this is a great demonstration. what I like is that you can fairly intuitively understand that these different mechanisms were invented to solve specific problems that the others don't address.
I can tell as much, but not specifically what. I was mostly thinking about what the most energy efficient method was. The tilt, table, and vert-lift seem to be at a disadvantage by how high they can be raised. All the others will permit ships of arbitrarily large height. Perhaps those are easier to use, because you're not putting the fulcrum at the end of the bridge, but rather along the wide edge or all corners at once (to spread the energy evenly).

And the video just ends right there. What a work of art. No asking for subs, likes, linking videos on screen to get additional views. It just ends with all the bridges on screen labeled. This is perfection.
It's impressive how much you communicate without uttering a single word. The use of motors etc to show the mechanisms and minifigs moving on their own after building with your hands really brings the LEGO to life! Perfect video, as always.
Nice to see at #10 the transporter bridge receiving a bit of love. Just a handful of them still remains, much less in operating conditions, and I live just 5 km from Bizkaia Bridge, the first one ever made and still perfectly working at 130 years old, an UNESCO heritage monument. The Eiffel tower of bridges (seriously, Alberto Palacio, the engineer, was a student on Eiffel studio).
The one in Newport not far from where I live is still working though as I understand it it's really only open as a tourist attraction. It is 117 years old.
We have one in France, at Rochefort, near La Rochelle (Charente Maritime region). It's almost never used and it's more like a remnant of a distant past. Its mechanism is told to be a real pain in the a$$ to maintain. I guess those bridges are used only for places where you don't often have to transport something from one side of the river to the other...
I live very near a number 9 that used to be a number 10 until it was converted in the 1920s, it is also one of only a few in the world that do the lifting with counterweights is my understanding
If there's ever a part 2, consider including the "Strauss Bascule." The most common design uses a parallelogram linkage and they are found all over Chicagoland (mostly for railroads), as well as lift bridges (7:15), Scherzers (1:21), and some old designs that are now locked in place including a Rall bridge, Page bridge, and bobtail swing bridges. There's a PDF called "Historic Chicago Railroad Bridges" that explains more about them.
The folding bridge looks the most unstable. I hope in real life, reinforcements are added so that it doesn't bend as much as this one did. Well done on this!
The very best part of this video is the foley work on the boat crossings. When the boat goes over the hydraulic tubes or the electrical cords and the sound matches? *Chef’s kiss*
This is an amazing demonstration despite it being so small, he tried to make the design as compact as possible using lego as the base. This is just marvelous and an always iconic illustration of how you can put kids toys to real engineering.
4:10 This mechanism is similar to a cars convertible roof folding back. It would be very interesting if someone implemented it into a build! Very cool video!
I love seeing these in action. My city has a big swing bridge that lets all sorts of big and small ships pass through; seeing it on such a small scale as well is really interesting.
Bridges are definitely one of, if not, the most interesting pice of engineering. Combining bridges with lego, and doing in a simple way like this video, is just so cool
Using a miniature for testing is very common before building and engineering the real deal. If the small version works best then the full sized version is likely to work the best.
My favorite one is the folding bridge, as that allows you to cover a massive space with a one-sided bridge! It could do with some extra locking mechanisms and reinforcements in reality, though, as no bridge should bend down under heavy loads as much as that one did.
yes. u have multiple pauses and beams supporting each stage of the bridge and all ur doing is making the person in the car stop and go every 2 seconds because they re waiting for every bridge to go up and down. even then its very likely u could combine 2 bridges into 1 and it still work rather well.
As I was watching this I was thinking I'd love to see your take on a transporter bridge. Did not disappoint! :D There's one near me that's over 115 years old and is still in use today.
7:43 Transporter Bridge is a very unusual idea. Idk if you pay for the bridge or not but slow and delayed. Imagine if they keep using those ideas, it'll get traffic forever...
These bridges are usually used for light traffic areas that stretch over long plains. Some of them float on the water like a tiny barge to enable it to stretch even further and hold more load.
Very cool! I don't know if these all have real-world examples but if they do it would be cool to put a little clip of a real-life bridge with that mechanism after each one!
az első a legjobb.... egyszerű, olcsó, elegáns, fenntartható, a többi komplikálthoz képest...bár jobb egy olyan híd amit nem akadályoz senkit a haladásban és emelgetni se kell
I can't help but wonder, why would you pick one bridge over another? Where's the shots of something going wrong and a new bridge coming in that addresses that problem? I like seeing iterative design in action- or at least some pros and cons.
It's usually due to specific use cases. Some places don't have the space for the bridge section to lift in a specific direction. Or the bridge can't support the weight or something over a section lifted or turned or what have you. Sometimes it's because they can and it looks cool
It's not so much things going wrong where another bridge is needed, it's more a matter of available space, money, and materials, and requirements in terms of traffic
My favourite part is seeing the boat falling down right after it passes the bridge as if there was a waterfall Edit: you can see all of the boat falling down at 8:55 and ut’s the funniest thing
There's a video I've watched on TH-cam about a remote control bridge building truck, as it is in real life in the Army. I forget the channel name now but the bridge laying machine model is amazing! Drives up to the gap, lays the bridge in front of itself, drives over the bridge and retrieves the bridge afterwards! Mind blowing.
This is why both a ship to battle against another kingdom and a vehicle going to McDonalds are *able* to *safely* cross the bridge. The battleship just won against Brickish Kingdom. The vehicle went to McDonalds and *finally* found the normal ice cream machine and bought what they want. Nice build!
