The Super Awesome Micro Project: A full sized Lego car, with an engine made from Lego that runs on air.
It is the brainchild of Melbourne entrepreneur and marketing guy Steve Sammartino (twitter @sammartino) and Raul Oaida (twitter @rauloaida), a self-taught teenage technology genius from Romania who Steve met on the internet.
Steve crowd funded it via twitter with a single tweet: / 174843327961776128
Super Awesome Micro Project Factoids:
- The engine is made from standard Lego pieces and runs on air!
- The engine has four orbital engines and a total of 256 pistons.
- More than 500,000 LEGO pieces.
- Top speed around 20-30km (We drive it slow as are scared of giant lego explosion)
- Built in Romania and shipped to a secret location in Melbourne.
- It's a Hot Rod design, mainly because hot rods are cool.

When you get into a crash with it, you can just rebuild it without having to go to the mechanic.
yah and if it ever goes fast enough you will be in the emergency room with legos up your ass, in your eyes, in your chest, in your mouth lol
12cwell
xDD
Imagine trying to walk away from that one. Poor feet.
... and rebuilding it would take a lot of days.
I
I can only Imagine how freaking stressful this would be if he broke a part inside the engine.
More stressful that having to redesign and rebuild a 3 speed transmission because of a torque flaw (I had to in 2020)
Imagine if the gears breake.
The fact that you made not only the chassis and body out of lego, but the engine as well is absolutely astounding
Thanks we are super proud of that.
@@SuperAwesomeMicro you should be immensely proud of this
Police:let me see your licence
Driver:*shows up lego 10x4 brick*
DE REL Brick to another brick ok, this person needs a medal!!!
lol
policeman is unable to read the blocky numbers and says "could you please apply some antialising please? this or you get a nice hand drawn non blocky ticket"
@@michaelangelotablante9246hahaha yeah, the worst is that the ticket you will get will have nuce numbers full anti aliased so they are certain that you know what you are going to pay. :/
Police pulls over full sized lego car and looks at life sized lego figure drivin (Actually a guy in a suit.
Did you seriously add music and not let us hear that lego engine?
Here you can hear one of the orbital engines used in the car: /watch?v=vs386R2KVBA Enjoy!
Petru M. That is where I came from
ua-cam.com/video/vs386R2KVBA/v-deo.html
ChannelNotFound The car itself sounds like a broken belt on a normal car engine it just squeaks a lot because of the air being compressed it's not like it's some massive engine that has flames coming out of it.
So just to clarify the most eco friendly car in the world is from Lego......I love this planet :D
LOL
Yeah, because plastic is soo eco friendly...
doenervich It was a joke my friend.....relax
If I drive it... I will break the steering wheel while doing a drift xD and might break some stuff what is the weight capacity... If it' under one hundred then I'm not buy or make
Can I get one, how ya, I don't want one lolz
"Dey see me rolling, they staring, wondering how the hell the car works."
+The Zachvolt ROFLMAO!!!!
+The Zachvolt XD
+The Zachvolt lol dey too confused to hate - rofl
+Yoflame360 I know, jeez, I was making a joke.
The Zachvolt he's probably german...lol.
imagine the building instructions for this
Imagine the box it would come in
think if you buy this for a 10 year old they MIGHT get it done by 16 XD, here son you want a car..... build it... XD
+Brandon Bates hahahaha 😂😂
imagine the price tag
scott lewson $1,000,000 XD
The engine is impressive.
Thank you! it took 1 year of R&D to make it happen.
@@vinciverse how does it work exactly? I saw some vacuum engines already but air patrons?
I'm waiting anxiously for Euro NCAP safety tests :))
Probably like a Tesla Model S.. 5,5/5 stars hahah!
Go over a speedbump
Clonix we did that once..... didn't end well....
Steve Sammartino Are you saying glue was not used?
Cool project fellas.
Injun Mick Bring forth...THE KRAGLE!
XD
buddhaman001 omg
costs of million pieces of lego = cost of the real car
even so, a job well done :)
Probably
+SakuraBlossomable Its not worth it when alot of legos cost more than your avarge car. It is a cool project, but really.
+alexander daniel definitely.... cost way more than a car.... but hey, you know that wasn't the point :-)
Steve Sammartino Was the point to show off his cool invention? Other than that, it seem pointless
SakuraBlossomable 500,000+ LEGO pieces
So that's where all the pneumatic pistons went lol
The fact that its made from lego's is all fine and dandy but I'm more concerned with the fact that it runs on air and no one is trying to capitalize on that......
It compresses air not use it
It's using compressed air to move right?
Like a steam train but with air yeah
So what point were you trying to make initially?
I was trying to say it doesn't consume air
wow slow down buddy, nearly killed that child at the side of the road. and i bet you got no insurance!!
Yep - no insurance! - we were flying at a slow jog pace....
should have made a real car with your engine bro... you can make billions doing that...
+Gamer Radio no he couldn't it would go like .2 mph
Blame USA the thing goes 5 MPH
Sam rc it tops out at 17-18 mph on flat ground
I hope it comes with air-bags... made of Lego bricks.
+Chenging101 :))
+Cheonging101 hihi
I think that would hurt... WHO CARES ITS LEGO!!!
+Cheonging101 Then they would have to be renamed "Death Bags"
hehe
lol you just lived your childhood dream! XD
Why are we not funding this. ???
***** @ ridiculously overprices yes?
My child hood dream was to build a big house made from legos... good times
Never thought I'd find you here Doom
I keep running into u doom
For as much as they charge for legos you could probably get a regular car cheaper.
***** if you don't mind driving 10 years to get down the street sure lol. gasoline is good fuel/volume. that is fact, though i know there is a better way.
Sitruc the gas prices are ok! I mean you're getting liquid dinosaurs which EXPLODE when lit on fire! How awesome is that?
Shivalah Firios Lmao that's the greatest explanation I could imagine! However, now that I think about it, it's just a little sad.
s0medudeonline Not if you realize the dinos would eat you and your family. BURN THEM IN YOUR V8!
this was all done in fun im sure...y'all talking like these kids are trying to change the game with legos.
This is how you get people to wear shoes while driving 😂
Question is, Does it get bitches?
Yes it will get lego bitches
+DJ BADA BOOM Hey Bitches! Lego to my house. :,)
+DJ BADA BOOM AHAHHAHA
+Exodus Acez LOL IKR
hahahah i almost die
"Hey man what kind of engine you got in that thing?"
"A 300,000 small block Lego motor"
can you imagine if this was mass produced? people would crash into each other on purpose
Good thing is you won't need a mechanic. Any 10 year old boy would be able to make necessary repairs.
lol
not true, a 10year old kid would not be able to comprehend the workings of this. This was build by a teen or adult. lego is not very different from, chess, math, mechanics ect, which are all puzzles, there are rules and you need achieve something within those rules, whether they are the laws of thermodynamics, math, or board game rules, lego pieces fit a certain way, those are the rules. Its just that lego is funner to play with than do math lol. Thats why the things kids make are not as amazing as things adults make out of lego, the longer you do it the more proficient you get.
Dupa Krowa smartass
Jaime Taylor dumbass
I know
This looks so amazing. When I was much younger, I was dreaming to build a life size car like it was shown in this video but my dream still haven't came true yet.
They see me rollin, they hatin
if a kid made this, could he drive it without a liscence? coz technically he's just playing with his toy :P
i think walking would be faster lol
coz you know.. you dont have much of a chance of getting away from the cops on that.. xD
I don't think you need a licence for a vehicle slower than 4 mph like a wheelchair, mower, or powered wheelbarrow, at least in the UK anyway.
It would need to go >30mph or produce >2hp (by Indiana law)
Nathan Dance a wheelchair is faster
This is the future of cars.
Masterfully done!
Could you imagine a head on collision with that thing? Lego pieces and guts everywhere.
the worst part is if you crash, you have to build the whole thing all over again.
The best part is if you crash the front you could remove a door to fix it.
Stefan Constantin Dumitrache And no need to go to the body shop LOL
For those of you wondering what that rotating rectangular prism between the seats is, it is a drive shaft. And the reason why you don't see it between the seats of a regular car is because it is under the car. A reason why this one isn't is because he probably didn't have room.
Can you imagine the expression:
'He broke his car in a million pieces in a 45 mph freak accident at the groceries store corner.'
...coming true!
Well half a mil
And I thought stepping on a LEGO hurt. Wait until you get into a crash with this..
Why on earth have people disliked this video? This is pure genius. Jealousy perhaps?
of couse why else would they?
Because they work at Statoil ... :P
What dislikes?
For those who are not into aftermarket legos, FYI those LEGO pistons are over $10 each. Just those pistons would cost a monumental amount.
Million dollar
Man, this new lego set sure is lit
Very impressive, of course now I want to know more. How the hell does it work?
4 Orbital Engines, 256 pistons with compressed air
It runs on air
I'm not too sure but just search Lego car that runs on air it should be a mini version but it will let you understand
Hey mum, I know what I want for Christmas!
Lol
A horse?
A gf
Some legos boiiiiiiiii
I love you people for creating this.
This is both amazing and ridiculous.
Getting into a car accident with this thing would probably be the coolest sight ever. I can imagine lego pieces flying all over the place.
the blood covered lego pieces.
Haha, totally forgot about the blood splatter! I mean, the driver's completely vulnerable in this car, they're easily prone to fatal collisions. But then again, this wasn't intended for public transportation, at least on roads, so the chances of "accidentally" getting rammed into by a car is next to impossible.
***** sayed the people too before they got him with thunder :/
Life-size LEGO car with a LEGO engine running on not-LEGO air. Just... well... awesome.
Now to add mindstorm and make it self driving.....
My daughters' opinion: That was great and cool!
"It's a hotrod design, mainly because hotrods are cool.", i agree with you.
One slow drive for man, One giant leap for legokind
That collision, if he crashed would be a mess...
That's amazing.. Simply amazing what some one can do when they just get down to it... kudos to these guys for doing this..
Incredible!
It is a fine line between genius, and has-lots-of-time-and-money.
legend of a man !!! Appreciate meeting you in person & look forward to working with you soon 😁
And imagine when he crashes. "Hold on guys, I gotta put it back together!"
Still not the craziest thing done after drinking 40 bottles of Patron.
damn u guys shud really do something big with this revolutionary invention. This thing has a lot of potential.All the best guys
I just noticed how hard it was to build this because I watched this when I was a kid
i'd be worried about random people taking lego pieces out of my engine when its parked outside.
Science + lego + engineering = Fucking awesome lego car. SCIENCE!
Love those little pistons.
Mario Iamweird yep, they are mesmerising to watch...
The box for that set must be huge
life.exe has stopped working
The man was never seen from again, a missile blew him and the car up. The missile conveniently had the shell logo on the side of it.
You're wrong! It clearly said "Exxon research dept."
Now thats how you drive in style
And it runs only using air, if it wasn’t mentioned in the video. It’s amazing I just built a V4 in LEGO with pneumatic air cylinders and this car takes it to the next level holy crap
R O M Â N I A !
Costs more than a real car.
Imagine someone driving down the street with that
Holy cow that is the coolest thing I have EVER SEEN!!!! ☺
Film spoiled by the music... at the very least we needed to listen to the engine without distraction.
This is AWESOME!! Well done guys!
now you have a perfect car to drive to school with
Great lego car!
The lack of skepticism in the comments is disturbing.
What?
A random man came up to me the other day and threw a handful of lego at me!
I really don't know what to make of it.
The only car where you wouldn't dare to drive barefoot.
i wana see two of these crash into eachother! :o
Soooo some crazy people can build that thing out of lego, but professional car builders can't build an efficient car without fossil fuel?
What the hell.
That looks amazing. Imaging going to the store in that
Dude you should take that to a car show
Now feed 3 air compressors into that thing and watch it take off
nyoom
I wonder how fast the Stig can drive this round the track.
A perfect car for James May's lego house.
Now that is something to see.
And the best part is, if you have a crash, you can always put it back togeather! Providing that you have the instruction manual.
put it back together
no
Boże święty, to prawdziwy geniusz, piękny projekt już bardzo dawno nie widziałem nic tak genialnego i pięknego. MISTRZ !
Wow that is so cool I never seen a fully functional Lego car before
thanks ;-0)
Now you need to take it to the drive-thru
Faith in humanity= Restored.
do you need a license for that beast?
This is one of the coolest things I've seen!!
thanks
Who ever stepped on a lego brick knows that the seats cannot be comfy. :D
I still have stud marks in my ass 7 years later after driving it
Cool to see the quad-copter camera at 1:21 :) I didn't see the rest!!
Imagine one day cars will be completely self assembled out of Legos.
actually, one day cars might be self-assembled by nano-bots :-P
b1tstr3am yeah most likely.
on of the tests you will need to take before you drive is to construct your own functioning lego car, and that will be your first ever car :P
pythontrolls229 XD YES!! I would be like "I was born ready to do this"
Thomas Cruz how's your brother nikolas doing in prison?
Wow! Great project!
A pro gamer move would be to make the wheels 100% lego
I hear big oil put a hit out on him...
Dude… Now I'm scared and won't sleep tonight ;-)
Am I the only one more intrigued by the fucking UFO following him at 1:20?
That's just a remote control camera following him, but yeah, it's pretty cool. I've seen at Brookstone and they're like $370. ouch.
Nah, you're not only one, but actually this thing is common already. It is called quadrocopter, and you can buy it even as a "camera" for iPhone.
why did i get this recommended to me 6 years from when this got uploaded
I remember seeing this for the first time it was amazing.
good now we have car what doesn't use fuel :D
Compressed air is the fuel also this car appears to have a max speed of 5 mph
it doesn't use fuel but it does use air to power it which means there's millions of oxygen atoms contained in the millions of engines they had to build so if this came into mainstream production it would cause the same affects except this time we are making it worse with the lose of air
You're kidding me, you literally just said that engine is destroying air. Its running on compressed air most likely. Also it doesn't have millions of engines, if you look very closely.
Ts using a vacuum...
Neon Games Lol! "Lose of air"
Wow! Simply amazing!
Nice! Had to like and subscribe!
If you even slightly come in contact with a wall or tree that whole thing is coming apart I hope you super glued those on
How many pages is the instruction book?
Aha. :P
Over 9000 pages
