See my latest experiments and behind-the-scenes footage!
Can we use eggs to time eggs? In this video, we use Lego to build a totally oversized machine to test this ridiculous concept.
This lego technic machine works sort of like a clock. An escapement mechanism only permits very slow rotation of the gears, creating a ‘tick-tock’ motion and sound. The sound itself is quite satisfying. Powering this mechanism is a belt that’s connected to a basket of eggs. This provides rotational energy via gravity as the eggs pull on the gears. If we set it up juuuust right, we can time the contraption to measure 6 minutes: egg-sactly what we need for a nice boiled egg. Unfortunately, for this machine, that means we need a lot of heigh. And now it takes up half my kitchen!
“But what if I want a hard-boiled egg??”, you say. “And what if I don’t want it to take up my entire kitchen?” Well I’ve got you covered. I also built a smaller version that can time up to 20 minutes on a single charge, allowing us to time anything up to 20 mins!
If you’d like to see more behind the scenes while I build these contraptions, and help me work on them, you can join my channel membership available under the video. I appreciate all the support everyone has given on this channel so far!

“If it ain’t broke, break it and make it your own” 😂
Haha love it, that's a great motto 😂
While the first timer has a very inefficient escapement, I don't think I've ever seen a 2 tooth escape wheel before, so that's pretty impressive.
You're right, it's horribly inefficient! But that sort of adds to how absurd the whole thing is 😂
This timer is egg-celent
Crackin compliment, cheers :D
this is stupid in the best way possible. Well done. You earned a subscriber
Aw that's the best kind of compliment 🙏😄 I live and love to make stupid things. Thanks for joining!
For Easter I made a Lego car to get an egg around a track
That's awesome! But why did the egg cross the track?
@@JamiesBrickJams That sounds like a setup to a joke...
Now make an egg generator so you can cook the egg with eggs
More weight on the pendulum would have slowed down the mechanism without need of all that hight!
True, I actually managed to get a further 1:3 gear ratio in there with more weight, but the eggs just weren't heavy enough to run it. And I really wanted it to run on eggs!
the fact that you used an egg timer to prop up a stopwatch on your phone lol
😅 Shhhhhh
Well... I will try it my self with my eggs
Awesome, hope you do!
This vid was crackingly awesome =3
I love the content man. Keep it up and you’ll make it big for sure
Appreciate it, thanks a lot 😊
lmfao thats sick
Aw cheers 😁🙏
now you're thinking with eggs
😁
I give a try will with my eggs 😄 Great vidieo👍
Thanks 😁🙏 And good luck for yours!
Thanks 😄👍
Hmm. Weirdly useful if you eat soft boiled eggs for some reason. Personally I boil eggs for exactly 1 reason. Deviled eggs, and the hard setting on the second mechanism is still a little light for that. Plus the lack of audio indicators on the second mechanism is annoying. I wish to see this idea fulfilled as a third mechanism that flips over the signs onto piano keys or something.
Flipping over piano keys is a fantastic idea, thanks for the suggestion! I'll certainly give that a go. Maybe even a pneumatic whistle or something
Some sort of generator might be fun. Charge a phone with lego, maybe?
Love where your mind is at - I've got a gravity powered generator in concept right now!
that a fun thing, the small one is definitely better but less fun, lol
Haha yeah practical is rarely entertaining 😜 Much prefer stupid and pointless!
i love hard boiled eggs
soft is kinda gross
u didnt soak the eggs in cold water when done
v.
oh wow i thought my youtube had broken
True .. like I said - I ain't no chef!
@@tedgd2137 idk i was procrastinating
Is it made out of L"EGG"OS
😂 Damn, missed opportunity
