All had the people working on them disappear. The number of times this happened is probably in the hundreds. Either way, I was just making a joke about it. Pretend you don't know all you want.
@@GawkGawk5000 Do you wanna refuel your car with the size of a truck every 3 minutes with air 🤦♂️ Pressured air requires more energy than anything else. You would need pumps that are powered from electricity or oil!
Can people like you finally stop using that pathetic ancient way of commenting thinking you're still so edgy and cool? "Can we just appreciate blablablabla"
ok as someone who's worked on semi's before, it really made me smile to see how you wired the air up in the frame of the trailer, as real semi's have something very similar as they use air brakes. amazing.
@@rubindublone5932 That would require adding an unnecessary system just for the brakes with more things and parts that could fail. Also, that would require a pump for pumping the brake fluid all the way to the brake system on the trailer. Compressed air is produced as a byproduct from running the engine anyway so it makes sense to design the truck in a way that utilizes that air. Compressed air is also much easier to transfer meaning that when you attach a trailer to a truck all you need to do is connect the trailer to the truck using an air hose which "unlocks" the brakes on the trailer once sufficient air pressure is reached. This also means that when you disconnect the trailer the brakes automatically lock up since there is no more air pressure holding them open. Oh yeah and that same air is used for the suspension both in the truck and the trailer as well not to mention for adjusting the driver's seat. :)
@@jonikoskinen5334 its not that its hard to run hydraulic brakes as there are trucks with em and special trucks like dump truck and garbage truck already have a PTO (Power take off) from either the engine or transmission with a pump attached. Its just impractical to run it that far. Just the truck would be fine but running it all the way to the trailer would just be too slow. Fluid doesnt like to move in a quick manner at times air is just quicker. Also there are quick connect hydraulic fittings
@@rubindublone5932 youd mostly use hydraulic brakes on huge vehicles that have a much higher weight than an air system can handle. Air systems usually cutout at 110 to 130 psi before the emergency relief valve pops off hydraulic hits up to 300 to 500 with a panic psi of 600.
I appreciate that you went through the trouble of not only making it look like a semi, but also making it so the engine was visible under the hood AND looked like an actual engine under a hood. I mean, yeah, it’s no v8 diesel, but there’s only so much you can do in a space that small with Lego, and you pretty much did all that could be done. Bravo.
I like this concept also. The V8 and I3 are awesome. Apparently in the 2000s, a Luxembourg French company made a car powered by compressed air. They kept on promising to release the car, but the promises were hot air. No production model ever made it on the road. Thankfully, Brick Engineering here has got a prototype that could work. ;) Also, the cat at 3:25 is adorable.
My biggest take away from engineering classes is the school is there to teach you how to teach yourself. If you want to play lego technic for the hands on practical learning aspect, go play legos! If you want to do it in a school setting, start a lego club and tell your friends to play legos with you. I am not sure how having a teacher will improve your experience but if your school is anything like mine was, use the teacher’s time before class/office hours to ask questions about side projects (like lego club). My experience was that they loved to talk about practical applications to what they were trying to teach. It shows that you are one of the maybe 10% of students that is able to digest knowledge rather than simply parrot it back.
@@troycongdon That's a utopian sounding school to me lol. In our school teachers aren't even available outside class timings and even during classes they rarely answer questions
I don’t think a lot of my friends, or anyone will agree, but this is by far one of the coolest things I’ve seen. In terms of the overal mechanics, not like explicitly the truck itself, but just that this works and can move.
This is so incredible. I love the idea of powering the truck with air and only using the batteries to accurate things and steer. You'll get way longer play time with that than just straight batteries, and it would take all of 2 minutes to recharge.
I like how you broke everything down to its basic components in this video. Not only is it a cool bit of engineering. It's also greatly communicated! I really learned something here
This is amazing! Probably the best air powered LEGO vehicle I‘ve ever seen in terms of functionality! That forwards/reverse gearbox function with the two switches is genius and actually quite simple at the same time. I’m glad that you mentioned Nicjasno and Green Gecko in this video as they’re two of the pioneers in the topic of LPE’s. I am very impressed, keep up the great work!
If you haven’t seen it already, you should take a look at the Lego Technic TRAINS channel. He’s got a pretty cool air-powered “steam” locomotive. I’d say it’s almost on par with this here
As a mechanical engineering student and someone with interest in LEGOs I really like your builds. Because it shows me that even in the most unexpected places I can still find my childhood combined with my area of expertise.
Really love the video! Epic project, the engineering process shown is also really cool. Tip from the aerospace world: we proof test pressure vessels while they're filled with water (hydrostatic testing) instead of filling it up with air all the way. It checks the stress the same way but has no explosive energy when it bursts, unlike if it is filled with air. Leak check with air ok after it has been proofed with water. Obviously not safety critical for this application but it's like the best practice that scales to things that go up to many thousands of psi of operating pressure :) Also, if you're looking for a cheap pressure vessel + regulator system to power the engines for a longer time, paintball tanks are really affordable and some are even lightweight composite overwrapped PVs (rocket technology basically). Cheers!
I don't fully understand why the water is better. You're suggesting filling up the bottle with water instead of air up to the same pressure, right? Why is water not as explosive? Are you maybe suggesting filling up the bottles partially with water? How exactly does that make it better, because there's less air that's compressed and therefore less energy stored, while still reaching the same pressure?
soft drink bottles can be taken to safely hold 120psi. forget what theyre actually rated for. more than a bike pump will reach? the tubeless schraeder valve is sort of the weak point. @@weeknieunknowing push on a steel bar. it doesnt explode, does it? until it starts bending, deforming... it will take a lot of pressure. put water in a pipe and push it, it (shouldnt) explode. acts much like a steel bar. until the pipe fails. then the water still takes up as much room outside the pipe as it did inside... everything gets wet and thats it. put enough air into a pipe to act like a steel rod... think of the pressure. it wants to go back to taking up as much room as it did before being stuffed into the pipe. only partially filling the pipe ends up with compressed air that again, wants to occupy more space outside the pipe than inside... air inside hydraulics is bad.
@@weeknieunknowing , it’s because it takes an extremely small amount of “squish” to put water under immense pressure, as compared to air A better way to think about it, imagine you had a water bottle filled with water and another one filled with air. How much would you have to squeeze the bottle with the water and the bottle with the air to make them both have 14 psi of internal pressure? Liquid’s incompressible nature means that it builds pressure QUICK, but it also dissipates that pressure quickly as well. A few drops of liquid can easily be the difference between a few psi. Air, not so much So there is no eruption with water, it’s more like a quick dribble before there’s not enough pressure to continue doing work
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ i give islam that... they dont go spamming everyone, or banging on their doors demanding a pay-out, or demand that everyone devote their life to an imaginary delusion of a few madmen from some desert in the middle of nowhere 2000 years ago...
I have a great idea! Building air-powered mechanisms with LEGO is fun, but they typically can’t operate for very long. Even the ones that last a while generally only run for about 5-10 minutes at most. My idea is to use a container made from LEGO or another material (even a bottle would work) filled with dry ice and a bit of water to generate air pressure for a much longer time. What inspired me was seeing videos on the internet where dry ice is used to explode soda bottles easily. Since this is a new project idea, I know there will be some challenges. One of the first issues that comes to mind is that dry ice will continuously increase the pressure. To manage this, the pressure chamber could have a valve that releases some of the gas once it reaches, for example, 1.3 bar. This is entirely my idea ,I don’t know if there’s an example of this online, but I think it’s really good. I am Turkish, and I used AI to translate this text into English.
This is one of the most impressive models made out of Lego I've ever seen! If you ever get the chance, it'd be neat to see you combine this with the clutch, and gearbox you created as well!
Here’s an interesting idea: Lego Airship. Not like a drone, like a 20th century blimp. Idk how doable it would be, but I think it would be really neat to see it be tried.
I made this as a final project for high school senior engineering class. We made it out of helicopter parts, trash bags, and balsa wood. My job was designing the controller! That was the moment I decided I wanted to be an engineer- I wanted to work on cool projects with cool people.
Very impressive. Everything from the design of the mechanisms to the aesthetics of the semi-truck. Am also loving how your cat just checks in on you and watches the end result. The cat be like, "Human? Are you making custom lego cars again?"
I can't afford this nor skilled enough to build it, but I was smiling like a kid watching this masterpiece get build. Undoubtedly the best Lego built I've seen
You can see he already uses parts that are made for this kind of stuff so I assume he is not designing all of this himself. You can find designs on internet. Not trying to diss on guy, I think you are just easily impressed.
You're an inspiration to LEGO Technic builders everywhere. Your creativity and skill are truly remarkable. Thank you for sharing your gift with the world.
Wow, this is the coolest RC car I've ever seen. You finally pushed me over the edge, I'm ordering lego technic. Gotta get back to the projects I left when I was 10
Air Hog built stuff like this back in early 2000s, they had a monster truck, airplane, ect that used a pneumatic engine. They were very fun but they broke gears between axel and engine due to torque. You had a short run time between pump ups as well but it was enough to be able to catch up to it. They were pretty fast.
I absolutely LOVE this. I used to drive trucks and seeing something THIS detailed, elaborate and even seeing it drive and watching you (attempt) to park it in a space like a truck was just...it made me smile from ear to ear. Truckers are often just unseen in the world, literally and figuratively, I'm definitely gonna remember this vid though, it's fantastic.
Impressive, just impressive... I don't know what's your profession, but as a Mechanical engineer here, I guarantee you that the ways you used to make the assumptions and calculations were genius... The quantity of time you've spent researching and building such engines already speaks a lot too. Maybe something similar to a turbocharger next time? Well done, always waiting for more from you !
Semi truck driver here- this creation is amazing. Having a fully transparent trailer would make my job so much easier! You've earned a sub my friend, I'm curious to see what other projects you've done!
@plutonium well semis don't have rearview mirrors; when driving, how often do you glance up to see what's behind you? Also, if you're hauling any trailer +/- 10 feet tall, your side view mirrors become obsolete if you turn more than 10° left or right. Basically semis are rolling blind spots and a majority of that is because of the trailer. Were it invisible (and the freight inside I suppose) then it would be much easier to see where the wheels are when backing up. Granted, you get used to it, but it would still make a huge difference were it invisible.
@theValkyrie maybe; but the camera needs a cable all the way to the cab for signal, plus a line for power too- and the electric pigtails aren't rated fit that, so you'll need a dedicated cab for that trailer. Then you'll need to find space on the dashboard for the screen itself. Once you've got that done, you'll have to complete for condensation on the camera lens. And if it's not condensation, it's dirt/dust, road salt, or glare from the sun obstructing the view. And above that, everything that I just described can go utterly wrong in a moments notice. And if that's the only way you know how to back the trailer you'll soon find yourself up the proverbial creek. I'm not saying it's a fully flawed idea, but I think it's more of an over-engineered and under-thought idea that flies in the face of the KISS method. Maybe in a few years when electric semis take over, it might be more prevalent.
You are an absolute madman in the best way possible. Kudos to this amazing piece of engineering that even looks and sounds incredible. I am thoroughly impressed, even after all the craziness I'm used to from your videos :)
The fact that your builds are starting to blur the line between lego parts and actual car / engine parts is awesome! Great work on this, I'm excited to see where you go from here :)
You sir, are GENIOUS! The fact that you did this with LEGO and most of the people watching, including me, could not even do it with metal parts is crazy
This reminds me of a really cool Lego set we had. It was a Lego Technic set with a truck, trailer, and pneumatic arm for picking up Lego logs! The arm even had an air pump to hold pressure in the system while you operated it! The downside is that the pump was really noisy, but it was endless fun for young me to just load and unload stuff from the trailer with the arm, not needing to touch anything but the controls.
This is officially the coolest Lego build I’ve ever seen - an impressive feat of engineering, to be sure, and creativity & perseverance. Insanely cool.
i’ve never gotten to experience testing lego pneumatics, this is a great concept! All in all, I really enjoyed the structure of this video. Keep up the great work! I also loved to see your cat ❤️
@@produced_by_bake Look at the volume of the "fuel" compared to the size and performance of the engine. Compressed-air powered full sized vehicles suffer from similar efficiency problems, and only really have any use with ultra-light aircraft, if at all.
@@michaelgplayzz that's 89 US cents lol I do commend him for even a small donation tho. always great to support people who put time and effort into their work.
I CANNOT DESCRIBE how much i love this, and that it actually SOUNDS like a Motor while its moving... cause it IS ONE.... just made with LEGOS! i wonder if this could be done for an actual Pickup?!
The issue seems to be fuel supply. That RC truck is driving around with its fuel taking up the entire trailer. Generally, we use fossil fuels because of its energy density. A relatively small volume of fossil fuel can drive a car hundreds of miles.
@@dudejo I wonder if a sealed metal container would be better instead of a bottle, you could fit much more compressed air into that bottle. Could also do with using less cylinders, maybe starving the engine a little as it doesn't wear like a petrol or diesel motor. It'll simply just slow the motor down.
@@PunkLoch a smaller, weaker engine would be feasible if the transmission had multiple gears, with on-the-move shifting. Otherwise, you basically need the bigger engine to provide sufficient launch torque. a smaller, metallic container could probably help with space, assuming a LEGO frame can handle the potential weight. Also, you'd need a stronger air pump to refuel that container.
You should start a crowd funding thing to get a system set up so you can go around to schools and educate the teachers with some of what you do and the kids would learn so much if the science behind everything was explained well by them. This wouldve been a dream to do in science when i was a kid, good work mate and big love from down under❤
Watching this for the second time, and I'm still blown away by everything about the build. The video format and editing are pretty great, too. This is easily my favorite lego-related video I have ever seen on RUclips. Keep up the great work!
These always seem like a lot of fun to make. Sadly, I'm not mechanically-minded enough to do any of this. That's okay though, since your videos are consistently fascinating and educational.
I think this is the first time Ive ever seen one of those grey T-bars actually used as a 3-way split for an air hose. Feels like they show up constantly in non-pneumatic sets for other purposes.
Consider using a soda bottle. Those bottles are usually more pressure rated due to carbonation, so they would probably hold way more than a standard water bottle. Or better yet, maybe a PVC pipe tank
Even the transfer case/ transmission is actuated by an air cylinder!! That’s amazing! The only thing I can think of to improve this would be multiple forward gears but I’m sure that would be even more complex and near impossible to fit into the truck.
For me, this was the most layman, dumbed-down, and FUN version about how an engine (internal-combustion or otherwise) works than any "...For Dummies" book I've ever picked up, lol... 😀 I totally wanna try something like this! I learned a lot, thanx! 😁
As a class A driver and a lover of legos and technics this was the absolute coolest thing I have seen in a long time. LOVED watching the development and testing.
This is frankly just incredible. Not only that this is possible with LEGO (wow), but also the sheer amount of design work that went into it as well, not to mention the aesthetics of it too!
That's actually not a flywheel but a free wheel,a type of clutch. Flywheel stores energy to make engine run smoother and free wheel prevents parts from breaking.
This is astonishing. This shows that underated people like him are all around RUclips but not discovered yet. Edit:My last two braincells did not check the sub count before commenting
“I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain, than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweat shops.”
It's amazing to see your work on engines, suspension etc come together in this project. I wonder if a chemical reaction to produce gas might a good option? I'm not sure how to control the rate of reaction but a few grams could produce dozens of times more gas than those bottles hold.
You can use some sort of inhibitor substance which will slow the rate of reaction down, or just downsize the reactants using good ol stoichiometry. As for the reactants, you could use acetic acid and baking soda to make a good enough amount of CO2. Some might suggest using sodium azide, the stuff in car airbags, but even though it could bring more gas, the pressure could be too much, but I’m not skilled enough in chemistry to know

@@jonikoskinen5334 its not that its hard to run hydraulic brakes as there are trucks with em and special trucks like dump truck and garbage truck already have a PTO (Power take off) from either the engine or transmission with a pump attached. Its just impractical to run it that far. Just the truck would be fine but running it all the way to the trailer would just be too slow. Fluid doesnt like to move in a quick manner at times air is just quicker. Also there are quick connect hydraulic fittings
@@rubindublone5932 youd mostly use hydraulic brakes on huge vehicles that have a much higher weight than an air system can handle. Air systems usually cutout at 110 to 130 psi before the emergency relief valve pops off hydraulic hits up to 300 to 500 with a panic psi of 600.
I appreciate that you went through the trouble of not only making it look like a semi, but also making it so the engine was visible under the hood AND looked like an actual engine under a hood.
I mean, yeah, it’s no v8 diesel, but there’s only so much you can do in a space that small with Lego, and you pretty much did all that could be done.
Bravo.
I like this concept also. The V8 and I3 are awesome. Apparently in the 2000s, a Luxembourg French company made a car powered by compressed air. They kept on promising to release the car, but the promises were hot air. No production model ever made it on the road. Thankfully, Brick Engineering here has got a prototype that could work. ;) Also, the cat at 3:25 is adorable.
you know, it actually _was_ an engine under the hood, thats what makes it so bloody cool and, c'mon, driving on air? how cool is that? :-D
@@danieloberhoff1 Well it depends on the source of the air in the bottle but I would imagine its room ambient temp. :)

@@ronnana694 dude that’s sick.
well why not? you are young, get off your arse and do something
My biggest take away from engineering classes is the school is there to teach you how to teach yourself. If you want to play lego technic for the hands on practical learning aspect, go play legos! If you want to do it in a school setting, start a lego club and tell your friends to play legos with you. I am not sure how having a teacher will improve your experience but if your school is anything like mine was, use the teacher’s time before class/office hours to ask questions about side projects (like lego club). My experience was that they loved to talk about practical applications to what they were trying to teach. It shows that you are one of the maybe 10% of students that is able to digest knowledge rather than simply parrot it back.
@@troycongdon That's a utopian sounding school to me lol. In our school teachers aren't even available outside class timings and even during classes they rarely answer questions
I don’t think a lot of my friends, or anyone will agree, but this is by far one of the coolest things I’ve seen. In terms of the overal mechanics, not like explicitly the truck itself, but just that this works and can move.
And it works with compressed air instead of plain electricity.

This is so incredible. I love the idea of powering the truck with air and only using the batteries to accurate things and steer. You'll get way longer play time with that than just straight batteries, and it would take all of 2 minutes to recharge.
Genuinely one of the most impressive things I have ever seen. Major props.
I like how you broke everything down to its basic components in this video. Not only is it a cool bit of engineering. It's also greatly communicated! I really learned something here
This is amazing! Probably the best air powered LEGO vehicle I‘ve ever seen in terms of functionality! That forwards/reverse gearbox function with the two switches is genius and actually quite simple at the same time. I’m glad that you mentioned Nicjasno and Green Gecko in this video as they’re two of the pioneers in the topic of LPE’s. I am very impressed, keep up the great work!
If you haven’t seen it already, you should take a look at the Lego Technic TRAINS channel. He’s got a pretty cool air-powered “steam” locomotive. I’d say it’s almost on par with this here
@@quakxy_dukx Oh yeah, right! I forgot about that one. That’s just as amazing!
I keep rewatching this video over and over again, each time feeling great child-like joy 🤩
As a mechanical engineering student and someone with interest in LEGOs I really like your builds. Because it shows me that even in the most unexpected places I can still find my childhood combined with my area of expertise.
Really love the video! Epic project, the engineering process shown is also really cool. Tip from the aerospace world: we proof test pressure vessels while they're filled with water (hydrostatic testing) instead of filling it up with air all the way. It checks the stress the same way but has no explosive energy when it bursts, unlike if it is filled with air. Leak check with air ok after it has been proofed with water. Obviously not safety critical for this application but it's like the best practice that scales to things that go up to many thousands of psi of operating pressure :) Also, if you're looking for a cheap pressure vessel + regulator system to power the engines for a longer time, paintball tanks are really affordable and some are even lightweight composite overwrapped PVs (rocket technology basically). Cheers!
I don't fully understand why the water is better. You're suggesting filling up the bottle with water instead of air up to the same pressure, right? Why is water not as explosive? Are you maybe suggesting filling up the bottles partially with water? How exactly does that make it better, because there's less air that's compressed and therefore less energy stored, while still reaching the same pressure?
@@weeknieunknowing Water isnt compressible so it wont expand when the pressure gets too high and also leaks are more visible than with air.
soft drink bottles can be taken to safely hold 120psi. forget what theyre actually rated for. more than a bike pump will reach?
the tubeless schraeder valve is sort of the weak point.
@@weeknieunknowing push on a steel bar. it doesnt explode, does it? until it starts bending, deforming... it will take a lot of pressure.
put water in a pipe and push it, it (shouldnt) explode. acts much like a steel bar. until the pipe fails. then the water still takes up as much room outside the pipe as it did inside... everything gets wet and thats it.
put enough air into a pipe to act like a steel rod... think of the pressure. it wants to go back to taking up as much room as it did before being stuffed into the pipe.
only partially filling the pipe ends up with compressed air that again, wants to occupy more space outside the pipe than inside... air inside hydraulics is bad.
@@weeknieunknowing , it’s because it takes an extremely small amount of “squish” to put water under immense pressure, as compared to air
A better way to think about it, imagine you had a water bottle filled with water and another one filled with air. How much would you have to squeeze the bottle with the water and the bottle with the air to make them both have 14 psi of internal pressure?
Liquid’s incompressible nature means that it builds pressure QUICK, but it also dissipates that pressure quickly as well. A few drops of liquid can easily be the difference between a few psi. Air, not so much
So there is no eruption with water, it’s more like a quick dribble before there’s not enough pressure to continue doing work

I have a great idea! Building air-powered mechanisms with LEGO is fun, but they typically can’t operate for very long. Even the ones that last a while generally only run for about 5-10 minutes at most. My idea is to use a container made from LEGO or another material (even a bottle would work) filled with dry ice and a bit of water to generate air pressure for a much longer time. What inspired me was seeing videos on the internet where dry ice is used to explode soda bottles easily. Since this is a new project idea, I know there will be some challenges. One of the first issues that comes to mind is that dry ice will continuously increase the pressure. To manage this, the pressure chamber could have a valve that releases some of the gas once it reaches, for example, 1.3 bar.
This is entirely my idea ,I don’t know if there’s an example of this online, but I think it’s really good.

This is, by far, my absolute favourite video on RUclips so far this year. Just incredible.
Air Hog built stuff like this back in early 2000s, they had a monster truck, airplane, ect that used a pneumatic engine. They were very fun but they broke gears between axel and engine due to torque. You had a short run time between pump ups as well but it was enough to be able to catch up to it. They were pretty fast.

Semi truck driver here- this creation is amazing. Having a fully transparent trailer would make my job so much easier! You've earned a sub my friend, I'm curious to see what other projects you've done!
how would it make it easier?
@plutonium well semis don't have rearview mirrors; when driving, how often do you glance up to see what's behind you? Also, if you're hauling any trailer +/- 10 feet tall, your side view mirrors become obsolete if you turn more than 10° left or right. Basically semis are rolling blind spots and a majority of that is because of the trailer. Were it invisible (and the freight inside I suppose) then it would be much easier to see where the wheels are when backing up.
Granted, you get used to it, but it would still make a huge difference were it invisible.
@@mrblack5145 Doesnt samsung make trailers that have cameras on the back and sides of them? I thought i read about that somewhere
@theValkyrie maybe; but the camera needs a cable all the way to the cab for signal, plus a line for power too- and the electric pigtails aren't rated fit that, so you'll need a dedicated cab for that trailer. Then you'll need to find space on the dashboard for the screen itself.
Once you've got that done, you'll have to complete for condensation on the camera lens. And if it's not condensation, it's dirt/dust, road salt, or glare from the sun obstructing the view. And above that, everything that I just described can go utterly wrong in a moments notice. And if that's the only way you know how to back the trailer you'll soon find yourself up the proverbial creek.
I'm not saying it's a fully flawed idea, but I think it's more of an over-engineered and under-thought idea that flies in the face of the KISS method. Maybe in a few years when electric semis take over, it might be more prevalent.
If Lego made this into an actual set, it'd drive so many kids into becoming mechanics and engineers.
I am utterly impressed with the ingenuity and attention to design detail. You have a talent. Thank you for sharing this.

This reminds me of a really cool Lego set we had. It was a Lego Technic set with a truck, trailer, and pneumatic arm for picking up Lego logs! The arm even had an air pump to hold pressure in the system while you operated it! The downside is that the pump was really noisy, but it was endless fun for young me to just load and unload stuff from the trailer with the arm, not needing to touch anything but the controls.
I had that set too!
This is officially the coolest Lego build I’ve ever seen - an impressive feat of engineering, to be sure, and creativity & perseverance. Insanely cool.

I CANNOT DESCRIBE how much i love this, and that it actually SOUNDS like a Motor while its moving... cause it IS ONE.... just made with LEGOS! i wonder if this could be done for an actual Pickup?!
The issue seems to be fuel supply. That RC truck is driving around with its fuel taking up the entire trailer.
Generally, we use fossil fuels because of its energy density. A relatively small volume of fossil fuel can drive a car hundreds of miles.
@@dudejo I wonder if a sealed metal container would be better instead of a bottle, you could fit much more compressed air into that bottle. Could also do with using less cylinders, maybe starving the engine a little as it doesn't wear like a petrol or diesel motor. It'll simply just slow the motor down.
@@PunkLoch a smaller, weaker engine would be feasible if the transmission had multiple gears, with on-the-move shifting.
Otherwise, you basically need the bigger engine to provide sufficient launch torque.
a smaller, metallic container could probably help with space, assuming a LEGO frame can handle the potential weight. Also, you'd need a stronger air pump to refuel that container.
You should start a crowd funding thing to get a system set up so you can go around to schools and educate the teachers with some of what you do and the kids would learn so much if the science behind everything was explained well by them. This wouldve been a dream to do in science when i was a kid, good work mate and big love from down under❤

I think this is the first time Ive ever seen one of those grey T-bars actually used as a 3-way split for an air hose. Feels like they show up constantly in non-pneumatic sets for other purposes.
I used to have a Technic truck with a pneumatic crane arm that used these.
Seeing this gives me some wonderful nostalgia...
@@operatorchakkoty4257 I used to have that one too, took it apart once and never saw those tubes again
Consider using a soda bottle. Those bottles are usually more pressure rated due to carbonation, so they would probably hold way more than a standard water bottle.
Or better yet, maybe a PVC pipe tank
Even the transfer case/ transmission is actuated by an air cylinder!! That’s amazing! The only thing I can think of to improve this would be multiple forward gears but I’m sure that would be even more complex and near impossible to fit into the truck.

The interesting thing is i've learnt a lot about real world mechanics through this. Like how a fly wheel works and so on.
That's actually not a flywheel but a free wheel,a type of clutch. Flywheel stores energy to make engine run smoother and free wheel prevents parts from breaking.
Love that it has engine sounds to match.

I wonder if a chemical reaction to produce gas might a good option? I'm not sure how to control the rate of reaction but a few grams could produce dozens of times more gas than those bottles hold.
You can use some sort of inhibitor substance which will slow the rate of reaction down, or just downsize the reactants using good ol stoichiometry.
As for the reactants, you could use acetic acid and baking soda to make a good enough amount of CO2. Some might suggest using sodium azide, the stuff in car airbags, but even though it could bring more gas, the pressure could be too much, but I’m not skilled enough in chemistry to know
