- There is a lot to say about this video.
1. It was created from the contents of 3+ hours of live streaming. You can also check out a super cut of the original live streams here: • Bending Bricks - EP1 -...
2. Access to the original live streams is available to my patrons on Patreon ( / brickbending )
3. The raw footage for this video had a number of issues because of #1 -- camera auto white balance, auto focus, and intermittent lag to name a few. All things considered I consider the final product here a huge win.
4. A fantastic video editor did 99% of the heavy lifting on this video, and worked some serious magic with rough raw materials. Go check out Zeke at his channel: / @zekromzeke
5. This build is 100% legal. Go figure.
6. I hope you like orange.

@user-eo6wh1ky3o thank you AGAIN! This is your second Super Thanks, and I'm very, very, very grateful. You can make a safe guess what I will spent this on. 😂🙏☺

I will always support a fellow Lego playmate!!!
You can't make a beacon out of copper blocks
I think it should tho, make copper just slightly more useful, but they rarely implement shit like that unfortunately
lol
@@thefanfinfulo I think it'd be too cheap, but hey, Minecraft is already an unbalanced mess so idk
@@Mulakulu that's true ngl, maybe make it have a weaker buff but it would be pretty useless altogether
@@Mulakuluis copper that much more common that iron? (I haven't played in years)
Thank you for always understanding the dire importance of "ok let's give it a quick spin"
I feel it in my bones!
SPIIIIIIIINNNNNNN
I think this is the most legal build he's done so far. Well done!
Was looking for this comment.
I don't wholly understand the cut-offs. Is this a fully legal build?
@@xxPenjoxxyes there’s no unnecessary tension on it
Yea, honestly disappointed by this channel. It's called brick BENDING. Jeez (I'm joking, love the video)
@xxPenjoxx yeah, it is fully legal. A build is "illegal" if it bends or stresses pieces, like putting a plate between studs pushes the studs apart and this causes damage. This build is fully on the grid and all properly clicked together, and thus legal.
I tapped the screen to double check that the video was finishing up since the build was getting so big.
The video was halfway.
I wanna see someone do a calculation of how many individual bricks it would take to make this the same size as the Pyramid of Giza, and at what point the bricks at the tip could collapse under the weight.
Or if faced up how many brick till the bottom deformed from the weight
Well, we can assume that the first point of failure will be the very bottom 2x2 pad of bricks. The compressive strength of Lego is up to 4240 Newtons, or 432.6 kg. The description of this build says that there are 1222 "assemblies" of three pieces and that the entire thing is 4.44 kg, so each assembly is 3.63 g.
As a result, a pyramid could have a maximum of 119064 assemblies without breaking.
This pyramid uses the following sequence for the total number of assemblies per floor (shifted by one) OEIS A002623
This tells us that the pyramid could have a maximum of 111 floors before the bottom brick gave out.
@@staskuzmenko Nice work.
@@staskuzmenko - Very interesting. What would it be if it was the right way up? The load would surely be much more spread?

I do like orange, but had it been dark grey, and with a proper background and lighting, it would have looked like a Tyrell Corporation building

If anyone is wondering how the decision making mechanic in games like Fallout 4 or Skyrim looks like in a physical form, this is it.
I love this! But....
The pyramid only buckled because it was spun. I don't think (at least it doesn't look like from the vid) it was the weight that did it, but the lateral force from the pyramid tipping over.
While impractical to do, I think the true test would be how many blocks it takes to make the bottom layer buckle while stationary.
Truth. If I secure more 2x3 inverted slopes I will continue the experiment.
@@BrickBending Sweet!
The thing with pyramids is by nature of the design when you have the biggest side on the bottom, the shape does a really good job of dispersing the weight so it does a really good job of holding stable. I feel like if there’s a point where it buckles under its own weight that’ll actually be the plastic itself failing rather than the construction. But who knows
It feels like I asked you "How many of these orange pieces do you have??", and your answer was "Yes....".
I love how eldritch it looks!
These videos are always so satisfying and relaxing.
Every time I watch one of these videos, I keep thinking this guy probably single-handedly spikes the prices of single pieces lol
The view from the side reminded me of a Sierpinski triangle, and now I want to see how many permutations a proper Sierpinski triangle version could make it to. I’d guess it would only make it to three, since each permutation is more than double the size of the last and with bigger voids each time it would be less sturdy as well, but maybe the reduced weight would let it get bigger anyway.
He discovered parametric architecture without a computer. This makes him a true artist. He dedicated his ‘computer’ bending lego.
I wish this was 6 hours long
"Lego click" is definitelly in top 10 most satisfying sounds.
5:45 Either there's a weird lighting artifact, or some of the layers aren't properly pressed down. I figure it's the former, but if it were the latter, it would have altered the forces exerted on the subsequent layers of bricks a little. A little force in the wrong direction can make or break a build. I don't know if it's possible to make it completely sound structurally, but you did really well for a very big challenge you set yourself! Well done! 😁👍
Imagine how stable this would be if you built it upside-down.
I love how he doesn't forget to play with the build properly.
This is very impressive but now I’m curious if it’s possible to do the opposite with regular 2x3 slopes and make a giant octahedron
This guy is so good at building creations
You must be the most patient person on UA-cam. My brain would explode if I had to do the same thing a thousand times in a row.
I read the title as "How big can an introverted lego pyramid get"
What about a 3D snake skin belt arrangement? That might keep it lighter and no less strong.
When he keeps adding layers I think “did he go on a shopping spree at Temu”
Just sent you a “thanks” from one Lego genius to another!!😊
Many, many thank yous my friend. 🙌
imagine what a city would look like on this or a roman gladiator ring on top
I’m imagining how clean it would look if the tiles were 2x4 and covered all of the studs.
I would assume it could go infinitely given the tension doesn't tear apart any of the individual pieces
I sent the last half of the video wondering what it would look like if it was flipped over. Left with having to turn my phone upside down to find out.
Make a Sierpenski fractal out of this!
Ninjaaaa, GOOOOOOOO
When it reached 5m of hight, could you make a part two?
If it ain't bending, it ain't trending.
The fractal
does this work with twice the density of rows? meaning the 2x2’s are replaced with sets of inverted slopes
i need lego to give me this set now
The people at the Lego store are like "you want HOW MANY? please repeat that"
the only thing that would make this more satisfying is if you used 2*4 tiles on the top of each "brick" instead of 2*2 tiles. otherwise, extremely relaxing and i love it. also, in a different color pattern, it kinda looks like a dystopian housing bloc like Blade-runner or 1984 or smth
Cool
It's a fractal
Now build it recursively so each layer is made out of copies of the previous
No bricks were harmed ❤
what do you do fer a living?
this guy: i play with legos :)
Short answer: until it collapses under it's own weight.
0:35 picnic table
Geez, how many total pieces??
I have always wondered how much dose each vid cost?
What does your bracelet signify?
brick bending
At this point I think my videos have had more views from being copied and uploaded elsewhere than from the original uploads, so the bracelet is essentially a watermark people can't remove.
Ok but... Whats the answer? How big can you make it before it breaks?
3666 pieces, if I'm spinning it. But it could be larger--a story for another video.
👍
Someone stop him, he's a madman
Question: Can it get more stable by adding 1x2 tiles as reinforcement?
If I used 2x4 tiles it would definitely be stronger, although the look of the top layer wouldn't be as interesting.
@@BrickBending TYVM for reply! Tho I was thinking using secondary color in 1x2 tiles on each side instead
@@nyekomimi That would also be a very interesting look.
How is this inverted?
I am sad that he did not turn it around to let it look like an actual pyramid for one moment :(
The Las Vegas Pyramid?
i remember watching the stream
Glad you could be there 🙌
i've always wonderd if these lego build chanels are sponsored by lego or have an obscene amount of money
Usually the latter.
How many bricks?
This looks like something made by the Tyrell Corporation 😂
Sierpiński’s Lego set
Brickcursion
If it wasn't for the spin, you might've kept going. I don't think you're finished yet. 😁
Not nearly large enough
ain’t this uhh the kevlar fraction
Mine is very small you can't see it!
Smash.
Watched your livestream of this event. No less impressive now than then
Thanks for being there! 🙌

but can you stand on it
Nope
