Lego Solenoid Engine with Custom 3D Printed Parts - Part 2
Bit of an in-between video before I get to the crazy stuff, haha.
I update the 3D printed parts and build a 4 cylinder solenoid engine.
After that I take a look at the new-old pile of Lego Technic that I bought last weekend :)

Lego Water Engine #2 - It works!
มุมมอง 6K3 ปีที่แล้ว
Now upscaled to 4K with Resolve's great sharpening applied. I'm still learning all this but I think the footage looks a lot better already. Now I need to learn and practice color grading too... Anyways here's my first working Lego water engine, it's a bit of a weak one but all beginnings are basic like this. On to more interesting designs!

Lego Water Engine #1 - Failure Does Happen
มุมมอง 2.6K3 ปีที่แล้ว
To succeed one must fail. I tend to not show all the things that go wrong when designing engines, so here's a video showing all the things that went wrong with this one :) I also have a new camera, recording soundcard and am now using Davinci Resolve for editing, upping the quality of my videos greatly.

Lego Otto Langen Vacuum engine #2 - Experimentation and Completion

Lego Otto Langen Vacuum Engine #1 - It Actually Works
มุมมอง 6K4 ปีที่แล้ว
This project took a long time, due to time constraints and some bumps along the way. I finally got it working proper though, so here's the first prototype of my Lego Otto Langen vacuum engine. The Otto engine was a large stationary single-cylinder internal combustion four-stroke engine designed by Nicolaus Otto and his partner Eugen Langen. Hence the name.

Where did the copper paint on the cylinders go?
Not paint on base but an oxide layer.
wow! what a fast solenoid engine! maybe you can make a v1.1 with all the new pieces and new differential? that lego collection is awesome! i am so jealous! i hope you didnt pay to much for it because many of these parts are quite expensive these days ;-) the 2x4 brick with 3 mounting holes is required for those old pneumatics to work, the pump (with the spring) has to be connected to the central hole, just see the instructions of old lego sets (8040) i am looking forward to your rotary engine!
Yeah it was so fast it would damage itself haha I only paid 25 euros for it, quite the deal I think! Thanks for the tip, I shall experiment with that brick :)
VIDEO
SO MANY IMAGES AT ONCE
Hi
Hello
HUZZAH, THE RETURN OF THE KING
I'm flattered :)
Hmm, there's a bit of compression going on in the video. I will leave it for now, but I"m definitely paying more attention to my export settings for YT next time!
For those interested: the new Lego "unboxing" stuff starts at 4:12 :)
2:08 OWO... 😹
Can you please upload more of these short series as you did 2 years ago?
Working on it :) Almost ready to edit the next video!
Bro just magically came back
Must be those newfangled Crawly Wizards!
can we expect more water engine episodes in the future? i really liked that series!
I do still have some footage of a failed water engine design, but I need to come up with something more for an actual quality video :) Once I got some cool ideas build there definitely will be a new one!
Switches do not like solenoids because of the high voltage backwards electromotive force that happens when the switch turns off...Its exactly how a coil works in an automobile. You are getting a high voltage spike in reverse everytime the switch turns off. I install a flyback diode in parallel with my solenoids and they run a lot smoother and the switch doesnt get putted or burnt....you might google flyback diode and you'll see what im talking about. This is a really cool build...would love to see you refine it.👍
oh yeah, forgot about flyback diodes. Been too long. I should definitely put those on. Thanks :)
Maybe a reed switch and a magnet on the flywheel would work more reliably. Then again, I'm not sure if the magnetic field of solenoids will mess up the reed switch.
That would work, though the switch would only be on for a very short moment. You do want to power the solenoid for most of the stroke, to get the most power.
Very cool! Your videos are always inspiring to get up and build something, I’ve actually had my go at some water engines and stuff like that. Great to see a new video!
Awesome to hear, got more coming!
hello! happy to see you again! an ambitious idea: maybe the stationary engine could drive a conveyer belt crane, the gearbox could be a distribution gearbox to drive the rotation, elevation and conveyer belt of the crane... regardless of what you make, i am looking forward to your future content! the games look very promising! groetjes vanuit België ;-)
I have made a crane before, but not the way you described it. May definitely be a neat idea :) thanks
neat excited for the next part
nice to see you back
Hiiiii :)
I have made a couple of lego solenoid engines. I went from a handmade distributor made from a lego wheel hub to using a proximity sensors that powered the solenoids. I strongly advise to resist from using any kind of mechanical switches here. in your case the lose wires have a light magnetic attraction to the spring when electrified and are magnetically sticking to it in your switch box which is causing your disconnect problems here. Also the spark/back emf that will come out the solenoids will cause additional of problems too. Thats the reason why I insist on not using mechanical switches for such a device cause your in effect creating a spark gap. If you want to make a solenoid engine with a good power stroke it will need to be switchless in design.
Sure, a sensor + MOSFET will do the job, but what's the fun in that? haha :D You are definitely right, but I enjoy the mechanical stuff too much :)
Nice to see you back man!!
Happy to be back :)
are you coming back any time soon?
I just got a new part-time job this week, which is great for my financial stability/security. This means I can start sorting my time a lot better than before. I'll still do gamedev, but I don't need to stress it now. I REALLY want to get back to B&B, so once I'm settled into my new job the coming weeks I'm going to have a new go at some Lego and modelling designs :)
@@brassandbricks7701 keep up the good work m8
what if you add tires to those wheels?
Extra weight also means you need the beans to get it moving. It's a bit of a balancing act with engines that have just enough power to run themselves :P
Please put your wigly bogly blingy engine into anlego car that can have a bucket filled with water and then move forwards slowly
I really want to make one now but with a valve gear to reverse directions
I’ve been making valve gears in Minecraft I want one on my desk lmao
Good call, I should experiment with that too.
very good channel, calm and simple no garbage
Appreciate it!
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Neat!!!!
Dude you must put this on an RC car
what are the benefits to have rhombic drive compared to a "normal" cranksaft?
None as far as I know it just looks cool
would you mind uploading the stl files to thingiverse? so i can make one to power a rotating chrismas tree im cobbling together.
i made a water turbine , they are faster but messy , that why u should put walls like my turbines , water turbines are very good and efficient i got one but i scraped it , i really recommand using a turbine goes faster but hard to get slow with it , turbine are more made for speed but they are very reliable too and customising it is very good
I need to start making water engines!!
Thanks for the inspiration! I'm going to make a Lego paddle steamer

Run a water pump off this engine that recycles the water, boom perpetual motion?
Magic! :D
technically a flat V, not a boxer but very nice work, really enjoyed watching it
Very nice job and I was surprised how well it took the Load. 👍🏼
I love what you done so I have subscribed 👍🏼
Awesome, thanks <3
