Spinning a Lego Wheel FASTER 

Everyone gangsta till the Legos start sounding like a McLaren

*adds a second engine* - Wait, is this chea- *puts out a drill* - Ok

When you generate so much speed that the friction alone melts plastic. Well done 👏👏👏

The fact that contraption withstood 17000 RPM without a single part exploding is crazy. I have newfound respect for Lego.

Me: “I should sleep” Brain: “haha lego go brrrrrrrrrr”

Ah yes. The power drill, my favorite lego piece☕️

“There's a point at 7,000 RPMs where everything fades. The machine becomes weightless. It disappears. All that's left, a body moving through space, and time." -Ken Miles

This man: builds a working drone out of legos also this man: hehe wheel go *brrr*

There's a point at 7,000 RPM where everything fades. The machine becomes weightless. It disappears. All that's left, a body moving through space and time.

Alternate title: Making a literal table saw out of Lego.

"Lemme get the belt-sander" *comes back with a tub of legos and a note that reads 'some assembly required'*

Bruh just waiting for the "going faster than the speed of light with legos" video

You know it’s getting real when you gotta lube your legos

Nobody: France in the 18th century: *7000 revolutions per minute*

Sequel: Spinning a Lego Wheel so fast it breaks the fabric of the universe

Me: watch this video My finger: i need touch this wheel

Imagine putting a quick release on that wheel and just letting it fly

“Someday, Tesla’s will be run by drills and legos...”

This is what I called “High quality RU-vid content”. Don’t ask my why.

I wouldnt count lubing as cheating, using a drill however is cheating.

DUDE, that's faster than a freaking rotary engine...

2026: "news just in, man has built a functioning interstellar space craft from lego"

Moment to appreciate how durable lego actually is, it never failed until it started melting from friction heat.

Ok I have 2 questions: 1) why are you doing this? 2) what am I doing here?

4:34 it's now a supercharged V8.

That wheel literally spins faster than a car engine

Again a perfect demonstration on how a car transmission roughly works. The guys in my car group actually do whats similarly seen in this video by swapping around bigger/smaller final drive gears for gaining either torque or MPG improvements.

Imagine that as your computer fan.

RU-vid: "Wanna see a Lego wheel spin very fast?" Me and other 7 million people: "Interesting"

The wheel: Does 17 thousand revolutions per minute France: *PATHETIC*

Would love to see this with the steel axle and aluminium beam to deal with the heat/melting issue

“You’ll never catch me Krabs. Not when I shift into MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE”

now you need to find the speed at which that wheel will rip itself apart and make it go that speed.

You know its fast when it starts sounding like a formula 1 car

This dude in a few years : "Let's make a nuke out of legos"

I love how this video low-key demonstrates the power of friction.

You basically friction welded that axle to it's support.

"His neighbors hate him for this one simple trick!"

Everyone gangsta till the wheel falls off and breaks the speed of light.

4:36 what my dad sees when i drive a car

this guy can make a bootleg mclaren out of legos if he has enough pieces and time

Day 1: Ahh lockdown, though it sucks i might finally find time to get all the things done i kept postponing. Day 5: I wonder how fast it can spin

the fact that it goes at around 290 rotations PER SECOND at the end is terrifying

Car motor: *stalls* *Hold my lego set*

YOU CAN'T STOP HERE *FASTER*

Next thing you know, you made a car.

When people ask me what my favorite toy as a kid was, I always say I could still play with Legos today. This guy: "And I took that personally."

Imagine this guy with steel lego pieces

step 1. spin wheel fast step 2. ??? step 3. profit $$$$

But Lego Movie was only 15 frames per second. Isn't this classed as overkill?

No Intro, No Talking, Perfection

just connect a 6.2L V8 and watch the thing spin faster than light

RU-vid: Spinning plastic 10 million people: yes

“Vegeta what does the scanner say about its spin level?” Vegeta: “ITS OVER 9000!!!!!!”

Amazing. The whole process reminds me of evolution by natural selection. In this case, the "environment" pressure was for speed. Failed creatures tumbled along the way until the fittest survived at the end.

Lego: We didn't make a drill...

No one: No one: No one: "No one" No one: *no one* No one: nO oNe No one:

everyone: "using a drill is cheating! its not lego" brick experiment channel: "haha drill go brrrrrr"

1:11 That's called a locked train. It causes the forces that make the gears try to run along each other cancel out

I can finally sharpen my lego sword with this machinery

its amazing to see this a realize thats how fast a crankshaft rotates, a crankshaft with pistons attached to it.

Power progression: 1 Lego engine 2 Lego engines A drill Seems fine

3:19 That shutdown was amazing. So much energy.

'gets one thousand rpm' YOU'VE ONLY SEEN 1% OF MY POWER!!!

"Building a real size working lego car"

I just want to say how good this RU-vidr is his other videos are amazing and so interesting and has helped me understand stuff more in ways I never thought were possible thank you to whoever made this 💯

In conclusion: yes, an electric drill has more torque than a lego motor

No one: My PC when it boots up: 3:11

"She cannae take much more Captain!"

hypercar: i've got the highest revvin' engine lego wheel: hold my beer

Thing that you would have wanted to know when you where child. Imagine going to play with legos with your friend and the lego structure got more power than your dads car.

Me: okay it’s 3 am I need to sleep! RU-vid: Hehe wheel go speed

2:21 "a dual core."

Incredible, that’s almost 300 revolutions per second of the wheel. The g-forces on the rim’s edge must have been enormous, I’m surprised a structural failure didn’t occur.

Please stress safety goggles are a must when playing with these sorts of speeds! I've exploded diff gears before and the bits flying off at high speed are dangerous!

Yeah I'm watching this at 2 am in italy during quarantine.

You are a genius. Keep doing these kinds of interesting videos.

This guy is Finnish? Build a sauna out of Legos, then!

The best idea was using 2 opposing gears on the fly wheel shaft gear. the meshing force balanced, taking the radial load off the bearing that spun the fastest, and had the least amount of torque available. I noticed you lubed the axles, but what about the gear teeth? It's amazing how much you can learn about mechanical engineering with a kids toy. 2 motors. same thing. both acting on opposite sides of a small gear, taking away the radial load on that axle, thus the friction. That probably helped as much as doubling the torque because of 2 motors. Nice post.

I wish Lego had bearings

Nobody: My computer while I’m sleeping:

1:55 my xbox 360 while starting up a game

“Time to cheat” 😂😂

The tangential velocity of the wheel gets up to roughly 140 mph. Wow.

Every time I got worried something would happen, it doesn't breakdown. ...THEN you step it up a notch and I keep shifting away from computer screen. THEN you pull out the oil and I'm asking to stop. THEN you pull out the damn drill.

Assuming a radius of 2cm, in the end, the outside moved with 130 km/h (or 80 mph).

This man about to open a freaking wormhole

None of us are here on purpose let’s be real. We all just saw the word “fast” and all were like “oooh yes. Fast.”

Clickbait title: “I try to open a portal with Lego wheels and a power drill”

Of course! The immense amount of friction and heat practically melts the beam slot onto the final gear, 17,000 rpm is insane!

This guy will time travel with just Lego

Him: "Add's canola oil" Me: PERRRKELEE

*Next video: “Building a Lego Hard-drive”*

4:50 big shaq is jealous about the quickness of those maths

*My thought process throughout the whole video:* Me: Oh, that's as fast as he could do it with the mini motor, let's see how he improves upon- *adds bigger motor* Me: Ohhhhh shit, but even this has it's limits. There can't be much more it can do with that- *adds two bigger motor* Me: Fucking genius! But now there's no room to make it faster. I guess this is the- *adds a literal fucking electric drill* Me: Huh. I suppose I am to blame for lacking imagination.

RU-vid: corona news. Everyone: no. RU-vid: LEGO wheel go fast. Everyone: YES

The entire time I was watching this video I was thinking “put a propeller on that thing”

Make a oil system to cool and lubricate the rods. Would be a cool test to see if you can go even higher while not breaking the blocks.
