I Made The World's STRONGEST LEGO L-Motor!!

In this video, I design and build THE STRONGEST LEGO MOTOR in existence. There's NO STOPPING IT, legit! Comment down below, should I make 3 more and build a ridable car?

Brick experiments has lifted 200 pounds with a single motor. The main issue you ran into was no additional gearing/tackle, and of course just the lego axels having limited strength. It's a good start and I'd love to see your motor power things once you have a better output system

Should I make 3 more motors and build something rideable??!

[rbx]

Who’s gonna tell him that no matter how strong a motor is, you can always outperform it using gear ratios, leverage and pulleys?

[LEGOCOOKING]

I'm amazed at your creative <3

[ssaudios]

As an engineer I can tell you: with one of these you can't move a car

But if you build 2 of these motors they could actually move you in a small rideable thing like a go cart.

Lego built a full size driveable Bugatti Chiron, they used 1.500 L-Motors which produces a torque of 50-74 Newtonmetres.

The motor can lift 20 lbs, and I cannot curl a 20lb dumbbell with my left arm. I'd say this machine has *superhuman* strength.

5:17 "its a bit sturdier its quite a bit larger" got me laughing in the central square

[tphl]

As an engineer, I can give a couple of tips:
1. Use gears connected in parallel on the same axis. This will increase the strength several times.
2.Under high load, the axles also bend. You can use the holes in the gear to connect it to the load.
3.Reduce the load on the intermediate gears. Add gears and gearboxes separately for each engine. Exclude all gears connecting the motors together except the central one.
4. Reduce the speed in favor of power - increase the gear ratio with a multi-level gearbox, similar to the one at the end of the video.

I'm sorry if I made a mistake in words - I'm an engineer, not a linguist.

LEGO Technic team actually did make a car, a Bugatti Chiron once with LEGO and even with a powerful LEGO motor engine, the same principle as here. This is really mind-blowing. #LEGOtechnic

[thehyperscientist]

Yes, build three more! In a sense, you've basically combined all the torque from each motor. I think it's safe to bet that it's even stronger than the metal motors you find in RC toys

[maxvogt]

I think if you were to redo it with with those custom metal axles you could really push the motor to it’s limits. You should also maximise torque over speed by making the gear transfer multi-level, where each gear transfers to a bigger gear, then a smaller gear on that same axle transfers to a bigger gear. It’ll allow you to drive way more with the motor

[miksa]

I have a feeling that this will be Riley's only creation that serves as an powerful alternative to other motors.
SOOOO EXITED!

[ENCHANTMEN_]

I wonder if there's a point where the friction caused by extra gears counteracts the torque created by extra motors? Like if there's an upper limit on how much you can get out of Lego motors

[ShadowFire]

I’m not sure how hard it would be but I would love to see around four of these put together to make a Lego engine for a functional Lego car

[bramweinreder]

Put 2 opposite of eachother, connected to a diff. Your power will double, and make up for whichever assembly has the first failing motor.
Then, feed it into the greatest reduction train that you can fit between the two enclosures. Have an output at a 90 degree angle. Build 3 more, and have them all feed into the same reduction gear.
That would be a start. I'll buy Lego stocks in the meantime 😆

[Chubbybots]

I learned a new word today restertified :P

[bigskitl]

Brick Experiment Channel does a lot of Lego gear ratios. He's got metal axles that he uses sometimes because they don't bend and twist as easily. You could check those out

[bsharpmajorscale]

A thoughtful commentary on the wonders, but also the dangers, of technological progress. When he said "it's L-motoring time, " I cried. The apocalyptic ending was fearsome. Truly one of the films of all time.

[mitsosify]

No matter how strong you make the motor the weak point is the output shaft. There is a limit in the torque it can handle...

[ianstratton]

You can definitely make a viable vehicle motor from these, the issue is the output shaft is so small and flimsy it would just break or twist before it could move anything. If you can find a way to make a thicker sturdier shaft, it will hold up to more torque.
