Can Lego BREAK a Steel Axle?
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 มี.ค. 2020
- Let's see how Lego-compatible stainless steel axle deforms or breaks when high torque is applied.
The test bench is made using only plastic Lego parts. Enjoy!
The axle was bought from Brick Machine Shop on BrickLink (obsolete)
store.bricklink.com/Eezo?item...
it was later sold by cncgear on EBay (obsolete)

Looks like a drill bit to me.
if it was he doesn´t need buy one
@@brucelucas8570 what does that even mean
@@dylbowaggins4160 it means that he doesn´t need to spend money to buy drill bits
yeah so much i thought thats where he started of from the thumbnail "unturning a drill bit"
How do you think they make them?
The fact that legos can withstand that much just shows you how incredible the quality is
I knew how quality they were when my fat ass stepped on one and it rkoed me
and then brown plates just collapse
Brown parts: are you sure about that?
Yeah, if this machine was creating 15 Nm of torque, that means the lego joints were withstanding something like 7,500 N, or 1,700 lbs.
Except brown bricks😂😂😂😂
2:54 i love how the machine just dances with the music
True :)
Zooms in at an atomic level
"broken"
Haha
Had to make sure
Looked at this comment right as the zoom happened lmao
Man...😔
didnt saw it was broken before, the zoom helped a lot there
I have a crippling suspicion this will be recommended again in a couple of years.
1 year earlier this was in my recommended. Now again.

Why are you all whooshing Danny, that is hardly a whoosh.
To be honest, I was surprised by the end result! It’s real impressive that LEGO isn’t only versatile in dioramas.
Can we just spare a moment to be amazed of how strong steel is being twisted like that, so many times without breaking.
I remember when this first came out, a lot of poorly informed commenters were saying this was fake, and it wasn't really steel, that's why in the sequel he went to great lengths to prove the materials in question were what he said they were.
But just from watching the video, I'm baffled how anyone can mistake the plasticity of steel as anything else. Aluminum can be stiff, but it is so brittle. It can't be twisted many times and remain strong.
Oh well. People are so used to the internet being fake, I guess, that the honest man gets persecuted.
*zooms in 100x closer*
--> "Broken"
well who would have guessed
lol
And i thought i was the only one when i laughed lmao
nani?!?!!?
just that little bit on the top is broken. the rest is "stylized."

“Maybe we could have built the pyramids”
Lego pyramid?
Hahahaha
Aboriginals built the pyramids not aliens
I thought the homo sapiens built the pyramids!
No he is an alien I met him at Area 51 when I was visiting the bois that’s why we could walk on legos
It's pretty cool they make drill bits using small Lego machines, learn something new every day!
that zoom in on the axle with the "broken" is prefect. LEGO has to be the coolest “toy” ever made. Just incredible!.
Oh yeah, calculating torque, I remember doing that when I was a kid playing with lego
Michel Angelo who doesn’t remember that
Idk Something original me i forgot its been a long time, now i shred houses with a woodchipper
It was my favorite part of playing with Legos
😆
I can remember when I just hit 5, i said "I'd like to calculate some torques please!"
4:40 i like the part were he zooms in like 10x just to prove it’s in fact broken.
I wanted to like but the upvote counts are is in a good number
I wasn't quite sure at first, but the helpful arrow pointing it out proved it to me.
Soviet boi that’s okay😄
Yeah he even labeled it ""
I laughed out loud at tht part😂
I have a feeling this guy is planning to take over the world with Lego.
thanks for that arrow depicting the broken part of the axle. It was completely necessary.

The thing is that it might be possible to bend a car in half using just a few of Lgo compatible electromotors and a lot of gearing.
It would be very cruel and torturing too as the process of bending might take hours or days.
True
@@mortisCZ yea thats the scary this is the it is possible
@@mortisCZ *goes out to buy legos and four 500 hp engines Intensified*
I mean if u distribute the force applied to each lego and add up then you could probably beat alot of stuff with them, its like paper, 1 layer is easy to cut, add 30 layers and its comparable to armour.
4:46 the little arrow telling you it’s broken 😂
i love the zoom and the little arrow pointing saying it's broken
The sarcastic zoom in to that incredibly close distance THEN the arrow to indicate where it was broken. So sassy I love it.

After taking a few years of Mechanical Engineering courses I thought to myself, "I wonder if he's gonna do a fatigue test" My power of clairvoyance surprises me again.
It’s cool how you can see the reaction to the motors torque through the Lego frame
"Nobody knows what a torque is, but there's six hundred of them swimming around in that engine."
Spoken like a true physicist
It's like a rotational force. If you apply 1N of force to a 1m lever, you get 1 N m of torque. τ = F x.

I'm honestly more impressed that the axle was able to take that many 360 degree twists without breaking than that an electromotor attached to what is basically a plastic vise was able to eventually break it.

Can someone explain to me why is steel twisting like that?? Are the plastic Lego and motors strong enough to twist steel?

He even put a little annotation on. Definitely broken.
i hadn't noticed until he zoomed in
@@daeron_milk I know, right!
I thought we were gonna see the atoms or something
It is NUTS how much force these tiny plastic gears are capable of!
Not what I was expecting but man was that enjoyable to sit through
The 2 lego holding the steel in place is the real champ
Those two were able to support so much torque *because* of the support of the rest of the legos.
@@Darenz-cg9zg Tell that to the steel axle.
Don’t forget the 4 big gears turning it.
I appreciate you syncing the twisting with the music
Watching the axle twist and untwist was oddly satisfying.
Enough legos, and motors, and gears, he can make a machine that would rival a crane.

@@nightzzmixx exactly!
@@nightzzmixx pretty much at the point where you need tools to work with them. i think thats the main feature of lego: it connects with itself without nails or screws or glue.
@@nightzzmixx They will be Leg* metal gears as long as they have Lego-compatible connectors.

you can, thats just about the quality spec lego is made at
Awesome.
And a good opportunity to explain how gearing can multiply force.
Pretty much built a transmission/transfer case.
I can't believe the axle twisted before any of the gears stripped or the structure broke.
A testament to the quality of Legos.
I guess now I know why that 4000 piece Star Wars AT-AT set cost $800.
So THAT’S why legos hurt so much when you step on them, these damn things can twist even STEEL ☠️🤷♂️

Material fatigue is sort of a guarantee to destroy any substance, I'd love to see this same experiment but comparing how many turns different metals/plastics require to finally snap due to material fatigue.
This is why stepping on legos hurts. They're stronger than steel.

For anyone wondering why this happens: Metal has a crystal structure, just like quartz or other gems you might think of. However, it's more malleable. So when you twist it many times over, you are deforming and breaking apart that crystal stucture slowly. Eventually, one or multiple deformations grow to a macroscopic size and cause the greater structure to fail.
First, and interesting.
