@@SamGamlllego is by its nature pretty sloppy in tolerance, so a lot of what you hear is actually plastic on plastic chatter from the gears. The motors are actually brushless for the most part, but they drive their output through cheap little ABS gear trains that make lots of gear noise.

ironically the Zylo, despite being the simplest, entrances me the most, i know it works and if i follow each linkage i can see how it works, but something about stepping back and looking at it makes that understanding go away
It’s amazing how the tower curves can be perceived like the spinning dancer illusion. I was even able to perceive them moving back and forth instead of spinning in a complete circle in either direction!👁️👁️
Theres a lot of stuff you can do with those. Honestly using the wave one with marbles on it that fall off the end and get rotated back to the top would be cool
I'd like to see you building these machines, like your older videos. All the snapping together and testing and such until the machine worked was very relaxing and fun to watch.
Alright so when we finally get the news that an asteroid is coming to earth and will kill us all, i say we just give this guy all the Legos in the world and go on vacation.
I want to see each of these structures built in such a way that everything that could go wrong would go wrong, and then the process of identifying the issues and fixing them. It would be a cool way of showing common mistakes when making mechanical devices such as these and how to troubleshoot when mechanical things don't function properly.
2:04 This is the Spahginus Marcronus, also known as, the Macaroni. They measure from 1 inch to 2 inches. They are well known for their presence in various meals spanning from their discovery from 1872. They are also for their coordinated mating dances where 8 of them, 4 being male and the latter half being female, dance in a specific pattern, very reminiscent of the Hoberman Linkage. As the Macaronis start linking to one another, that is where the mating begins, and they still perform the mating dance with it. As for the Macaronis that were either left out or simply just make an imbalance in the dance’s system, they were destined to find another group of Macaronis to perform the mate dancing with. This specie of Spahginus is rather interesting, and how they mate is simply just magnificent to watch. The Spahginus kingdom of animals aren’t exactly well known for this type of mating, it would only simply be of drenching themselves on a vat of hot water, killing themselves, to mate with one another in what could be assumed, an orgy. But for the Marcronus, each of the Macaroni still live, after mating, which fascinated biologists for years, studying on this wonderful creature. They are truly a sight to see, in the Animal Kingdom.
I've always loved Legos and still buy myself a set for Christmas every year (I'm 51). With some Lego builds I've seen in the last 10 years I'm convinced we should be shipping them to the moon, you can build anything!
The Hyperboloid Spinner caught my attention because I made something very similar years ago out of a clear tube, fishing line, and seed beads. I had forgotten about it until now, and now I'm trying to remember if adding the beads and rolling it was my idea originally, or if I was trying to copy something I'd seen elsewhere.
Stuff like Tower Curves just seem supernatural to me. I know how they work, it‘s not that complicated, but seeing it in action makes me think it just shouldn’t be possible.
For the wave machine, could you slightly offset the two sides so that the waves also tilt side to side while moving up and down? You’d have to widen the Center channel the waves are riding in but I think it could look pretty cool
It's a bit shame that your latest videos don't include the building part itself. It was really soothing and relaxing to watch, rather than seeing finished structures.
My brain actually moves in my head as the Tower Curves when it sees the Tower Curves... I can't explain it better, I need a neurophysiologist!! Whoa what a freaking strange feeling. All these are awesome, I will pay to see them in action in an art gallery!

The hoberman linkage was really cool. I wonder if it was designed to do something functional originally.
i think it's probably supposed to be used for like camera apertures/shutters
@@poa2.0surface77 get outta here w that 2016 ass joke
Yes, actually! The Hoberman linkage was developed for scissor lifts, but also was used with the Hoberman Sphere, which is a really cool toy.
@@poa2.0surface77clearly you don’t identify as a comedian cause that joke was awful
It is supposed to turn linear motion into radial. It was used for mostly artistic reasons, and for a certain toy

So satisfying to look at

no intro no distractions just straight to the point. that’s a w
"This is our little brother, Zylo, he doesn't run on a motor but we love him nonetheless."
This was perfect in every way
no added music
showing you different angles
how they work I love it
I LOVE kinetic sculptures. You must be a genius to create those models!
All of these are really cool, but the Tower Curves are by far my favorite.
What a positively extravagant collection of whatchamacallits, gizmos, and doodads!
The wave machine actually did a great job at demonstrating why boats need to be at least a couple of meters long
1:01 One must imagine Sisyphus happy.
These make me feel like I'm at a museum!

Never heard of these things but still fascinated to watch them moving. Great video as always.
0:28 a very cool set, but some of these pieces cost an arm and a leg.
the Hoberman linkage on the dark background would be a phenomenal loading screen/cursor
Skills displayed by the driver at 1:06 are absolutely incredible.
The wave invention is 1of the most satisfying machines ever!

That was satisfying to watch

2:05 and that one looks like CGI with that black background :P

A kinetic sculpture is not just a work of art, it's a masterpiece in motion

I just want one of those marble slides that toss the ball back up into the top. Those look fun to stare at on a slow work night
congrats on 3 mil !
The hoberman linkage with some annice led setup would look insane
Technical stuff with legos are one of the best things to exist
I could just watch these over and over!

Someone should make a massive zylo with an absurd amount of really long pieces
Feels like seeing museum exhibits.
Three curve tower looks really cool from the right angle.
I would like to see some of these working with more than one motor, to see just how much of an effect it has on speed

Congrats for passing 3M
Very satisfying video
Tower Curves really got my head in a spin.
DUDE that Tower Curves one is so satisfying!!😃😃
this is wayyy more cooler and fun and better than those expensive boring ones in the market
Beautiful explanation of mechanics physics and dynamics
I could see that last one being a segment in a Great Ball Contraption, it could push through like 10 balls all at once... Very cool stuff as usual.
1:30 I seen this part IRL on personal store
It's a bit shame that your latest videos don't include the building part itself. It was really soothing and relaxing to watch, rather than seeing finished structures.
Very much👍🏽and ++ to the "wave machine".
That Hoberman linkage is crazy
More, *PLEASE!* - I could watch such stuff four hours… (seriously)
the contra-rotating beams can be modified a bit to be used as really a smooth wave machine
The contra-rotating beams are too messy visually. It's hard to see what's going on. I think they might look better with two different colors.
3:25 pov: you’re in middle school at the science fair seeing what Brain made
Ok! 5 and 7 have to be my favorite. So trippy lol. Keep up the great work!
Once again I find myself watching BEC at midnight when I have school the next day
These deserve to be in a museum!
2:05 that's trippy as hell @.@
Hoberman Linkage and the Tower Curves are deffinitly the coolest to look at
ngl the rotating beams look a bit like DNA
also the tower curves be lookin hella fine lmao
and the wave machine is also able to be made in minecraft
this lad/lass behind this channel never ceases to amaze me and probably thousands too
bravo matey
thanks for showing no.6 in slow motion. that way i could determine that i still had no idea what was going on. impressive stuff, brickboy👏👏
The Zylo worked really well: ultra satisfying too!
You portioned this JUST enough to keep me watching. well done.
