Automating 7 Lego Water Pumps

Automating 7 Lego Water Pumps

Building and testing 7 different motorised Lego water pumps. Each electric water pump is placed in a basin. The basins are connected creating a water circulation. Each pump/basin has a water level sensor that adjusts the speed of the pump motor to avoid overflow. Things to consider: Pump type, flow rate, motor speed and pump speed.

App used to program the pumps: Lego Powered Up App

I like that the chain pump is so slow it needs to be supplemented by the peristaltic pump.

For anyone that didn't notice, the peristaltic pump's inlet can be seen at ~7:14 in the chain pump's basin (just to the left of the chain pump's left support), and the outlet can be seen at ~7:24, just below the piston pump's outlet pipe. It's a bit more obvious in the overview at 8:06.

Also, centrifugal pump and external gear pump are mvps!

8:06 the food coloring is actually a good example on how dumping waste no matter how much will always affect the full stream of water and pollute the entire system

[Windeycastle]

A perfect outro, the final show-off, the experimenting with video-editing, the cats asking themselves "What's this weirdness...".
Not only a well thought out subject, it's visually presented wonderfully!

[parzaz]

Love the Peristaltic Pump not only it can be run in reverse it also isolates contamination from the mechanism that's why it's often used in medical equipment.

[XGamesJ]

I'm blown away by how much Lego has added since I was a kid. I wish I knew about all the sensors and programming options they made sooner!

[hypocriticalgrammarnazi]

The stop motion in this video is so satisfying. And the machines are. The whole video is satisfying!

[SchurmannStories]

The editing is getting insane. I’ve seen every video here and this is next level

[jdbrickcreation]

Engineering is really impressive. the different ways of moving water are very creative. Good job👏

[LEGOCOOKING]

This must’ve been so hard to make. It looks AMAZING!

[dulesipu]

This channel is literally banger after banger. Demonstrating engineering principles step by step through legos. I am always excited to see what you'll try next.

Archimedes screw is supposed to be within a pipe, which drastically increases the volume moved with each rotation.

as much as anything, I'm impressed lego can form a strong enough seal to allow for pumping.

[lewismassie]

I think the piston is my favourite. Love those valves!

And the controllers using the water level were super clever. Not sure if those would be considered Finite State or Proportional controllers though

[pure]

I had zero expectations going in, but this was honestly one of my favorite videos in recent memory— snapping editing and pacing, and seeing it all come together at the end was SUPER satisfying. I couldn’t stop watching. Love this!!

[chickenmaster]

This man making music videos out here. Absolutely pulled a 180 (crazy) at the end by making the actual center of attention become the background effect for what was the background music.

[antonh]

would love to see more of these kinds of videos where you show of different machines with the same purpose. more spefically i would like to see more where you show ancient mechanisms and modern ones so we can see how much technology has improved

[pentomind]

I like how the motor and all the delicate parts are always kept safe from the water.
The piston pump with visible valves is so cool !

[Antwan]

The level of insanity of this channel is beyond comprehension.
By far far far the best subscription I have. I love how crescendo those videos go, from engineering to creativity.
BRAVO! 👏

THE IMPROVEMENT IS A BANGER, the black background makes it easier to see the legos, the stop motion is incredible, the editing, and more things with water sources, and the cat of course what a cutie, love you man 🧡
