LEGO is serious about quality, it's an expensive toy because they do all they can to make it as strong, durable and precise as they can possibly achieve.
Here's part of the reason why there are age limits on Lego sets, you could crush someone's [insert body part here] with this. (or rather, _don't_ insert any body parts)

We are only a year away from this guy joyriding down the street at 90km/h in a Lego tank that shoots ball-bearings so fast, that the shock waves cause windows within 20m of the blast to shatter.
lego builds are really something special . the more complex the build is the better it performs but overcomplicated builds tend to not work at all. so , builders are challenged with making a simple yet successful build.
You could use more material and adress the materials elasticity. I think he made two mistakes: 1. He put gear racks in a row, but since the abs is very elastic, the lowest gear got the highest load and broke. He could have solved it either by using more parallel racks (instead of in-line) or by pretensioning. (difficult with lego) 2. He used the least suited gears on the racks, since they 8 teeth gears' teeth are the weakest on the base and, through the low radius, the gear regularily has onle one contact point. Bigger gears have multiple conract points. I assume the best choice would have been to use multiple parallel racks with worm gears.

A walnut no problem I guess... but for a can I dont think this press would do. I mean I can easily stand on a can without crushing it. (I'm around 60kg) The weight distribution on this press would be far more stable than when I myself try to balance on the can with one foot and shoes on
HellBound well when I want to squeeze them flat I carefully place my foot to get it as round as possible... and yes they dont squeeze when I slowly step onto one. I have to jump lightly.....
EinfachBlau Yes I know... they are easy to crush... but only when you press them unbalanced or on a weakpoint. A vertical standing can that gets 60kg pressure evenly distributed on the top aluminum ring, while standing on a flat surface where the botompressure also gets distributed evenly, wouldn't break I bet. There is no real weakpoint from top to botom compared to squeezing the sides together or such... And in a press it should always be given that both sides are perfectly flat and thus distribute all their pressure as even as possible. Perfect scenario for a can to not break... as I said the walnut would probably break eventho a wallnutshell is way harder than brass... it's because it's round. all weight goes from the press over one tiny spot into the walnut. thats 60kg on a qubic millimeter. a can would have like a 20 times as big surfacearea on the folded aluminumring for withstanding weight
Sebbe kartellen real hydrologic presses also use steal, are much bigger and also use hydrologic and not electricity as this guy use. No air that is being pressed together
Agree 100%. It looks like too much torque for those little teeth at that stage. More teeth, more gradual tooth engagement, and more torque multiplication seems to be -the- an answer. Please try it!
@@KITMIT but the problem is the 8 toother breaks under the load, so worm gears while being less efficient might not break under the load allowing him to get to higher pressures
The reason why your pressing force peaked and is slowly backing down is because of the mass/friction of all those gears and axles. All the friction and mass is straining your motors making the press harder to turn so your pressure is decaying. You'd have to go back to the more simple press designs to get any higher BUT like you found out the gears are too weak for heavy lifting/pressing so you need to find the happy medium, that's where you'll get the most amount of pressing pressure. My guess is around 90kg, you can get more pressure with a medium-level build design but the gears won't like it as much, you're awfully close! VERY COOL STUFF!!
Or just pop two XL motors in, much more torque while slower speed (which is not an issue for a press anyway). You'd need two separate battery boxes though to supply enough current...
Add new motors, but transfer the power of these motors to the pressing surface's top not the adjacent teeth. And you may need to thicken the side frame
Thanks for sharing! I enjoyed the video. From working in machine shops my whole life, I can tell you that no real (full-scale) presses use direct-drive electric linear actuators (which is basically what you've made to drive your ram). The most efficient way to drive a press via direct-drive electric motor is through a heavy flywheel attached to a camshaft via clutch. When you engage the press the clutch will engage flywheel to the camshaft for one (or a predetermined) number of strokes and then disengage. The rotational energy stored in the flywheel acts as an inertial capacitor, storing a large intermittent burst of potential energy that is recharged by a small but constant amount of kinetic energy. It's how mechanical punch presses have worked for over one hundred years. Hydraulic presses (or the linear-electric-drive press that you've created, which don't really exist in the industrial sector) are beneficial because your stroke can go up and down. To put it another way, the press operator has far more control over the stroke than a mechanical press. Also, hydraulic presses typically give you greater stroke for a given tonnage. They are also slower, which gives you a better product with less waste due to blow out. Complex or poorly made dies or especially long strokes can hold air pockets in the material which explosively release through the material if the stroke is too fast, destroying the product in the process. Having a hydraulic press means the operator can go as slow as they want, back off, and reapply pressure once air pockets have dissipated. Mechanical presses only go one way, and older ones typically can't disengage their clutch mid-stroke. So once you hit the buttons you're committed to the stroke and you better stay out of the way! In the USA, fortunately, those have been all-but outlawed by OSHA. So again, thanks for sharing! While this isn't a true hydraulic press I get where you were going with it. I think you should try making a mechanical "punch" press next. One with a heavy flywheel spun at high RPM by a small(ish) motor. Then use this energy to drive a camshaft attached to your ram. This will give you greater power and a faster stroke, but also a shorter stroke with less granular control. It seems contrary to common sense to try to *crush something with horsepower instead of torque, but believe it or not that's the most efficient way to do it. It allows you to amplify the size of your motor and *crush things you wouldn't ever be able to with the same motor by itself.
Hey, thanks a lot. The punch press idea is great. It actually may be the best way to generate high crushing power with Lego. Have to figure out the clutch mechanism and how to add enough weight to the flywheel, but otherwise it looks promising.
I did the same but in reverse recently, realising a 300 pound crossbow was a draw weight almost double my own when i converted to kgs. Like... you could shoot ME out of that monster
Anastasia Kurva the highest number it reaches is 70kg or so. One kg is 2.2 pounds. Therefore, its output is 154lbs because that's the value of 70*2.2. Double checking your math is always good
You achieved 154 lbs!.. With LEGO! That's insane! Definitely enough to cause some serious injury to one's fingers. That's a job well done. Love following your journey of upgrading over time.
I was watching this, and thinking things like “oh, he’s almost to 100 pounds just with lego!” But then I realized he was measuring in kilograms..... I suddenly became infinitely more impressed as he had almost gotten to 200 pounds, just with LEGO :0
You could try to lube it with graphite (oil or powder) for more force, works well for me in nearly every Lego technic pack, especially on chains and gears
I was thinking about lubrication. I don't think it would affect that much, other than when a higher gear ratio stopped earlier than a lower. I guess one of the limiting factors is the latteral forces, which causes the gears to disengage. Maybe "binding" the frame would help.
why not have worm gears in contact transferring the power to the press? that allows for an infinitely higher point of contact with the teeth @Brick experiment channel
@@clay9596 Looks like Lego does not have the correct racks for a worm drive, just the normal racks designed for pinions, which do mesh with the worms to some extent.

The reason why your pressing force peaked and is slowly backing down is because of the mass/friction of all those gears and axles. All the friction and mass is straining your motors making the press harder to turn so your pressure is decaying. You'd have to go back to the more simple press designs to get any higher BUT like you found out the gears are too weak for heavy lifting/pressing so you need to find the happy medium, that's where you'll get the most amount of pressing pressure.

How about using pulleys to move the "piston" instead of gearing?
Totally
Or just pop two XL motors in, much more torque while slower speed (which is not an issue for a press anyway). You'd need two separate battery boxes though to supply enough current...
Using a crankshaft, connecting rod and piston would allow for a massive torque multiplication the closer it gets to bottom dead centre.
What i'm supposed to learn: how to make a press
What i learn: MORE GEARS EQUALS MORE POWER
yea pretty much, at the expense of time
Until the moment the resistance of all the gears will give you a lower output/outcome at the end......
Torque, more gears equal more torque. Power should stay the same regardless of ratio.

Add new motors, but transfer the power of these motors to the pressing surface's top not the adjacent teeth. And you may need to thicken the side frame
Thanks for sharing! I enjoyed the video. From working in machine shops my whole life, I can tell you that no real (full-scale) presses use direct-drive electric linear actuators (which is basically what you've made to drive your ram). The most efficient way to drive a press via direct-drive electric motor is through a heavy flywheel attached to a camshaft via clutch. When you engage the press the clutch will engage flywheel to the camshaft for one (or a predetermined) number of strokes and then disengage. The rotational energy stored in the flywheel acts as an inertial capacitor, storing a large intermittent burst of potential energy that is recharged by a small but constant amount of kinetic energy. It's how mechanical punch presses have worked for over one hundred years.
Hydraulic presses (or the linear-electric-drive press that you've created, which don't really exist in the industrial sector) are beneficial because your stroke can go up and down. To put it another way, the press operator has far more control over the stroke than a mechanical press. Also, hydraulic presses typically give you greater stroke for a given tonnage. They are also slower, which gives you a better product with less waste due to blow out. Complex or poorly made dies or especially long strokes can hold air pockets in the material which explosively release through the material if the stroke is too fast, destroying the product in the process. Having a hydraulic press means the operator can go as slow as they want, back off, and reapply pressure once air pockets have dissipated. Mechanical presses only go one way, and older ones typically can't disengage their clutch mid-stroke. So once you hit the buttons you're committed to the stroke and you better stay out of the way! In the USA, fortunately, those have been all-but outlawed by OSHA.
So again, thanks for sharing! While this isn't a true hydraulic press I get where you were going with it. I think you should try making a mechanical "punch" press next. One with a heavy flywheel spun at high RPM by a small(ish) motor. Then use this energy to drive a camshaft attached to your ram. This will give you greater power and a faster stroke, but also a shorter stroke with less granular control. It seems contrary to common sense to try to *crush something with horsepower instead of torque, but believe it or not that's the most efficient way to do it. It allows you to amplify the size of your motor and *crush things you wouldn't ever be able to with the same motor by itself.
Hey, thanks a lot. The punch press idea is great. It actually may be the best way to generate high crushing power with Lego. Have to figure out the clutch mechanism and how to add enough weight to the flywheel, but otherwise it looks promising.

The fact this thing can put out 70kg of force is actually scary

I did the same but in reverse recently, realising a 300 pound crossbow was a draw weight almost double my own when i converted to kgs. Like... you could shoot ME out of that monster
70 kg is more than my weight xD

Me: a Lego press couldn't be that strong
4:30 secs in: Nani? 150 pounds?
Anastasia Kurva the highest number it reaches is 70kg or so. One kg is 2.2 pounds. Therefore, its output is 154lbs because that's the value of 70*2.2. Double checking your math is always good
@@airbornewarningandcontrols39698 kg not lb, lb are trashy usa
This is a perfect example of explaining an efficient visual between torque to gear ratio in the housing of any mechanical device. Very cool.

It can press 20kgs more than my body weight.

Distributing the force by multiplying the number of motors could make it reach 100kg 💪
You achieved 154 lbs!.. With LEGO! That's insane! Definitely enough to cause some serious injury to one's fingers. That's a job well done. Love following your journey of upgrading over time.
Fun fact: you only need 25 pounds of force to fracture a finger bone

The sound when he builds is so satisfying
I was watching this, and thinking things like “oh, he’s almost to 100 pounds just with lego!” But then I realized he was measuring in kilograms..... I suddenly became infinitely more impressed as he had almost gotten to 200 pounds, just with LEGO :0
Jathrizzle insane
2.204623 times more impressed, if the impressiveness ratio was linear.
You could try to lube it with graphite (oil or powder) for more force, works well for me in nearly every Lego technic pack, especially on chains and gears
I was thinking about lubrication. I don't think it would affect that much, other than when a higher gear ratio stopped earlier than a lower. I guess one of the limiting factors is the latteral forces, which causes the gears to disengage. Maybe "binding" the frame would help.
Me: I need to get some sleep.
Also me: *watching Lego press at 3 am.*
3:32am for me as of right now (although it’s so bright outside that you’d think it’s 7-7:30am)
1:30 and im tired as hell for nr
Martin Eriksson lol same here
SAME
Little Potato I’m watching at 2:48am
It’d drive me nuts having to disassemble and reassemble something like this so many times.
why not have worm gears in contact transferring the power to the press? that allows for an infinitely higher point of contact with the teeth @Brick experiment channel
Just thinking the same
Worm gears would require a rack with a concave helical tooth form, does this even exist for lego?
SkyWizardless yes. Yes it does
@@clay9596 Looks like Lego does not have the correct racks for a worm drive, just the normal racks designed for pinions, which do mesh with the worms to some extent.

Makes the legos "more flexible" maybe.
