You've never seen a LEGO build move like this

- There's an obvious parallel between the final iteration of this build, and a previous creation of mine: • A LEGO Slinky of Squar...
They're both helices, but the primary difference is structural. The slinky of squares is much smaller, and fairly fragile--and adding layers to that build didn't particularly help. This build is very solid, and if I were to make the helix with five or six layer coils it would be even sturdier. It's also structurally dynamic. The final helix has a 23 pointed star in each coil, but there's no reason why I couldn't make those coils 22 points, or 8, or anything in between. And the way that energy moves through the build is just crazy--it looks almost alive. My daughter found it quite disgusting, and I can't say that I blame her. There's a reason I've been calling this the sunflower worm. 😂 And I already know how I want to scale this monstrosity up! Future video.

I love how you not only build these things, but that you don't forget that LEGO is a toy and you _play with it_
Don’t necessarily agree, but I’d say that this craziness is just as amazingly awkward as it is satisfying.
u said words
Yea man i was just thinking the same thing
@@RailsofForney You don't agree that toys should be played with? I don't understand
@@chrispysaid
what did the OP even say? 😅
It started out as a cool geometric shape and ended up as a giant pasta noodle
Truer words were never spoken.
Or churos
I kept thinking about half way through either I’m hungry or this thing looks like a giant Ramen brick.
you basically described polymers
forbidden pasta noodle
It's actually fascinating, that something is made up of fairly rigid parts can end up so elastic. It's basically the same for molecules: take some singular molecules that are rigid by themselves (so that you can not force them to change their shape) link them up together in a veeeeeery long line and you get rubber.
Yeah what is this 7th grade chemistry?
Technically, you need a methyl every 4th carbon on your long line, and you get rubber.
It does offer a great way to demonstrate how some molecules behave , of course the Legos would need to be arranged to be at least simular in shape to the original molecules.
Found the science teacher
@@liftingisfun2350 didn’t need to be a dick lol
He doesn’t just add more, he doubles the entire thing. I love that
On the next episode, we get to see him take 2 of these and make a giant ring.
Episode 3 : interlocking rings
Big jiggly donut
@@waterlemon3885 you know what else has a big jiggly donut?
my mom!!11111!!!!!!!111!
And then make a worm out of those rings
I thought sure that was the next step
Once it gets long enough it should be able to loop back on itself and you could create a torus.
He yeah
He yeah torus donut
What's that

I love that he shows the build from the ground up, and shows that it's a lot of the same steps over and over again, which can allow us to follow along if we want without disrespecting the time and effort he put into it.
Well, if anybody ever makes a Lego James Bond movie, they’re gonna have to come see you for the intro view down the gun, because you’ve nailed it.
Absolutely.

So cool, it looks like a Lego slinky. Really neat looking down the middle. I think these qualify as art
Thank you!
@@BrickBending make a ring
@@thegoldengood4725 that is not how your mother taught you that!!
“Dear Brick Bending,
I - along with some others here in the comment section - would highly appreciate it if you would take it into consideration to make a ring. I think this would make for a neat Lego build and I personally think that it would be a fun project for you to work on. Therefore I think it’s a great build for you to make and I do not question your ability to make it. I reason that off of your previous videos where you make incredible builds as well. My personal favourite would be the big green donut which - despite it being very illegal along with almost all your builds - I find fascinating. Just as fascinating as I find your abilities to come up with these Lego ideas and build them. Your channel is awesome and I would definitely appreciate it if you continue making videos, they’re really cool!
Regards,
[name]”
Or at least be a little nicer, for example: “could you try making a ring please” or “would you consider making a ring, that’d be pretty cool!”
Anyway my point is that you could be a lot nicer. It doesn’t hurt just asking instead being so straight and not at all polite. It makes you a lesser liked person resulting in less friends resulting in you dying alone with your dog who doesn’t care about you and will eat you :)
@@BrickBending do what yazuri said
I wanna see it slink down a huge set of stairs. It seems appropriate.
making a spring out of nothing but straight lego pieces very impressive!

@@maxshort6407 do you think I don't know that link??
@@lastchance1036 i mean, its just another video of brick rolling
its not a spring tho
Flexibility out of rigidity is very curious, a simmilar concept can be found in a metal chain...
Interesting thing about rigid structures is that they get more flexible the longer they are. A tube of the toughest steel several thousand kilometers long could be tied in a knot if you wanted without compromising the structure. This illustrates that concept perfectly. I’d love to see him do a ring of this stuff. Or a sphere. Although doing a sphere would probably take several thousand dollars worth of Lego blocks and I can’t even imagine the size required to do so. It’d definitely be one of, if not the largest Lego builds ever made.
Every time I watch one of these, I think it can’t get bigger, than it gets bigger.
9:12 Reminds me of the intro to James Bond movies where 007 walks over through the scope/lens and shoots when he pulls it back and forth slowly like that. Great build!
The gunbarrel sequence lol
Yes, fun fact- it's the barrel of a gun. The spiral you see is the rifling.
The sights and sounds of this one were extra fascinating. I found myself laughing out loud at some of the wiggles. Very relaxing and wonderful shapes! Thank you for sharing!
I love how this teaches kids, not just how to build, but how to immerse in complete mindfulness throughout.
This one actually helps demonstrating how matter in different forms work, if there's enough space in between molecules and they're still bound by their attraction forces, they can be soft and maleable, most like liquids
the ways this thing rolling interacts with the camera's rolling shutter is hypnotic
LEGO madness indeed! That looks like about 11,750 bricks!
(24x3)x2^5 = 2304 by my count.
I found 22points times 4 1x6s and 32 rings (22x4)32=2,816 or 16,896 studs
on god
I'm guessing it's around 3k plates
“To the power of editing, he can replicate anything within seconds!”
This man gave a faceless lego set that he built, characteristics of jello and a personality. Love it!
10:40 i was afraid he would get another huge tube and connect them together to make a giant donut
Stop giving him ideas, he's clearly on the brink of insanity already! 😁
@@mourfette Don't you mean 'brick' of insanity?
@@TennisMens888 crazy, they're all crazy! We're all crazy! Doooomed
Afraid? 🤔
I was hoping for the giant springy yellow donut. 😁
I thought he was going to make a Slinky and walk it down a flight of stairs.
Every time I think it can’t get any cooler, it gets twice as cool
I really appreciate how you take the time to play with your creation and not bother to edit it out. Something I find myself guilty of doing, along with I’m sure many others, reaching various stages of the build.

My LEGOs don’t wiggle wiggle, they roll…
I can always count on you for a great plot-twist! (block-twist?)
Think it’s called blockchain
Zing! : )
So in the beginning when you unfold your first and second rings, you are taking the same pieces connected in the same way and turning them from a thinner, less-dense arc to a wider, more-dense arc. After the circle has been unlinked and you turned it into a spiral over itself, can you still perform that same motion in reverse? i.e. can you stretch the outer part of the spiral to make it longer and thinner without disconnecting anything?
Yes. This could be roughly three times longer by just expanding each coil. It would probably be less flexible, but a different kind of amazing. : )
@@BrickBending that would be amazing to see, especially if were incremental from large diameter to small to large like a Venturi tube or a kind of 3D sine wave.
Great work man!
@@ItsCalilum thanks! Varying the diameter would be really fun : )
@@BrickBending how do you calculate these things?
Honestly, adjusting the diameter is what I thought the finale would be.
At 3:45, he rolls the thing and it just doesn’t look like it spins
It’s the frame rate of the camera
This is one of the MOST SATISFYING videos i have ever seen all the snaps and the sounds it makes when he rolls it are just SO SATISFYING TO ME I LOVE IT
Give ASMR a try if you haven't before.
i find your gloves the best part about this. they’re weirdly satisfying to see, call me crazy (I might be) but they’re just so relaxing I can’t describe it. very nice videos, 20/10 would watch again
i think brick bending might be relaxing end's long lost cousin
the wobble tunnel. amazing. the end would have been perfect if the tunnel endings would have been connected to form a ring.
I was waiting for this!
I too was expecting that as the last step. He teased us when he stretched it into a half-ring.
I agree, but I think I'd need another 2000 1x6 plates to make that happen. Guess I'll have to expand my inventory 😂
@@BrickBending There goes my thought of your lego pieces being duplicated and appearing out of thin air. :(
@@BrickBending oh, i would bet you have them, but maybe not same color ;-)
so THATS why i couldnt find any yellow 1x6 parts
Perfect demonstration of emergent properties. Bravo!
I feel like a true decent into lego madness could be this video with In The Hall of The Mountain King over it. True, madness, at its finest
I would have to agree. : )
I've recently been introduced to the craziness that is watching your videos on 2x speed.
Watching at the intended speed is beautiful and astonishing; Seeing the incredible things you can create and the mastery with which you create them is the absolute epitome of art.
Watching at hyper speed highlights a sense of whimsy and reminds me that, no matter how complex these builds are, they're made from toys after all... And I can laugh at the double-time click-clacks of the pieces being put together like you're a robot in a factory. (Not to mention how hilarious all the ring-style builds look when they're spun at higher speed than normal!)
In all honesty, all it does is make me watch your videos twice. Keep doing what you're doing; You never fail to amaze
I have never tried that! Be right back...
Ok. That was really fun. I'll be double watching all of my videos that way from now on! 😂
What a nice illustration for the concept of emergent properties!
i love how he casually DUPLICATES already complex builds as if with a snap
Fun fact: these videos makes our days better
Yes I agree bit
th-cam.com/video/3JhGSJRRfuM/w-d-xo.html
That makes me happy 😊
@@BrickBending you realise that is a bot stealing a comment
Congratulations on your recent prize with this build. You mentioned making a shorter, more tightly edited video and that is great, but i love this one because of all the joys along the way.
I adore the sights and sounds of this so much, wow! I want one...
ASMR and satisfying videos of my favorite toy? This is amazing.
This video definitely has some ASMR vibes. Watching the final build bending and rolling around was mesmerizing and made me realy sleepy. 😄
If you could partner with a biochemist to see if your lego creation is anything like structures inside living cells (I'm thinking microtubules or centrioles) you'd stand a good chance of winning a Nobel Prize. 💯
This guy must have a key to the LEGO factory to get all the pieces he needs for these builds .
the sound is SO SATISFYING OMG
It astounds me what can be made with legos
th-cam.com/video/3JhGSJRRfuM/w-d-xo.html

This man pushes legos to it’s full limits.
At this point I wouldn't be surprised if someone has made one of those expanding balls every kid has had at one point out of LEGO
Keep doing you bro this is awesome.i learned, find out what your good at and like then your passion will flow into helping people in that field . You're an engineer you can get in to 3D printing .you can do anything
finally a brick bending video that does not cause existential pain.
4:40 oh god no please
I love that lil Lego cavedude features so heavily in this one from the outset, but feel strongly about the liberties that were taken with the constant threats to his life. I imagine there’s a gruesome outtakes video that will surface on the Dark Web… 😱
(Awesome construction btw. Like a huge slinky sunflower.)
NO STOP IT THE FABRIC OF TIME CANT HOLD THIS CRAZINESS
Man's got them Pro-LEGO-Builder Gloves
Me: "He will never go more."
Brick Bending: *goes more*
Me: "He's over 9000!"
edit: thanks so much for the like!!
8:16
pov: you're in a field that is getting harvested
This video was next to saying "Your weakness is the color yellow."
The part where he says it’s Lego time is such a amazing scene which made all Lego fans screaming amazement
I imagine if you coiled the helix (spring shape) more tightly, you could safely bend the ends to meet each other and forth a torus (donut shape)
You might be right. The coils get less flexible the more tight they are, but that might be an interesting experiment--just to see what happens. : )
Or the whole thing could just explode
Amazing yet completely insane! I love it Jeff, the yellow monster coil. A true testament to either your genius or madness😆. Is it almost time for the caveman story yet? I've been waiting patiently for that one 😊.
This is the definition of “Double it and give it to the next person”
I love the "but wait there's more" nature of this build
You are a madman and a genius. I started watching you today and now I can’t stop. Keep up the good work!
"This is madness!"
"THIS. IS! BRICK BENDING!!"

@@maxshort6407 you can't rick roll me
The play with lighting in the end was awesome.
Maybe also add a time lapse of how you clean up your build (if you do so), e.g. how you deconstruct this all.
Its the videos like these that make micro science make more sense to me as it can represent how tiny stuff works, thank you!
Awesome. I was hoping he would send it down the stairs like a slinky though 🙂
I just don’t know why I can’t stop watching. It’s stupid and genius at the same time. Keep it up!
This is some relaxation to the next level sort of thing!
The fact that he spent so much time on this is unreal
And for the work you put into this channel, you deserve way more subs
Edit :😁
Cheers : )
Those twist releases at the end were really cool. I wonder if it would work as a slinky or just snap?
It probably needs to be longer for that
I can describe only describe this as serotonin, better than any anti depressant
Simple yet very rewarding and fun to watch.
9:40 *a’ight guys I gotta go*
Can you lock the spirals with a 1x1 plate?
Can you lock the twist?
What if each twist is more tight than the previous, making a conic curve?
And, of course, the extreme…can it become a torus?
A torus is doable, but it would take another few thousand 1x6 plates. I could lock the coils with 1x1 plates but not with 23 points. It would probably be more like 16, but that would still be a cool shape, and even sturdier. And shrinking each coil is a really interesting idea!
The sounds when he span it we’re so satisfying
I was articulating Legos like this when I was less than a decade old. That was over thirty five years ago. Thanks for the memories
If you doubled the length of the last one you could probably wrap it all the way around to connect it to itself again
Idea: make another one so you can loop it back on itself and make a big doughnut.
this guy is the master of "heres one I prepared earlier"
The urge to roll "round" objects cannot be resisted
oh that’s an impressive build I wonder how long it t- *pulls out another*

@@elizabethsharp9556 the symbol in itself is fine, it's just that it is a yellow star (I admit it has too many points) and it goes back to bad times. Maybe I am exposed to too much red hearing and codes nowadays
Love your videos as they test my attention span to its limits.
Genius experiment and build with LEGO. You have created an advanced LEGO slinky. You sure find the most interesting ways to turn LEGO into art and technology.
Roblox spawn?
I wonder if the "giggleliness" of that Lego shape informe us on the molecular structure of gigglely things ? That would be awesome!
The building and scaling is half the fun of the video. Great editing increases the watchability, no doubt.
Let’s just say that his builds are oddly satisfying
This is asmr taken to a whole new level: Lego
Reminds me of a sprocket, the main driving wheel with a lot of teeth that you'll find most commonly on tanks and other vehicles with the "caterpillar" track belts
The sound of lego under stress gives me major anxiety for some reason
This thing barrelling towards you was genuinely kinda terrifying tbh
Me: calls Lego store
"Hi, I'd like to buy a couple thousand Legos."
"Well sure, we have many sets that have a few thousands."
"No. I want 3000 6x1 plates, all yellow. "
"Oh, ok sure let me just place the order then..."
It's like a giant noodle or a corn on the cob...turned slinky 😂 You looked like you were having fun, which made this fun to watch.
A wise man once said:
-'I like to move it move it'

“Genius Lego Engineer”. Put that in the resume
when you want to play with a slinky but all you have is legos
This video helped me understand how a circle is made up of infinite triangles, more than any math teacher ever has.
Legend has it he is still doubleling the legos till this day.
