This is awesome! I have an N scale Model Train Layout and I had this idea of making a warehouse with no roof on it so a viewer could see inside of it. I was looking for an idea to make forklifts run around the warehouse looking like they are moving pallets around. This might be a way to make them do that. If I were to add a magnet on the chain in a few places, I could retrofit the forklifts with a steel bearing and place the chain system under the floor of the warehouse. As the magnet runs around, it will attract the steel bearing and the forklift will sit on top of said bearing and get pulled around the warehouse! Maybe put the bearing in the pallet so the forklift gets pulled and stays in a forward direction... Even tho forklifts are rear-wheel steer, I think the effect of moving forklifts will outshine the fact that they aren't steering quite right. especially in N scale!
@@Cheesy_33 Well then idk what you mean. 90% of both of the channels' is them making their own puzzles and solving them then making harder puzzles and solving those.
I’m a mechanical engineer who designs web-fed printing presses. Some highly complex continuous-web paper paths are present in industrial printing and converting equipment. Some so complex and compact that they cannot be re-threaded by hand and require special tools and automated chain/sprocket systems to pull the paper along its path. This video reminded me of the challenges we face at work.
I'm an electrician at a large scale web fed printing company. I'm curious about this because I didn't think there were any manufacturers building new machines. The couple that are left mostly just do refurbished or used machinery. We scratched our R&D division long ago. You must be one of the last engineers left in this particular industry.
@@n16161 Why are such crazy complex mechanical systems even still being created, when everything is digital and easily printed without over the top complex systems? Seems like an outdated design.
This would make for a really interesting puzzle game! I can even imagine after beating each level an animation like 4:16 would play and you could watch the chain snake its way through the maze
I like how much personality is in these videos despite the fact that there is no talking and no face present. Also the way that dot is moving around reminds me of a toy I had when I was really young, and this brought back a feeling of nostalgia for me
@@MrHack4never I mean if you have a look at the proper big iMax cinemas that use a 70mm film reel they have a little bit of a mechanism that is pretty cool, sometimes the iMax will even send the film reel up a few floors via pulleys and stuff and all the way back down depending on the setup of the projector.
What do you do for a living because all of these projects are so intricate it’s mind blowing are you an engineer or something and also do you plan out your builds or troubleshoot along the way?
I thought the second half of this question was gonna be "... Because Lego is expensive and these projects are time consuming, you must have a lot of money and free time" 🤣
@@HonkingHankHill69 his videos may be monetized and get millions of views but they definitely don't bring in enough money considering how infrequent he uploads. Edit: NVM.

I really liked how you were exploring different layouts of your drive chain around the obstacles, under different conditions! You are ingenious! This is an awesome Physics and Mechanical Engineering video, symbolising how gear ratios, velocity ratios, chain tension and mechanical efficiency work in tandem! Thank you for sharing this video!

Every one of these Lego channels I've seen is unique and demonstrates very creative use of basic physics. This one also is no exception. Thanks for posting your work. You are learning the basic elements of design, construction, trouble shooting and so on. It would interesting to see where you are in a few years.
I really like what you are doing at 3:05. When working on a problem it is easy to come up with a solution that works and stop there, but going through the process of improving it on other levels is very time consuming. I really enjoy this kind of stuff. Including failed mechanisms and the long testing process makes the solution so much more satisfying.
"TOM! When are we going to get those shipments in?" "As soon as the conveyor belt makes one full rotation." "Alright, when will it do that?" "I DON'T KNOW SIR!"
low laps first drs zone doesn’t have an overtaking opportunity due to the tight bend into the next, maybe a good one with the next zone, but then it would just be a drs overtaking track like monaco or imola (new cars old tracks don’t work 😢) if the cars were smaller than the right hand side could be pretty interesting but it would never work in a million years with an f1 car. i need a life
honestly, if i could get something like that with a quiet motor and some kind of decorated chain, it would make a neat little decorative thing, watching the sole white dot get tugged around was pretty nice
Now this is what lego is about. Engineering builds to test peices and learn more about its workings and discover potential new build techniques by pushing a peice to its limits. Amazing thing that lego is.
Computers are just really fancy physics, so it's difficult but not impossible. Perfectly doable, and probably slightly easier than you think. Especially if your focus is not a perfect simulation.
make it a game where you take turns, one person puts down a 4x1 block and the other has to solve it. switch every other round, no impossible things (you have to be able to do it yourself) whoever fails to do it loses board game btw
People might think that you just have too much time on your hands, but I see it differently. You are experimenting with Lego in a way that can be helpful to people trying to learn about these types of problems, and I'm sure there have been a number of people who have learned to do their jobs better after watching some of your videos. In fact, you are probably learning a lot about engineering yourself from your own experiments. Anyway, keep up the good work. Also, have fun with it.
Man, listening to this video in the background is oddly soothing, lol. "Tik, tuk, tik, tuk, tik, tuk, tik, tuk, tik, tuk, whirIRirIRirIRirIRirIRirIRirIRir"
Those outro shots got me thinking - what would these look like under thermal imagining cameras? Would be fascinating to see where the friction is building up!
This world is rapidly passing away and I hope that you repent and take time to change before all out disaster occurs! Belief in messiah alone is not enough to grant you salvation - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36) if you believed in Messiah you would be following His commands as best as you could. If you are not a follower of Messiah I would highly recommend becoming one. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life - Revelation 3:20. Contemplate how the Roman Empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13 over the course of 1260+ years. Revelation 17 confirms that the beast is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years going back to Babylon and before, C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate once you start a relationship with God. Can't get a response from God? Fasting can help increase your perception and prayer can help initiate events. God will ignore you if your prayer does not align with His purpose (James 4:3) or if you are approaching Him when "unclean" (Isaiah 1:15, Isaiah 59:2, Micah 3:4). Stop eating food sacrificed to idols (McDonald's, Wendy's etc) stop glorifying yourself on social media or making other images of yourself (Second Commandment), stop gossiping about other people, stop watching obscene content etc. Have a blessed day!
I love how the video unexpectedly turns into a music video. It’s as if the creator worked on it so long he started hallucinating and shared his vision.
This man is gonna be that one engineer that mechanics cuss out when they're fixing a car because of the fever dream level of complexity in the routing of the chain
Put a little legoman on the chain instead of the white chainlink, then you have a legoman running around a maze. Oh, better. Put a magnet on the chain. Then cover everything with ground plates and put another magnet on the legoman. So you see him running around on the ground plate. You could even simulate driving cars with this.
this reminds me of the old water powered factories where a huge wheel would get geared down that was powered by a river, and would drive a SUPER long belt that snaked around the roof of an entire factory. any equipment that needed rotary power would just take power from the belt that was constantly spinning (using a clutch or tension pulley). pretty terrible efficiency but an awesome choice to work without any electricity
You can do some super cool Rube Goldburgh machines with this chain, your driveshaft videos, your gear videos, and all otherworldly engineering knowledge you have
Hahaha ok woah I see you Mr. legendary kaleidoscope color shifting visuals man, very well done, easily my favorite part, I did really love the process though, very impressive.

"TOM! When are we going to get those shipments in?"
"As soon as the conveyor belt makes one full rotation."
"Alright, when will it do that?"
"I DON'T KNOW SIR!"
Amazing vidéo, as usual.
Also, at 5:04 : the path made by the belt would make a great F1 track. With lots of curves and straight lines for DRS zones.
I thought thought the same, i was like damn thatd be fun to race around
Itd be really cool but also really long, might have to lower the number of laps or something
low laps first drs zone doesn’t have an overtaking opportunity due to the tight bend into the next, maybe a good one with the next zone, but then it would just be a drs overtaking track like monaco or imola (new cars old tracks don’t work 😢) if the cars were smaller than the right hand side could be pretty interesting but it would never work in a million years with an f1 car.

I see TV competition show between colleges promoting STEM in education, that would actually be watched by millions, sponsored by Lego of course.

Well done, OP.
Even the people at Lego must be watching this in order to get inspired and be amazed (wow, didn't know Lego could do this)
I think I was an architect in a past life or my life's calling was to be an architect, these videos heal my soul thank you
This should be an official set. It looks really fun to try and solve for yourself
Yes
absolutely magnificent
Loved that little synthwave performance at the end :D
Lego Store : "So how many chain links will you need ?"
Brick Tech : "Yes."
The white dot on the chain was a nice touch, made it easier to visualize

You could even simulate driving cars with this.
This guy doesn't need puzzle games. Puzzle games need him.
i could watch this for literally days without getting bored in any kind of way
I would love this as an actual tabletop game!! This is SO COOL.
If only there's a game that rewards you a pleasant fever dream cutscene after you finished the last level of the chapter
the kaleidoscope effect was a nice touch.
this reminds me of the old water powered factories where a huge wheel would get geared down that was powered by a river, and would drive a SUPER long belt that snaked around the roof of an entire factory. any equipment that needed rotary power would just take power from the belt that was constantly spinning (using a clutch or tension pulley). pretty terrible efficiency but an awesome choice to work without any electricity
The little white dot to follow makes this 1000x more satisfying to watch
This could be a phone app game thing that is fun then gets over crowded with adds until you delete it. I love it.
Not gonna lie the idea of a gears and chain labyrinth being turned into a puzzle solving video game would be a unique & cool concept.
This almost feels like a mobile game ad. I kept expecting there to be one with an obvious solution that he inexplicably would fail to find.
I literally cried at that beautiful art show. Thank you
Brilliant.... It was like watching someone play a mobile puzzle game 😅. Would love to see more of this in future. Maybe bigger and way more complex 😍
I've never been able to connect with ASMR videos but this right here really gets my noggin tickling!
I was vibing hard during that montage
This is my favorite of your videos just for the bit after the final level
I'm glad I stayed for the whole video... you really treated us at the end there!
love the experimental visual effect. Pleas focus in future for that look so speacel! It would be a nice intro!
Quite possibly the most expensive subject material in all of UA-cam. Brillant!
You can do some super cool Rube Goldburgh machines with this chain, your driveshaft videos, your gear videos, and all otherworldly engineering knowledge you have

I could see the end appearing in one of Ault Swim's "Off The Air" series, love it.
Hahaha ok woah I see you Mr. legendary kaleidoscope color shifting visuals man, very well done, easily my favorite part, I did really love the process though, very impressive.
The final bit is genuinely one of my favorite moments in youtube history
i know have a newfound appreciation for the reliability of the timing belts in our cars engines
That outro. Unexpected but awesome!!
your videos scratch an itch in my brain i didnt even know i had. love these
Didn't realize that all I needed to see reality unfold was a cool Lego chain maze
This was pretty satisfying at first, then it became REALLY satisfying.
I just realized that that would make a good puzzle simulator! In fact we can teach engineering through puzzles with increasing complexity!
Whew, a few of those really threw me for a loop. I'm glad I clicked on this link!
The ending reminded me of a song because of the vibe and the black and yellow. "Stealth Playback - Vintage"
This is hands down the greatest entertainment I have ever been blessed with.
Who edits these videos should be rewarded ! Coolest lego content on youtube, coolest outro !
The last 100 seconds of this video are what i can only imagine deserves a title like “i got high while building legos”
Please consider how many individual chain links this man suffered through to make this.
you should try to glue a small magnet on the white dot, put a cardboard racing track on top of it all and let a small metal car do it's thing ;)
The end of the video is the best part
