LEGO wedge pieces are VERY weird (and fragile)

- Apologies. No rolling. No spinning with this one. Not a chance.
It’s safe to say that this design will stay together without a problem, at rest, on a flat surface, indefinitely. But moving it's ridiculously fragile unless the curve is perfectly aligned, and in general it won’t tolerate much disturbance at all. But that being said, what an amazing looking toroid--more like a UFO than a donut--a curved, slotted, octagonal loop.

For some reason it gives me vibes of some kind of sci-fi tech, like it's the hyperdrive generator on a ship. Imagine it in like a metallic grey with random blinky lights thrown in.
reminds me of fusion reactors
It would also make a good tire
It reminds me of magnetic coils, like you'd see at a particle accelerator/supercollider
I was thinking of Doc Oc’s mechanical arms. When he first started to put it together.
Or a ring on a space station
For those wondering, it required 949 A-shaped wedge plates and 146 1x3 plates. It says so in the description.
For those wondering, this comment is for the algorithm
For those wondering, I am not a fish
For those wondering, I wonder why
For those wondering, I'm still wondering about this comment section
For those wondering, TH-cam asked me to rate this comment (literally)gave it five stars. Informative, interesting and appreciating creator 😎 (idk why TH-cam wants us to rate comments)
Many people dislike it but I actually love this A-piece exactly because of the possibilities for your videos lol
Wait really? It feels like one of the most useful pieces they’ve made.
Not once has anyone said they disliked it lol
@@SixArmedSweater
spiral staircase
It makes a neat looking waterwheel at least.
Could make it into a helix if he added one more 1x3 to another side of the loop.
"Everything can be a loop if you use enough pieces of it."
True
Smart.
Wait is that how the forerunners created the rings in Halo?
@@Mac_Omegaly Yes.
This man’s lego collection must be insanely huge
He buys pieces in bulk.
@@MrAdannor Well obviously, but it’s still a huge collection.
imagine him getting a package and he's like, oh, there are my 494 blue A wedge pieces
Huge
I know right? Like he makes builds out of pieces that you dont normally have Alot of
The fact that it curves by not fulling pressing in the bricks hurts me
I was hoping you'd make a donut with the a-piece, but you really went above and beyond.
He treats LEGO with the delicacy and care of a surgeon.
While putting crazy stress on each piece to make his creations.
@@mesiagamer5217
Not in this one; this one only has incomplete connections.
2:10
@@nexieadr Yeah, he still treat them well there.
gloves and everything too
I was thinking throughout the whole last lagd of the video that "that looks like it'll roll good. He's obligated to roll it now". I loved the video but I'm left with an ich
I would have rolled it if I could. You can't even pick it up!
@@BrickBending Wow, was it that heavy? Mad mate, but cool 👍
Ok, 1. I’ve never seen those pieces in my life
2. Can’t believe you thought of that
3. This looks AWSOME
These videoes are beyond therapeutic
That's actually a *lot* more fragile than I was expecting it to be. The build process makes it look like it should be fairly solid... but the last few seconds clearly demonstrate otherwise, and prove that the apology in the caption is justified. I love using the A-wedge in more conventional LEGO builds for its ability to provide non-right angles.
when i look at that, i think of the large hadron collider
I wonder if you could make a donut where the surface is also twisting, like rotating the A by some iterative amount with each layer…
We used to joke about screaming bricks, but now they literally go AAAAAAA
At 0:30 it looks like a steering wheel for a sailing ship.
💯
I think it looks more like a partial accelerator, but that's just cause of the hole that the circle made, but using those pieces in a dark grey and black, plus making Custom Mini figs, you could have a CW Flash set with Reverse-Flash, Flash, and the particle accelerator
At this point, this doesn’t even surprise me
Wow, looks like a sports stadium 😁
That looks awesome, gives off arc reactor vibes
Tony Stark built this in a cave!! With a bunch of legos!!
We need like a bloopers reel where the things break and it all falls apart when they're trying to build it.
This build reminds me of a particle accelerator
not really.... more of like a fusion reactor tokamak
@@DB4KK either way it still looks like a piece of equipment used in high energy particle physics
@@davisthompson9793 well yea i guess, particle accelerators are more of a giant oval
that's so sick
“you know this lego piece you’ve never seen before? yeah? no? I’ve got 2^16 of them.”
This is awesome!
This man can multiply Legos off-screen...
"Is it possible to _learn this power?"_
I don't know why but after all your videos this one in particular has me in awe of how many of a singular piece you have
This Thing Looks Like A Radiator Of Some Kind
And I sill keep telling you these are so great for interior designing like I love your vids man keep it up
It's a lego version of CERN!!
Awesome to be fair, I loved seeing it come together. 👍
This feels like a good start to building an iron man arc reactor
This gives me memories of Lego Dimensions
This reminds me of Dr.Octs arm at first but when you connected them together into a ring, it reminded me of the ship that Ebony Maw uses in infinity war
Wow! Nice LEGO art!
Wow! So futuristic!👌🏻
First video i have ever seen from the channel im only 10 seconds into the video I and I already had to subscribe this was so relaxing to watch
Wow cool I did not know illegal lego techniques were so cool and amazing 🤩 pls continue your cool builds.
This doesn’t stress the bricks nearly enough, I need carnage.
Imagine if a human created a monument like this
That is one lit circle!
Looks really good as a micro build outline for a sporting stadium, like a soccer or cricket field.
That's one amazing lego hadron collider 👌
Jeff All of your videos are awesome i wish i could be a great LEGO builder like you.
Dude, how is it you are not working for Lego??? You're amazing!
Very cool and my favourite lego colour. What would happen if you pushed them together?
You get a really long octagonal tube. : )
Very cool build 👍
That looks crazy
I LOVE you videos!!!!!!!!!!
Fun fact, these pieces in this color appears in the Lego dimensions starter pack, that’s why you guys are getting sci-fi vibes
I used the blue pieces on my own when I was bored to make the circle, always wondered what it would look like with more.
this looks like it'd be an amazing tire in snow or sand if it was strong enough.
Bro is breaking the world physics engine
This is how rings are manufactured, or so I’m told…
Why does it look so satisfying?
Interesting piece, easily a piece of a tower or a wheel. Nice video.
this dude can multiply things holy!
1:29 for a second there I couldn’t tell if he was wearing white gloves or was just Voldemort’s long lost son.
Looks illigal
Don’t think I’ve ever seen a wedge piece that colour. His collection must be huge
I will never understand how you come up with these ideas
Lego A pieces: **exist**
Lego builders: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I like the plot twist in this story
That cave man always experiences cool things
Lego is the future of tech
The beginning looks like the time gear from Pokémon mystery dungeon
That’s the weirdest tire I’ve ever seen
Dude has the Ctrl-D superpower
Tony Stark just called. He wants his Arc Reactor back!
I felt offended when he didn’t stand the half circle up for even a second
Was expecting a simple helix. Not disappointed.
Man, talk about coming full circle.
I’m pleased and horrified all at the same time, whole goddamn wheel there
When you took it apart at the end, I couldn't help thinking about «kransekake»; a type of cake of Danish origin which are made from rings of different sizes, put on top of each other to form a cone. When served, the rings are removed and broken into pieces...
I think it looks cool
The Lego bits from the Lego dimensions portal! They're even the same color!
Edit: I guess that's how you make a Lego tire
Great stuff!! Do you just not press it in all the way home on one side? To get the curve? That's what makes it quite fragile,. I guess! Not very wearable then 😂 - 'weird' in the title can't be seen at first, only the first two letters: for some reason I guessed wearable - some of the shapes remind me of high end jewellery (not really my thing, wearing jewellery, for several reasons including clumsiness and having a fairly comfortable style - but I find the craft & shapes Interesting, just as art I guess).
he added a brick on the top of one wedge piece to make it bend
I think this could be useful in some builds
Looks almost like a futuristic stadium
Imagine making a huge car with this.
I'll forever wonder how this person has so many Legos
It does look like something you'd find in a nuclear reactor which I imagine explains the gloves and protective clothing.
Dude, make an art gallery with all your creations. I will pay to come and see
That would be perfect for like some kind of worm monster machine thing.
Someone needs to make a life sized lego car with these wheels
Looks like an olympic stadium
These should be showcased in legoland
I could see that working in certain builds.
Is this the Large Hadron Collider in the Lego Universe…? Great build, as always, I loved it :3
It looks like a lot of things. A stadium. An arc reactor or some energy thingy ma bob. When half, looks like the inside walls of a sci fi ship
Looks like the old Vet Stadium in Philly!
The next level is another full loop at an angle
1:39 *It looks like Tony Stark's ark reactor.*
He did it! Mega Tube!!!
Where’d you get your gloves? They look like good quality and I’ve been searching for some good microfiber gloves, let me know if possible. Also very nice wheel, circle, teal beautiful steering wheel haha can’t wait to see what you’ve been cooking up
You realise my dream of building this bc i always wanted but never had the pieces to
I wonder if it could be made less fragile by putting some sort of support loop in the hole in the middle of the circles
What other people see: a cool ring
What I see: money
looks like Tony Stank about to create a new element
It looks kind of like a stadium from the side, or a large tire
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is the beginning of the geofront
