7 Kinetic Sculptures in Lego 

I can only imagine how cool these would be as permanent desk sculptures if you could get a silent motor to drive them with nothing but the quiet steady clicking of some of the mechanisms.

It doesn’t matter how old you are, LEGO constructions keep fascinating you again and again.

Babe wake up a new BEC video just dropped

My grand-uncle was an architect who loved to build mechanical contraptions out of wood as a hobby. He had made many of these same sculptures by hand with hand-cranks over the years and they were some of my favorite toys growing up

That Hoberman linkage with the yellow pieces in the dark looked really striking, very cool!

Tower curves just made me WOW! Thought this was an illusion at first.

The tower curves were really mesmerizing

2:58 *Sailin' the Sea o' Blood*

This man never fails to impress me

The wave machine was the coolest, it looked like a fancy wave illustration, but in real life.

The "Tower Curves" and the "Hoberman Linkage" were my favorites. Really nicely done. Can't wait to see more of this!

ironically the Zylo, despite being the simplest, entrances me the most, i know it works and if i follow each linkage i can see how it works, but something about stepping back and looking at it makes that understanding go away

3:33, the one at the bottom right corner of the screen: why am I here, just to suffer?

2:18 "HOLD ON HOLD ON HOLD ON HOLD ON HOLD ON HOLD ON HOLD ON HOLD ON "

It’s amazing how the tower curves can be perceived like the spinning dancer illusion. I was even able to perceive them moving back and forth instead of spinning in a complete circle in either direction!👁️👁️

The hoberman linkage was really cool. I wonder if it was designed to do something functional originally.

Theres a lot of stuff you can do with those. Honestly using the wave one with marbles on it that fall off the end and get rotated back to the top would be cool

1:06 General Grievous, we meet again.... And you're still shorter than I expected.

So satisfying to look at

You never grow out of LEGO, it's just that the way you play with it changes.

I'd like to see you building these machines, like your older videos. All the snapping together and testing and such until the machine worked was very relaxing and fun to watch.

3:20 in soviet russia, ground drives you

1:01 One must imagine Sisyphus happy.

the Hoberman linkage on the dark background would be a phenomenal loading screen/cursor

That was satisfying to watch

0:28 a very cool set, but some of these pieces cost an arm and a leg.

1:30 I seen this part IRL on personal store

Alright so when we finally get the news that an asteroid is coming to earth and will kill us all, i say we just give this guy all the Legos in the world and go on vacation.

congrats on 3 mil !

no intro no distractions just straight to the point. that’s a w

The wave machine actually did a great job at demonstrating why boats need to be at least a couple of meters long

All of these are really cool, but the Tower Curves are by far my favorite.

This was perfect in every way no added music showing you different angles how they work I love it

The hoberman linkage with some annice led setup would look insane

These make me feel like I'm at a museum!

I LOVE kinetic sculptures. You must be a genius to create those models!

Tower Curves really got my head in a spin.

Me at 0:35... He Supports the R.O.C! 🤣

2:05 that's trippy as hell @.@

Never heard of these things but still fascinated to watch them moving. Great video as always.

I just want one of those marble slides that toss the ball back up into the top. Those look fun to stare at on a slow work night

That Hoberman linkage is crazy

The wave invention is 1of the most satisfying machines ever!

I could just watch these over and over!

1:30 wow that one's so trippy o.O 2:05 and that one looks like CGI with that black background :P

What a positively extravagant collection of whatchamacallits, gizmos, and doodads!

I want to see each of these structures built in such a way that everything that could go wrong would go wrong, and then the process of identifying the issues and fixing them. It would be a cool way of showing common mistakes when making mechanical devices such as these and how to troubleshoot when mechanical things don't function properly.

Very much👍🏽and ++ to the "wave machine".

The engineering that can be made with legos is mind boggling.

Feels like seeing museum exhibits.

That is really cool and smart at the same time, bravo.

Congrats for passing 3M Very satisfying video

Skills displayed by the driver at 1:06 are absolutely incredible.

I would like to see some of these working with more than one motor, to see just how much of an effect it has on speed

Three curve tower looks really cool from the right angle.

Someone should make a massive zylo with an absurd amount of really long pieces

so you are alive

Beautiful explanation of mechanics physics and dynamics

The Hyperboloid Spinner caught my attention because I made something very similar years ago out of a clear tube, fishing line, and seed beads. I had forgotten about it until now, and now I'm trying to remember if adding the beads and rolling it was my idea originally, or if I was trying to copy something I'd seen elsewhere.

I am in awe already, and I only just finished watching the first contraption. Thank you. My nerdy engineering mind is loving this...

Never fails to impress with his creativity

I've always loved Legos and still buy myself a set for Christmas every year (I'm 51). With some Lego builds I've seen in the last 10 years I'm convinced we should be shipping them to the moon, you can build anything!

Ok! 5 and 7 have to be my favorite. So trippy lol. Keep up the great work!

A kinetic sculpture is not just a work of art, it's a masterpiece in motion

Technical stuff with legos are one of the best things to exist

the contra-rotating beams can be modified a bit to be used as really a smooth wave machine

For the wave machine, could you slightly offset the two sides so that the waves also tilt side to side while moving up and down? You’d have to widen the Center channel the waves are riding in but I think it could look pretty cool

DUDE that Tower Curves one is so satisfying!!😃😃

Это Шикарно))) всё залипательнО) 1:11 надо такой мотоцикл аля старый сделать) с моноколесом 1:40 просто вау) красиво и чокто) 2:10 магия в темноте) 2:40 Волна топ) Вы огромный молодец)) Вдохновляете)

2:04 This is the Spahginus Marcronus, also known as, the Macaroni. They measure from 1 inch to 2 inches. They are well known for their presence in various meals spanning from their discovery from 1872. They are also for their coordinated mating dances where 8 of them, 4 being male and the latter half being female, dance in a specific pattern, very reminiscent of the Hoberman Linkage. As the Macaronis start linking to one another, that is where the mating begins, and they still perform the mating dance with it. As for the Macaronis that were either left out or simply just make an imbalance in the dance’s system, they were destined to find another group of Macaronis to perform the mate dancing with. This specie of Spahginus is rather interesting, and how they mate is simply just magnificent to watch. The Spahginus kingdom of animals aren’t exactly well known for this type of mating, it would only simply be of drenching themselves on a vat of hot water, killing themselves, to mate with one another in what could be assumed, an orgy. But for the Marcronus, each of the Macaroni still live, after mating, which fascinated biologists for years, studying on this wonderful creature. They are truly a sight to see, in the Animal Kingdom.

I could see that last one being a segment in a Great Ball Contraption, it could push through like 10 balls all at once... Very cool stuff as usual.

The Zylo worked really well: ultra satisfying too!

These deserve to be in a museum!

That Zylo needs to be motorized!👍

Once again I find myself watching BEC at midnight when I have school the next day

Love the Zylo. Simple, yet fun 🙂

1:13. General Grievous… I thought you would be taller.

Reminds me of those orokin sculptures in warframe, really cool.

This guy can't miss. Love it

These are mesmerizing. Thanks for sharing!

Those are amazing to watch! Nice job

More, *PLEASE!* - I could watch such stuff four hours… (seriously)

Tower curves is for sure the coolest imo

I love your videos. ❤

Damn these are so mesmerizing

that curve one was really trippy

Super fun creations! I love the last two!!!

this is wayyy more cooler and fun and better than those expensive boring ones in the market

Stuff like Tower Curves just seem supernatural to me. I know how they work, it‘s not that complicated, but seeing it in action makes me think it just shouldn’t be possible.

It's a bit shame that your latest videos don't include the building part itself. It was really soothing and relaxing to watch, rather than seeing finished structures.

3:25 pov: you’re in middle school at the science fair seeing what Brain made

ngl the rotating beams look a bit like DNA also the tower curves be lookin hella fine lmao and the wave machine is also able to be made in minecraft

Love these!!!! It took me a good minute to figure out how the contra-rotating beams worked, lol. Fantastic explorations of shape!!!!!

Really cool ideas and motion. Thanks for building and sharing these!

The tower that hit the jello knees dance was fire

Impressive. Very nice. Let's see Paul Allen's kinetic sculptures.

I like that he turns each sculpture so you can see how it works from different angles.

I've seen enough, i am satisfied.

Hoberman Linkage and the Tower Curves are deffinitly the coolest to look at

easy to get off to. you dried me up! thanks
