@@MrGlennJohnsen smaller piston, increased stroke. trouble is the lego actuator bottomed out so you'd need to double it up or so. possibly another motor and actuator on the other side of the syringe like you said would help.
I love your methodical approach to your projects. There's something super satisfying about it. "Oh the first thing didn't work? How about this? No? Then this?... Yay!"

@@immasnarl292 If there is no music and you play it yourself you still hear the sounds of the video, if you mute the video if there is music playing in the background, you can't hear the music and neither the video sounds. Does that make sense?
@@L29Ah Wrapping baking paper around your solderyng iron when melting hot glue or other stuff with it. Baking paper avoids stuff sticking to it. Even if it sticks you can just throw it away and don't have to clean your iron.
Your style is like that Japanese knife sharpening guy as you both demonstrate a lot of enthusiasm towards your hobby and also creativity. It's really inspiring.
@@ShadowHunter120 While a ping wouldn't return much of a signal, if any, the engine noise would be extremely audible to a modern submarine's passive sonar. Submarine passive sonar can hear things that aren't even in the water.
I like that instead of taking that small plastic submarine and just transferring all the internals to a Lego shell, he actually built a fully functional one out of a jug. He takes pride in his work, and it's cool.
Imagine being a cheery little submarine happy to be played with, and then one day this dude comes along, rips you open, and uses your nervous system to build a even bigger submarine
Imagine being a frustrated little circuit board frustrated to be stuck in such a tiny toy, and then one day this dude comes along, frees you from your prison, and uses you as the control center for A Hefty Boi
@@nottoddhoward2034 eh still, being able to directly control gundam is co- I just noticed something, Your brain will not be used, only your nervous system. Fuckin' hell.
Someone correct me if im wrong but wouldnt larger pistons require more force to push ? In theory multiple smaller pistons would be more effective at depth as the motor will need to push less water per piston meaning less resistance
Ikr I hate it when some you tubers put those ear blasting annoying royalty free “background” music over their videos, it just makes the entire experience feel off.
that quote was my exact thought when he pulled out the other submarine, although I can't blame him not wanting to make his own remote control system for this project. The syringe ballast system is so cool that I'm not even mad though
We must never forget the true hero of this tale. Tiny sub gave every fiber of its being so this lego submarine might possibly set sail. Godspeed tiny sub
Imagine the Legomariners aboard the boat when wife wades into the lake to retrieve her pitcher.. "Con, sonar contact bearing 60 degrees! She's enormous and gaining fast!" "20 degrees down bubble and launch the countermeasures!"
@@viporal7898 Agreed. Wax paper isn't heat resistant. Parchment paper is. Wax would burn against the soldering iron and wax could interfere with the way the hot glue behaves.
Ok, just googled it haha- 'While parchment paper can do anything wax paper can, it's more expensive. The maindifference between papers is their respective coatings. Parchment paper is coated with silicone to give it a nonstick, heat-resistant surface, and waxed paper is coated with asoybean or paraffin wax.'
Yeah, also a real life sub would have stores compressed air and hydroplanes to help with depth changes. Just pumping out water is only one part of the equation.
@@KOTYAR0 It looked like there was a propeller in the bottom so I guess it had neutral buoyancy and used water flow to move vertically. But I'm not an expert on toy submarines.
@@AnttiBrax First i used to think the same. But. Here 6:15. I think that clear plastic thing somehow reacts to water and change buoyancy. It's location just on the top of toy.
ima diver and I've had freshwater fish come up to me like little dogs and let me handle them a little bit. Was doing my safety stop and lifting up rocks where the crawfish would float up and these fish sat there and waited for it to happen and eat em up.
So interesting to see the development stages. I used to love working this kind of (much simpler) stuff out with lego as a kid. I need to get back into it. Thanks for the inspiration.
Needs a bigger hull, and the ballast tank should use a geared screw drive to move the piston back and forth. Gearing the props and using ones with more pitch would also get better movement results, so if you ever do a v2 there's some things to look at.
Yeah, and not using Legos would help too but then again this guy is insane and if he has managed this I'm sure he can do those suggestions with nothing but legos
so that is what I will be looking forward to from you in the next few days, right? Go and buy thousands of $'s worth of those legos, and make a sub no one elses' can compare to! You can do it, I have faith in your abilities! I will be the first to press ...like.
He only took the radio controller parts from the submarine though. Lego probably manufactures similar parts too but maybe they were not so easily available or more expensive?
Lego sells Rc-Parts aswell, however they're shit and overpriced. I dont think it matters if the rc-module has a "lego" on it, it has the same functionality. There's nothing special going on with the parts from the toy submarine.
Not only is this actually freaking awesome, but I genuinely learned a thing or two about the functionality of a submarine. Always great to see what you're working on next! ^-^

Wee bit of trivia: For every 10 metres of water depth (or very closely thereabouts) you gain an entire additional atmosphere of pressure. Those subs that made it to Challenger Deep are truly impressive constructions that the crazy Finnish guy with the press would have trouble crushing.
@@Jan_Heckmann Clearly there's not enough power because the water is pushing in on it and it's getting forced to the side. Both contribute. I'm speculating (without strong opinions) whether the jammed-sideways-ness might have a similar or greater exacerbating effect compared to the ~25 N needed to overcome water pressure. 25 N seems within the capabilities of that actuator, if it could just push straight.
12:37 this is incredibly awesome and at the same time I can't forgive you for not putting a mini figure in a chair on that perfect 2x2 red spot in the middle
It's kinda like upgrading a lesser submarine into a proper war machine ready to serve brave russian mice sailors. They would've pushed that syringe with ease, блат!
@@ari90i I know that, the duct tape is helping it stay in place. it's literally held down with duct-tape, otherwise it would've moved. I know the problem was the pressure was too high at the bottom of the lake, the single piston couldn't handle that, so that's why a 2nd one was needed. Guess what? to keep this rig in place, I'll say it again, duct-tape was used.
Kamilohbk A second piston is needed to help empty the ballast syringe of water while at a depth where the pressure of the surrounding water is too much for a single piston to force the ballast syringe empty. As Thanos said, duck tape is needed to help secure this second piston to the ballast syringe.
Dear Channel, this is honestly one of the very best videos i saw on youtube eversince. I am addicted to childhood memories that got me playing with water, boats, lego, in the summer, by the sea. And here its all in one. Also perfect the single steps and trials, true and with natural sounds. This is so good. If i had a few suggestions to make: Please do more videos with stuff like here. Constructions for the elements like water and wind. There is so much to try out. E. G. a sailboat with all the adjustment steering of sail and stuff. A Micro Oil Rig with true drill function. A kite steering station to the ground. Thank you very very much for this nice video! Christian from germany, the amazed engineer ;-)

This guy literalli showe us how a submirine works. I've learnd more thins in this chanel then 12 year of schooling. Edit: updated comment for the grammatical errors.
Yeah, I think that's why he used another remote subs controller instead of the stock lego remotes. Probably needs the different frequency for water stuff.
Yeah, but does anyone know what module he used for running 9v motors of a 3.7v rc module??? Whenever I attempt to do that kind of stuff with old, trash rc cars I find and try to imply them in a newer handmade steel chassis, I just can't run the 12v 775s of the stupid Chinese 4.5v rc car module sets that no one makes separately GOD KNOWS WHY THE HELL and the 5v relay switches jank I attempted to make just can't go in reverse polarity when the input input is reversed CAUSE I DIDN'T WANT THE JANKED OUT MOTOR CONTROLLER TO BE BIGGER THAN THE 4S battery that is gonna run my never happening dream!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LIKE FUCK ME!!! JUST HOW MUCH DOES IT TAKE TO MAKE A SIMPLE 40A 4 CHANNEL RF RC MODULE KIT!!! anyway, sorry for the frustration but if someone could help me with if not the link, then at least the name of the chip of the small red board... I mean, finding schematic diagrams of circuit board for high power RF modules are really hard to stumble upon... ... And even harder to make. Typing this on a smartphone is Thumb aching and frustrating enough... Pls send help.
@@shadowlord0162 Glad I wasn't the only one! You could definitely go crazier with this one by getting a slightly larger container and refining the mechanics of each control. But the fact he got something workable in a small pond is amazing on its own.
The most reason i really like your video is, that there is just information and no dumb video commentary! The video says all itself and is enjoyable on its own! More of that! :)
I am about to be 40. I never understood how a submarine can increase and decrease it's buoyancy till now. Thank you. That made so much sense. Fill the volume with water, note the weight. Make your system wee bit lighter so it floats, suck in water to sink. Push it back out of the volume to rise back up.
