With each video we are getting closer to having a lego rocket sent to space.

[Simon-bukc]

the fact that he's getting the engines to vibrate and behave, even slightly sound like their real life counterparts is astonishing

[blackburngaming]

I love that even lego air engines can suffer from incorrect timing case in point with the V6

[DeetexSeraphine]

I don't know what I am more envious of... your Lego collection, or the inquisitive nature of your cats

[OneBiasedOpinion]

I love the fact that no matter what the format or fuel is, engines will always have the same kind of sounds when they operate.

As someone who's done a lot of work with steam engines, I am in awe of your air powered motors. I had no idea legos had come so far! The radial engine is especially impressive.

[xXDiverXx]

As a machine mechanic, i got very impressed with the complexity and the sound is nice. Amazing work there.

[Jinxman]

As a mechanic, I can almost smell exhaust fumes if I listen to this with my eyes close. Amazing work

[noirloo]

I like how the engines sound like their vehicle counterparts except with alot less 'bass'

[jdj]

I loved my legos 3 decades ago.
Now, I'm watching someone use legos for engineering demonstration, as well as occasionally 3D printing their own pieces.
Seems like a solid hobby.

[steelskyblue]

The sheer commitment to experimentation, refinement and then scaling it up to the limits and beyond ---- astounding work. Bravo.

[rezaka]

Love that subtle "like and subscribe figure". Needless to say, i did.

[adissentingopinion]

This video has everything. Extreme serial escalation, fully lubricated modded parts, decent mechanical principle teaching moments, immaculate build sequences, totally unhinged (heh) non 90 degree designs, and a radial engine that I was terrified was going to be a wankel, somehow. The car module? The *skid marks*??? Sublime! Animations! Pieces breaking! This is like the epic film genre of Lego builds.

[KargoCrezy]

man the sound of these engines even in plastic form are music to my ears, i can keep listening to them all day

[SaidThoughts]

It's amazing the creativity one can have. It becomes so much simpler when presented, but before the video I wouldn't have thought how I'd create engines from legos.

[Volvith]

3:35 I love how it went from 'sad and struggling piston' to 'mid 20th century German belt-fed machinegun'.
It really sounds terrifyingly like one, and i love every second of it.

The engine is cool too i guess. ;)

[jacobpiccolo]

i love how this guy always just casually makes an engine of some sorts out of Legos and somehow it seems normal

[JangYounghwan]

One of the best LEGO models for explaining the Hydraulic Engineering!

[dansteel]

I was really looking forward to the in-line 6 to see how it’s vibration characteristics stacked up

[SkorpyoTFC]

I love how each engine, despite being air powered Lego, maintains a similar sound to its real-life gas/diesel counterpart.
