- So glad to finally have this done!
I have been working on this creation on and off for over 2 years now! I went from knowing next to nothing about LEGO technic to being a full on technic builder!

LEGO is just like Minecraft, except in real life! Before you ask, no, this LEGO creation is not built anymore. I like to reuse and recycle all of my models so I destroy them usually about 24 HOURS after I post a video. - บันเทิง
Fantastic work with this one. Definitely brings a smile to my face!
Thanks Jason! Feels good to have approval from the man himself!
@@GrantDavis Positive comment from JK regarding lego construction it is like wining a Nobel price in real life.
P.S. And it is true. It is awesome!!
Yoooo

@@LucLoLCreations I removed @Helmut's comment.
If only they made quieter motors. The sound ruins the tranquility of this stunning piece. Really incredible work!
maybe if they had a sound box that made ocean sounds to cover it up
If you pretend the sound of the motor mimics the sounds of waves hitting the shore, then it fits it pretty well.
He should make it mechanically powered
Could be built with multiple pneumatic pistons perhaps. Would still make noise but it wouldn't be as abrasive.
Maybe get a longer connecting rod and put the motor far away.
Imagine an entire Lego city with these surrounding it, just tons of parts making it feel so much more alive
whirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
It'll be very noisly lol
Ye
You need to convince lego to make a set like this, I'd totally buy it!
Yea for 400$ maybe
@@DeinVatersVater that's a normal price for a lego set this size, without the motors
@@DeinVatersVater You forgot one zero
@@daveslamjam I bought a set that costed 200$ and it was bigger so this would cost less
This looks incredible! Especially in the lighthouse scene, it looks like you took a chunk out of the ocean!

Hey noticed you haven't gotten a reply. It's nice to see you here.
ayo its mr coolz

One of the coolest things I've seen in a long time… all the form, function, and fun combined!
@NinjaSkyborg well he would have to do it manually since the wave need to also be aligned with each frame of the minifig's movement

The relaxing sounds of the ocean WHIIIIIIRL
But seriously that water looks really nice. I never thought of using nets to simulate a liquid.
This is genius, thank you for making this come to life
Thanks!
Absolutely amazing build. I just wish they would,make the motors a lil more quiet.
They should definitely start using brushless motors, they are much quieter than other motors.
The gear makes more noise I guess
Have you tried earplugs?
@@ForzaMonkey those aren’t brushless motors? In current year?
You can imagine those as sounds from the sea
The creativity and thoughtful engineering that went into this build is simply amazing.
Would like to see it with all 3 mechanisms being slightly shifted in phase - that would give more realistic results I think.
I was thinking the same! maybe less of the in/out in favor of a more exaggerated wave, then having the gearing be slightly different ratio for each module. I don't know probably pretty Hard to ensure reliably smooth operation though.
All he had to do was offset the starting position on all three rollers. Waves usually starts in the middle or at one end of a wavefront
And I think for a more natural movement the water on the sand should wait for the wave to reach the beach before moving up the beach. As far as I see, these are two independent mechanisms, so it should be possible to adjust it that way.
I thought the same but think the mesh/lego combo may not slide nicely against another and could get bound up?
Hah thank you, it has been bothering me the whole video!
Ahhh love the sound of mechanical waves.
Truely one of the crziest minds in the Lego building world
Alright Grant this is amazing
Incredible! The creativity, ingenuity and craftsmanship are out of this world! This deserves way more views and attention
I mean, it is about to cross a million views, so I am pretty happy with how it is doing. Thank you though!
That is nuts to come up with this contraption from your mind. It's incredible and soooo satisfying to watch it work...
Welp, that’s genius.
Awesome! Next level of water building 😅
You should make a 1 hour video with this just repeating over and over (muted) with chill beats playing in the background. It’s very calming to watch
*Edit 10 seconds later after posting this comment* oh he already did but with Ocean sounds. Nice!
Lol nice.
It was an honor to see this in person and meet the creator at Bricks Cascade 2022!
Grant, I've been following you on Flickr for over 7 years and every time you create something - it completely blows my mind and makes me happy. Your wave machine is simply clever and the whole MOC is just amazing, it made me smile. Keep bricking!
Best wishes,
Ilya T.
Impressive!! 😱
This is one of the reasons why Lego is one of the best things ever made. The possibilities are endless. If Lego is too expensive for you, there's countless off-brands that can be much cheaper for pretty much equal enjoyment in most cases.
Awesome build man. LEGO & Masterbuilders like yourself continue to amaze me.
This video deserves 10mil views AT LEAST!!
It's getting there! If only slowly!
This was pretty awesome. Was so fascinated with the 2 major motions that failed to notice the lighthouse light!
Have recently done a ocean-like scene with moving waves (pales in comparison to yours!) but also used the Spike Prime module to add sound like ocean waves and seagulls (in addition to motion controls) to muffle out the sound of the LEGO motors :)
Amazing, wish it could be a set to buy, even in much smaller scale.
Things like this is what Lego should produce and sell for adults.
Never would have thought that Lego could be used for something like this, that is awesome!
Very clever
I LOVE the detail of the wet sand being darker to match the shape of the wave!
i love how simple the mechanics of this for a truly beautiful effect. it reminds me of the practical effects that get used on disney park rides.
This is incredible!!! The whole engineering behind the mechanism is simple but really nice!! Also, the beach section with the lighthouse is so beautiful. I can totally see this as a Lego set!! Good Job!!
That wave movement is mesmerizing!
We need more people like this in the world ❤
Lego has come so far. We couldn’t build things like this when I was a kid.
This is the coolest LEGO mechanism I’ve seen in a long time. Amazing build dude
Exactly my words!
This is fantastic! Very inspiring to bring more movement to MOCs!
This is so whimsical. I'd love to sit on that beach and watch the waves
The absolute mad lad did it again.
Incredible mechanism! Great camera work. This is wonderful
How did you get the periods perfectly in sync between the wave and the tide? Is there a direct connection on the drive train, or did you do some crazy gear ratio math to pull that off? This is endlessly fascinating and greatly inspiring!
I have a video coming out soon that will talk through all this!
@@GrantDavis You're a hero of the LEGO community
The tide is little bitt to slow in my opinion, it should be faster and it would be perfec👌🏻
Did you think about having the tide receding while the wave is approaching? That way I think the wave would seem to spill onto the sand with the rising tide. Maybe I‘m wrong… this is a wonderful diaroma anyway! thanks a lot
@@borisp9163 Did you seriously just find a reason to complain about this awesome build? Would ANYTHING ever make you truly satisfied in life? I mean really mate, come on now!
This one of the coolest Lego builds I've seen! I love the small details like the foam on the water, how the wave pushes the branches up and down, the dark portion of the sand where the waves touch the shore, and of course, the dog riding the surfboard all the way to shore. Fantastic!
The dog on the surfboard stole the show, it is a whole vibe that we aim to be. And this is a phenomenal creation, well done
Amazing
This is such a fun and interesting design! Truly fantastic!
this is the most creative thing I've ever seen made with lego. 10/10
It's vary impressive to see both, technical and artistic talent put into this build. Very nice.
This is truly amazing, and endlessly mesmerizing! Can't wait to see the full video compilation!!
I’ve seen a lot of LEGO stuff and this is one of the best motion pieces I’ve ever seen. Awesome job!!
Absolutely beautiful, it's comforting!
love the surf surfs but the rowboat skips.
great build and vid.
This is crazy cool. I would never be able to figure out the technic mechanics to get it to flow like that, great job. The build itself is super cool too, I love how clean the transition on the side is from rock to dirt and sand.
Thanks, that is one of my favorite parts too! No reason we can't have a well built model aside from the function itself!
@@GrantDavis absolutely amazing!
Amazing. But shouldn't the water retreat most when the wave hits is closest to the shore? I think a little shift in the synchronization between wave and tide would make it ever more organic.
Definitely.
Yes
theoretically, you could attach the wave generator to any point on the drive chain to accomplish that. You could even have each of the individual sections of wave generators on different positions to have a slightly asyncronous wave.
My thoughts exactly! 🌊
Yes, and the next wave should be popping up while the first wave is still retreating. Shifting the timing just a little bit would make a huge difference.
I love the mechanical works of this. Simple but cleaver
by far the best lego wave machine ever! wish i had those net pieces to build this amazing thing
Super cheap on BrickLink.com
Great idea with that wave 😍
That’s awesome. Good job 👍🏻
This thing is amazing and the music makes its so much more better. Something really comforting about this
brilliantly done! i love the mechanisms under the wave!
Such an awesome build, the function works perfectly after so much work spent iterating. Really love this video, seeing it get built up was really cool.
Thank you for this! I was so stunned to saw it last week on reddit and finally I know how you build that. Amazing work
I like how no one's talking about how chill the wave is
The guy surfing was super cool and it actually worked really well
So cool, thanks for taking the time share the behind the scenes!
I attempted a similar concept (motorized lighthouse by water) a while back but this makes me want to take it back to the drawing board haha. Really clever mechanisms you've come up with here!
Looks insane man , great job on the mechanism and the build looks very cool also !
If there were a nobel prize for lego builds, this would win it
This should be a world record forsure
This is so cool!! I love the design and the working wave is absolutely wonderful!! 😀
Hey I remember seeing this at bricks cascade. This is a pretty impresses build, i love the details and how everything works.
Fall asleep to the relaxing sounds of lego waves.
The moment I saw the light in the lighthouse turning, it was impossible to NOT like this video. Really great build and attention to detail!
Thank you sir!
Grant this is wild!!!! What an awesome job!
Absolutely genius. And I can only second the no.1 comment here: you made me smile genuinly. It's moments like these that make me forget my troubles and relax.
INCREDIBLY COOL!
This has been one of those "Oh I'll watch it another day" videos and weeks and weeks later, today I gave in ~ it's 0430BST and who needs boring old sleep? ~ I'm so very very pleased that I did. There's so much more to see than you catch from the initial snippet. Ingenuity and then some in the mechanism.
Artistry and then some in the decoration.
Bravo, bravo.
It’s pretty good. It reminds me of the little moving dioramas that are in the LEGO Star Wars the Skywalker saga.
What a fantastic build!!! Every detail and mechanism are so well thought! 👏🏼
Lovely video too, it has a jk brickworks vibe
Simply brilliant.
Absolutely awesome!
I've never been too impressed by Lego builds. Not Lego Millennium Falcon, not Lego Titanic, not even Lego Deathstar. But I AM impressed by this. Congratulations. This is wonderful! 🙂
You’ve blown my mind again Grant 🤯
Absolutely brilliant.
I find it a bit strange and unnatural that the water is rising on the sand before the wave arrives: usually the water keeps going back to the sea until the moment a wave crashes on the shore. I wonder if this effect would be achieved by realigning the two systems or if this process would make the movement awkward in another way.
Nevertheless, this is a very nice and cool construction. Well done.
Maybe a two layer system where a short layer goes forward and backwards correctly as the top layer creates the wave.
We didn’t ask 💀
@@DeathDustDespair nobody asked for your opinion
@@DeathDustDespair I tried to look for someone who asked for ur opinion and can't seem to find someone who asked
This would be a riptide beach, where the waves push in more water than can ebb back out. There would be dangerous undercurrents running back under the waves that could drag you out to sea. If they don't want to change the timing, they could put up danger signs to make it accurate instead.
Man, I love this so much--I would vote for it and "evangelize" for you if you put this on LEGO Ideas. If you make any future videos with this set or any other iterations of this wave machine, I'd love for you to consider using a song of mine in the background. Here's why it's so on-the-nose: When I was young, my grandfather (who was an engineer) would build my LEGO sets for me. My most epic memory of this was when I got the Black Seas Barracuda one birthday, and he sat for hours assembling it at the big wooden dinner table. Fast forward 25-30 years: My song "Tír na nÓg" is about his decline due to Alzheimer's/dementia. In the first verse, I reference him building the Black Seas Barracuda for me, with this lyric: "a ship that you built out of bricks, from a box when I was six". The ocean/ships/shipwreck theme continues throughout, with the last verse describing a trip to the beach together from the last time I saw him (2017); we stood serenely at Siesta Key Beach (Florida), watching fish and birds in the gentlest waves I've ever stood in. He was so at peace and happy in that moment, despite not know who any of us were. The relaxing flow/speed of your wave machine takes me back to that beautiful moment.
Here's the song: th-cam.com/video/-JHoEKmZ9G8/w-d-xo.html (also has some pictures of me and him).
This is awesome. The mechanical side of lego is another world entirely. And the music you chose is nice and calming, while also being just plain awesome
GREAT WORK Grant! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!!! for all your effort and for sharing your passion!
Amazing work! However, I’m curious to see a different syncing between the movements of the rolling wave and the breaking wave ( by that I mean the water on the beach).
Here, you have them synced in a way that both go forwards and backwards simultaneously. But I wonder whether it looked better, if the breaking wave kept moving forward after the rolling wave disappeared. Because in reality, the wave comes rolling, breaks _and then_ the water of broken wave creeps up the beach. (Here I think it looks a bit weird that water of the broken wave on the beach pulls back immediately after the rolling wave disappeared)
Furthermore, this way the next wave rolling wave would be headed to the beach, while the water is still “flowing” back from the beach into the ocean, which would be really realistic.
Maybe my imagination is wrong but In my inner eye this would look even better.
One more thing i would add is seldom areas of wave rigidification in between the wave generators modules so that the sagging of the mesh would not be static across the movement and create even more detail in the wave.
There's no place I'd rather be
, than on my surfboard out at sea. Lingering in the ocean blue! And if I had one wish come true, I'd surf till the sun sets beyond the horizon! 'Āwikiwiki, mai lohilohi
. Lawe mai i ko papa he'e nalu. *Flyin by on the Hawaiian roller coaster ride!*
Everybody gangsta...till you see the waves are being controlled by waterbenders
Wow, the dictator of North Korea commented on my video!
(Listening to that song again right now, thanks for the reminder. Love it!)
OMG the ingenuity!!!!!
I love this build, so soothing to watch it in motion.
the bricks and peices order for this moc must have been expensive as hell
Ooooh, you know what bricks and pieces is. Very cool. All this was either in my collection already or from bricklink though!
If this was a real set, I would pay good money for it!!! Well done, you must be a massive genius!!!
Absolutely amazing!!
EVERYTHING IS AWESOME!!!!
It’s a shame about the noise.
And the sad part is... I even turned the volume down like 10 dB.
That is awesome. Great job.
Incredibly wonderful!
Fire, aeroplanes, cars and a lego wave machine. Just some of mans greatest inventions.
Indeed.
Awesome!! Super cool
