- Better tires
Ah yes, my favorite fuel
fissile fuel
@Lazys The Dank Engineer In a nuclear reactor, more heat isnt always the best output. A reactor’s heat output is perfectly tuned to put out enough heat to turn the turbines just enough to maximize their output, while staying within a safe operating threshold.
@@godzillaridergamer7595 and better tires maximize grip
I love that no one is focusing in the better tires
Are we still capped with turbines? There's truly no other way to convert heat to electrical without going through mechanical?

This video truly shows off that efficiency is measured not only in how fast it does the thing you want it to do, but also in how many fewer improvements it needs compared to previous machines used to accomplish the same task
Problems that better tires can solve:
-Little or no grip
-Crappy pole climbing performance
-Unstable relationship
and more...

He is the LEGO equivalent of Mark Rober.
@@RileyBanksWho lmaooooo
@LEANBOX Nah, I just think this might be the first time he used actual physics equations to explain how he improves on his design.
that final, more robust design for the circulating climber is absolutely incredible wow... looks like a model of some insanely complicated machine youd see in a scifi movie or like in a particle accelerator or a space station or smth hahah
I believe the last rotary design can be improved by placing some other weights opposite to the battery or use multiple batteries evenly distributed, to "centralise?" the centre of mass so that the centrifugal force doesn't pull the battery and start the wobble.
Or with better tires
My takeaway from this is:
In case of machine rebellion, hide up on some tree with all the good tires you can carry
Sounds awfully.... Vietnamese of you
That was good laugh my friend
How many tires can you carry??? 🔥🔥🔥

I *love* how freaky and outright ALIEN the third climber's final form looks @7:46
It almost looks like oddly symmetrical broken junk but its SO EFFICIENT
I feel like the most efficient design would incorporate features from design 2 and 3. The 3 tension-braced pieces seemed to work really well with the bumps of the tree, but the spinning seemed to cause structural issues. So using wheels that go straight up instead of rotating, like in the first and second designs, could improve energy efficiency and also structural stability.
What I like about the third design is that it is not necessarily locked within a maximum pole diameter, landing it well to getting over humps and obstacles. But the rotation seemed to only cause problems.

The best thing about this channel are the incremental improvements. Gives you the impression that anything is possible if you take one step at a time, and that failure is simply part of the process.
Very true, a good example is space projects.
That's how to think of it! You didn't fail, you simply discovered an ineffective method. You'll improve that and do even better next time. :)
In the words of Zenyatta; "Failure is acceptable, giving up is not"
7:07 it sounds like your drink is done
That last model was cool man.
I believe it could be more affective with thicker tires having a high level of elasticity.
If this guy was a Physics teacher, I would learn everything he teaches. Imagine the class projects being these Lego projects. Such a fun way to learn
Also imagine ending physics class with "So the lesson of today is:" real life pole/tree climbing is difficult"
now THAT would be great
Yeah. Too bad most teachers want us to be as miserable as they are
Yes
@@user-re2xx1wl1j он пишет про то что зочет уроки физики от пвтора видео
This channel never fails to amaze me. It's incredible how the simplest tools - plastic, a toy motor and rubber bands (and better tires) - can achieve basically anything by applying knowledge of engineering.
I agree
basically anything? could you smelt metal with lego? what about grow food? Could you make a car that goes 50 kph?
@@superhenkable I mean... Yes. You'd need a few extra things e.g. the food seeds and water and dirt, but you COULD make a machine to keep a plant alive.
Also Lego cars have already surpassed 50kph.
Smelting metal is a bit outside the capabilities of plastic, so I'd say put all the heat related stuff in the exceptions part.
@@jblen wonder why we even bother building anything else then, if you can just use lego for everything would be very convenient
@@superhenkable you're missing the point. But anyway it wouldn't be convenient at all.
Today, pole-climbing lego robots.
Tomorrow, pole-dancing lego robots.
Also, a third way to deal with centrifugal force on the third design would be to balance the weight more. It wouldn't necessarily make the forces any less (in fact, since the only way I can think to balance the weight would be to ADD more weight to the other segments, it would probably INCREASE the force), but it would make the forces equal in all directions, which might help with the frame strength issues, since it would spread the load.
What fascinates me is that I'm sure he could already go for an already great prototype but he goes step by step to show why earlier steps in the making wouldn't work
When the third one starts spinning, you could have put interstellar music and it'd be hilarious
Music? What's that? :)

How much I used to play with LEGO, and how much I liked them, especially when the Techincs came out! I'm 42 years old now, but you don't know how much I am inviting you !! Greetings from Italy
I was already impressed… but the circular design is what convinced me this man is going to get to space with Lego

@@gromaxe nah just really good tires
Love this channel. No annoying intro, just straight to interesting content.
Such rigorous engineering, impressive physics knowledge, and evident video production quality and skills. You, my friend, have this down. I'm impressed.
It's interesting that what seems like a convoluted design on the "perfect" pole works much better than others on the more natural imperfect pole.
teacher: "in today's physics class we will calculate the forces for a Lego contraption to climb a flag pole"
student: "This has no real world application what so ever".
Teacher: "hold my beer"
“Real world application? You ever heard of ‘content strategy’?”
That first zoom in on the minifig put a huge smile on my face. Thanks for that :)
That last clip looked like a bunch of squirrels chasing each other... Lego squirrels
That Lego man on top of the flag pole deserves some sun glasses.
Crazy to think that none of these cool contraptions would've existed if Sir Isaac Newton never invented gravity

That circulating climber reminds me of something you'd have to deal with in an action RPG.

Because whatever Ghost Protocol style mission you’re planning with these robots probably won’t have ideal conditions.
I look forward to the day when I see on the news “Mysterious individual stole both KFCs secret recipe and Coca Colas secret recipe and swapped their vaults. Motives are as of yet unclear, but the suspect used some sort of Lego robot army to accompany this very bizarre and nearly impossible goal. Tune in at 7 for the whole story, involving subnautical missions, pole climbing robots and little cars that could traverse any obstacle. You’re not going to want to miss this one.”

Very nice engineering, I enjoyed all the improvements that you did, I can't wait to do things like this.
Why would anyone dislike this. They got what they got: 3 climbing bois
2:37 that minifigure staring down at us like u mortals
When I was younger 'around the turn of the century' I used to subscribe to the 'Lego catalogue' and always found the 'Technic sets' as more intimidatingly complicated compared to my fondness of following the theme sets w/the 'click and lock' nature of the typical pegged blocks; there was only one instance where we were using 'Technic' pieces for some kind of lesson in a g.4 class.
I appreciate videos like this as 'the kind of ASMR' I appreciate in terms of what I hearing and the meaningfulness of what I'm looking at even if I wasn't say intimidated to the cost barrier to Lego Technic and being knowledgeable at using them on a consistent basis; methinks a fair amount of hands on science lessons on 'simple machines' can be effectively done w/them. The sensation of doing so is a valuable experience.
First design is my favorite because the method for increasing grip was not initially intuitive but works very well and simple. 3rd one is just fancy and cool.
I had been thinking about a pole climber for some time for the exact reason of sending up a camera to do time lapses. The only thing that put me off is leaving something stuck up a pole or lamp post these days would probably end up with the police or the bomb squad turning up! Never thought of using lego though :-D This is brilliant.
Next episode:

"Making a Lego ICBM"
My heart keeps pounding on the 3rd pole climber test, I really thought with the climber rotating that fast, something would be thrown off, but then I look at the corner of the screen it was sped up 10 times... XD
the third design is so creative though, i never would have thought about it
I thought legos would never turn to this life, I can’t believe this…

On the last one you could maybe use the centrifugal force to your advantage:
If you put a rope all around your vehicle and put a weight at the end (maybe put the weight in kind of a sled for control and on each of the 3 segments one of these mechanisms for balance). When the centrifugal force gets bigger the weight gets pushed outwards, pulls on the rope and tightens your robot even hatder against the pole.
Disadvantage: only works once robot is spinning fast, no effect on not moving robot. For speeding up from a stand still you still need the rubber bands
There's no such thing as centrifugal force.
@@oksuree i know. Centrifugal force is a myth ... in fact there is only centripetal force and the "centrifugal force" is nothing else than a pseudo-force resulting from Newtons 1st Law in conjunction with the centripetal force ... but if i would have written it this explanation instead of the term "centrifugal force" my post would have been even longer ... and face it: everyone understands the term "centrifugal force" ...
-first robot "this guy run out of ideas, boring, nothing new"
-second robot "hmmm cool design with rubbers"
-third robot "centrifugal force goes brrrrrr, best channel ever!!!"
I learn that better tires improves everything, thank you
This machine is like messing with the strings more than climbing up the pole
