I love your video!
I recomend changing the backdrop to white basically everything and give it a simplistic vibe, to me it feels better with lego technic experiments

[@LiveYourBricks]

Thanks for your feedback, that's the only way I can improve.
I have to agree with you about the background, white background is my favorite too. But since I'm still in the learning process, I'm still trying out a lot.

I actually think its a nice colour, white would make things easier to see though so I see the argument.

[@josiah1311]

Last one is torque, not power

[@LiveYourBricks]

Thank you for the hint, 'power' was deliberately chosen, as it is more understandable for many.

@@LiveYourBricks Good simple video, however in this case I am inclined to side with Josiah, I think we should use the correct terms and the many can learn them, especially when you already have two actual power numbers included. Please read this comment as constructive criticism not criticism, we likely both want you to start hitting 1000's of views per video :) .
If you don't mind destroying a motor or two I would love to see to what level we can over volt them and the max power we can achieve before destruction! (ideally in multiples of 3.6v, so we test 9v, 12v, 14.4v 18v, 21v etc). Brick Experiment Channel did this with a genuine motor and had to modify but I cannot see tests with a Chinese model.

Thank you for your feedback. I agree with both of you, I should have chosen better terms. I will try to do better next time. Still have a lot to learn. 😇 When I asked some LEGO Technic enthusiasts about torque, they couldn't relate to it and simply called it "power." 🤷
Creating a video where I increase the voltage until the motor breaks sounds very interesting. Thank you for this tip. 👍🏼 As for comparing China-produced products, I understand your point. There are many people in the world who cannot afford original products, and I wanted to show them that it's not necessary. Best regards. 😀

[@tobiasrosch9386]

I do agree, that using the term "power" as an equal to torque is de facto wrong.
However, since you have already measured the torque (via weight*the lever of the pulley wheel) at stall as well as the no-load rpm, knowing characteristics of standard DC-motors you can interpolate the power.
The rpm-torque diagram is a straight line, from which you can extract single data points. The mechanical output power is simply rpm*torque.
You can google "torque diagram DC motor", the first few hits should help understanding better what I tried explaining in prose above.
If you need more info, just let me know ;-)

[@LiveYourBricks]

Thank you for the feedback and the detailed explanation of torque👍. I will try to do better in the future. With Lego, it's often quite challenging, as not all Lego enthusiasts are familiar with technical terms, especially children. 🤔

[@orangetrialtruck]

Very good comparison, thank you! I like how you show the characteristics on the right - it's clear and easy to understand.
Do you have Chinese 'Red Furious' motors? They don't have thermal protection and are expected to be even faster.
P.S. I love the beeps of your power supply :)

[@LiveYourBricks]

Thanks for the feedback. 👍I'm glad you liked the video. 😀I can't say which motor it is exactly, I just ordered it from Amazon.😇 greeting

[@aronslegogbcs1057]

i have some of these china pf motors in my GBCs and i find that they dont last long, the mouldking ones on the other hand are very durable have yet to kill one

[@LiveYourBricks]

I don't know if the Chinese motors break down faster than those of Mould King, as I haven't conducted any durability tests so far. I might need to do that sometime.

[@jackwaller604]

where can i find this chinese motor?

[@LiveYourBricks]

I bought this motor on Amazon
😀😀

[@KumaGtag]

@@LiveYourBricksI got a 9 motor pack, 1 big motor and 2 small. I also got an infer red, a controller, extension chords, etc. (including battery pack) for $35

[@KumaGtag]

Coming later today😊

[@ERIC-WRIGHT]

you mean China vs China ? xD

[@WaldisWelt]

😂😂😂

[@ikilyou1b]

made in china

[@Nik_Tar]

Вывод Китай лучше

[@LiveYourBricks]

Похоже на это, но посмотрите это видео. th-cam.com/video/sY-xkI1dz6U/w-d-xo.html В конце я покажу, почему стоит использовать оригинал.
