how it goes from looking at red legos and gears to instantly looking at nothing
When scale limit reached so you get new scale
“Sky is not the limit when Mars is on your mind”
To know that this little lego machine could easily lift me up is crazy
