Don't underestimate the strength of arches! There's a reason why we use them on bridges.
This wasn't really an example of it being strong because it was an arch. Because the load was applied over the two piers (end points). The strength of arches are exemplified when point-loaded in the center of the span.
Actually, both of you are wrong. If he were to press just the center, the legs would have just spread apart and the center would have split. What he did, which was even pressure across the arch, was the correct demonstration of its strength. As far as why we use them on bridges, it's because it's the strongest structure that has an opening in it, and things need to be able to go under the bridge. A solid wall is objectively stronger.
Object in question was technically in shape of an arch, but it poorly represents strengths of arch structure. In this example almost all of the stress was concentrated in those two pillars on either end. Real arches have sense because they are able to take bigger loads on curved part, requiring less tensile strength of the material and redirecting load to compressing forces.
I'm so glad that professors of physics started this thread.
I think that where the arch was loaded is moot in this case. The arch block was stronger because it is better reinforced and has smaller faces that are more rigid and less prone to buckling.
Who would think a tiny LEGO brick could hold 1500lbs? Not me. Great video!
any brand = pain in the foot when accidentally stepped on
That wasn't 1,500 pounds... It was 1,500 kg!
Lego brand was 1500 pounds!
Someone has played the mobile game Kappa
Peter he says in video and shows in text it was 700 kg which equates to 1,500 pounds (US)
So if Japan had made their buildings out of fake Lego bricks Godzilla would have just hurt his foot, caused no damage and swam away!

*_Never underestimate fake products guys_*
But have you ever had a problem with Lego's breaking?
The fakes chip and shatter easier.
The real ones are more flexible to prevent chipping which could hurt people. Instead of chipping they bend.
I don't really think there is a situation where your lego brick must be able to hold a ton instead of 700kgs so I don't think we can say the fake one is better based on these stats.
So Chinese ave started releasing originial products?
It's not really fake product, just the similar bricks from another company. They don't pretend to be LEGO
I'd love to see this again with a thermal camera
Does it get hot inside it?
@@RoxAS-RN I think it would conduct a little heat.
With it having so much pressure it bends and the friction causes it to heat up
Me too!
At 10:10 we have a Force of about 21kN. Since Energy = Force * Distance, and the Distance can be assumed with 3cm (0.03m), that would lead to a required Energy of 630 Joules. Since we have mostly plastic and no elastic deformation, all of it will dissipate as heat. Assuming a weight of 20g and specific heat capacity of around 2.1 kJ / (kg*K) gives us an >average< Temperature increase of 15K / 15°C. But since we have most of the heat being produced at the failure points this might actually give some fancy thermal shots while crushing :)
That's a great idea! Plastic gets fairly hot when bent. Hot enough to feel it with my fingers.
That load cell is definitely a plus..... makes it so interesting and educational as well as super entertaining, as always!
Yep it is really good addition! I bought also 150 ton one for the big press!

You turned a bridge into an octopus. Genius!
Lego bricks are made to crazy small tolerances, it’s in the order of microns. It’s why the disengagement force is so consistent.
WineScrounger Is that why they're so expensive?
Tom Hadler could be; that and market forces. Basically it’s down to what enough people are prepared to pay.
Also the tollerances are maintained, so Legos that are 20 years old, will still fit new ones really nicely and feel like nothing have changed.
P Jeppesen 20? Try 40-50. And the colours are also almost impossible to fade.
@@Tom_Hadler at least legos never lose value.
Seriously individual lego brick bulk cost for a standerd 2 by four is more stable, when accounting for inflation, than any other currency or precious metal lol.
Stepping on real lego:AAAAAAAAA

Your hydraulic press survived stepping on a LEGO? Impossible!
Makes sense that the Duplo bricks crush so much easier, since they're significantly less dense.
You should test the paper again. See at what pressure paper explodes.
Yes, please.
In a vacuum chamber
Hydrulic press uses air pressure to push such high force, but i dont know if it works inside a vacuum camber
What? Hydraulics use liquids, typically a sort of oil. Pneumatic systems use air pressure.

Seriously though, over 2 tons of pressure is damn impressive.

Haven’t you ever stood on one Dudok
Do u understand vectors. Forces are balanced as vectors cancel. E.g when you try to sqeeze a egg with your fingers from the top and bottom it is really difficult
:/ Have you ever tried to break an egg by pushing the top and bottom in?
It’s all physics. they are that tough because they are so small, if they we’re bigger with the same thickness they’d be half as tough.
The CLASSIC ARCH wins at > 2 tons. Very impressive. Perhaps if all of THE THREE LITTLE PIGS had Legos, the wolf would have starved?
except that was a distributed load, if it was a point load in center it would be far less, another comment with some smarter replies further details what i say in lay mans.
Anni's car behaved like a low rider, bottoming out with minimum load and becoming an excellent block. Congratulations on 2,000,000 subscribers. Good things happen when you are the best in the field.
That last lego turned into a octopus 🐙
The last brick looks like an octopus when it crush-ed.
Finally! - you are answering the real questions that man kind has been asking for decades!......you are doing important science things! :D
Fun stuff! Pretty impressive how much force the Lego bricks took. It didn't actually surpiced me that the Duplo wasn't stronger though
- the material is thinner compared to the size. Also if something is bigger, means it may actually be easier to crush (unless we are talking about solid blocks of material or an object with a very solid structure) - the levarage when a structure starts to bend get much higher the bigger it is (wich makes it collapse easier).

Duplo brittkke
10:00 that lego duplo brick survived that much because of half circled build. It's amazing how a circle can change our lifes!
Arches are some of the strongest structures in the world. I'm surprised you thought it'd be weak.
it was only stronger was due to the equal distribution of pressure over the area, had they pressed it in the center it would be a far less stronger outcome
@@Joshua79C It was also strong because the weight was being concentrated on a section of the model with smaller expanses of large flat area without support (sidewalls). Bigger sidewalls are weaker than smaller ones. That's why the smaller block is stronger.
@@Joshua79C the arc litteraly disperse the weight over , it is actualy stronger if you focus only on the center of it ; talking about actual arches ; that lego arches didn't realy had the structure of one, just the form , still effective toh ..
That is why many arch bridges are built into hil or cliff sides, as that vertical natural form it's set into help naturally reinforce the arch structure. Sure as he shows it will fail more easily if you put pressure more toward the center. Let's say you use a 4 peg block atop the middle of the arch it will fail under less pressure (weight) as we both know, but without side reinforcement at the ends of the arch like I said of those built into the geography, its anyones wild guess how much (little, less) weight it will endure before the arch fails at the peak which is the weakest point on this arch form.

Duplo isn't even a different thing than Lego. They're compatible. You can put Lego bricks on Duplo bricks. They're designed to fit together, though differently than they fit onto their own respective type, obviously. Still, you can build mixed Duplo/standard Lego structures.

Better to have a username that checks out, than an astonishingly overconfident one.
They are different plastics and have different internal structures. Duplo is much softer, which makes sense if it is made for toddlers to young children since they can get hurt easily.
theuncalledfor Nice burn bro. Upon reading my comments in more serious settings you might, I hope, consider my username vindicated. But yeah it does open the door for lots of burns 😁
@@theinfeno
None of that matters to my statement. They are produced by the same company, sold under the same brand name (Duplo does have the Lego logo on the packaging, and is also known as "Lego Duplo"), and designed to be mutually compatible for construction. Duplo is a subcategory or variety of Lego, typically meant for younger children, as you correctly pointed out. It's not a separate thing.
Fake Lego bricks remind me of being a kid and getting a whole bucket of them every Christmas, it didn't matter they weren't brand name, it was a whole bucket of Legos as far as I was concerned.
We did note that the quality was not as good as on the other ones. Then me and my brother work a lot with correcting others mistakes. Born with feel for quality.

Breaking news: Local man dies from stepping on a fake lego
I suggest comparing the pressures required to compress pure elements(the metals 1st, obviously...then the rest of the elements, too). Sort of like a Mohs test for hardness utilizing the hydraulic press so that it is a measure of spread(area) compression instead of point compression.
That would eliminate wow factor. This way we get surprised when objects made from weak materials withstand huge pressures because due to their shape.
I'm curious... Was Anni's car much simpler, and was your car much more advanced? Hers seemed much simpler and yours seemed much more advanced. I don't think you mentioned it.

Crush a Lego Bugatti!
Another fine video by the Hydraulic Press Channel, proving once again that the only things that you can't crush are my hopes and dreams.
One thing to keep in mind is that the studs don't do anything structurally in a Lego build, they only are there to make the blocks stick, nothing else. The Duplo arch was stronger, not because it was an arch but because the two legs are twice as thick as just the two or three thin walled tubes in a normal duplo brick, same would go for a normal Lego arch and brick. If you put a ton of Lego bricks together and built a big block I believe the weight tolerance would increase exponentially or at least would be more than the added sum of all the individual brick tolerances. You could quite easily build a house from them and if you included technic beams which are also incredibly strong you could most certainly make large structures with the right building technique.
I think you should generally increase the quality of your methods and measurements. People praise "science" here in the comments, but just crushing bricks without doing some thinking first doesn't follow the scientific method very well. Your work in getting people interested in the STEM field is very important. You are/were students of technology after all. Kai on fytyt käyty?
I also think employing the scientific method in your videos wouldn't make them less entertaining or too formal. Though it would mean you'd have to do some more background research, develop a hypothesis, do reliable repeatable tests and report your results. In the reports (=videos), it would be great if you linked your hypothesis and results to theory.
Regarding this video, I think you should have tested the bricks in a more controlled manner. By stacking two and measuring how much pressure that combination can withstand, you can get results that better relate to real use cases, like how much force the bottom brick in a structure can actually hold. When measuring only a single brick, you don't take the possibly weakening effect of malforming the top attaching mechanism into account. You could have the top brick have a smooth-top flat piece attached on top of them. That would mitigate the loss of strength that might be caused by first malforming the top connectors.
To get an accurate measurement result you should stop adding more pressure once the brick starts yielding. It wouldn't hurt to do more measurements and showcase them quickly in parallel.
A general tip for any video: Adding a thermal camera to visualize stress would give you much more to work with when evaluating the crushing result.
