  • Is there an easy way to spin a Lego Minifigure up to 10,000 revolutions per minute? How many engines will be required for this? What gears and how many are needed to achieve high revs?
    00:00 Testing max RPM with 24 teeth and 8 teeth gears
    02:12 OK, let's test 40:24 gears
    02:52 Four XL motors and 40:8 gears

      Put some plates betwene frame and technic brics and connect technic bricks to frame by some horicontal beams or technic brisćks also if you take off frames and instead use technic bricks and plates you ´ll have much stronger base, or just slow down lol xd

    Interesting, the gears seem to have a 1:3 transmition.
    For the first ones this is roughly consistent: 200rpm, 600, 1800
    But then the increase in ratio goes down, seems as the torque goes up it slows the motor down.

    • @Kallum
      @Kallum 2 роки тому +3

      Low speeds mean there is high torque available, and vice versa. Since more torque is needed to turn the shaft due to the extensive gearing, it cuts down on speed. This is what is observed in the video. To make the transmission ratio increase constantly to 1:3, either more voltage needs to be applied over the DC motor circuit (which is not a good idea), or a second parallel motor needs to drive the circuit over a second shaft
