Nah. Just collecting information that will save many axles in the future. Now we know anything below 5:1 is totally safe. Or... maybe a little revenge also. :)
MixZ they weren't saying that it was needed to make this video any good, they were saying it'd be, well, neat. Because seeing the temperature rise as the test went on would've been neat.
I still have most of my Legos from the 70's and 80's and the axles used to be made of a much harder material than they are these days. Which would probably result in them snapping and sending shrapnel :)
I was wondering about this. Most if not all of my Technic pieces are from Bionicle and Mindstorms NXT, and they seem a lot more rigid than the one in the video.
I’ve never been really interested in engineering, or how gears work. But my god I’ve been poring over these videos. They are so interesting, even with no audio, no music/voice over. I’m truly fascinated by these experiments
Because you incrementally increase the ratio, I think it softens the plastic. I'd like to see the highest ration of torque on a fresh (never twisted) axle.
u dont read it huh? just commenting while not reading what ur replying to i said that its NOT SCARY AND THAT I SAW EVERYONE OFF THESE COMING BEFORE THEY CAME
There was this one time I was messing around with lego mindstorm and decided to test out the program and the next thing I knew parts were flying all over the place. That is when I knew that I succeeded in making a lego bomb
because in the back of your mind you know that that lego deserved it, that it should be broken as a sign to all other Legos to stop the acts of violence
back when i was in FLL we made a really heavy robot for the season with a 1:2 gear ratio to help haul it along and near the middle of the season we were switching out our wheels and noticed that our axles had bent near the middle and twisted just a bit. After that, we had to make sure to replace our axles constantly and also added more support to the ends of the wheels.
Those axles are strong. I have a massive creation I call the "Respectable Sitting Duck" which rests on wheels, so I can move it if necessary. This thing is built in sections, and the third section probably weighs fifteen pounds. It is about six inches wide, a foot at the widest point, and two and a half feet tall. The wheels use regular axles, and the things bear the stress. On that same section is a one foot axle that is used as a support rod, and there is a platform on top of it. It is connected to regular column pieces too, but not at that corner. An important note is that this thing was not designed to get this big. Whenever I found a way to make it bigger, I would. So, it is not like I planned on how to make an axle work here, it just does. An even more important note is that the creation is in no way related to ducks. I just thought the name was funny. It is just a big crawler of sorts, with eight different sections. The third is the biggest and heaviest, the seventh is the tallest, the sixth is the longest, the eighth is the widest, and the fourth is the smallest (and sturdiest). The first section sits in the middle, and all of the sections connect to at least two other sections, but no more than three. There are all sorts of fun pieces. Lots of flags, gates, doors, kitchens/restaurants, cranes, elevators, conveyor belts, stair cases, and interesting compartments and rooms. There is the dynamite storage room, the second section bar and restaurant, the third section garden, the picnic area, the runway, the launch structure, the garage, and the sixth section warehouse. This thing basically is like a city on wheels.
Funny to think how black dye is usually just really really dark blue/green. You can see it when the plastic stretches out and lightens the concentration
Here's an idea: Lego alternatives like Mouldking have carbon reinforced axles. How about giving those a spin? They sound like they would shatter into pieces, but after applying tremendous force. Could be a fun experiment.
They actually do a twist recovery test on a sample from each batch. They do two twists in both directions at 100-120nm. The tested spindle is expected to return to true straight with less than 1% deviation or the batch fails. Or at least thats what the test was six years ago when I worked for LEGO. They'd probably love to see this video, they could save thousands on tooling building test rigs out of in-house components.
Taolan8472 God the level of detail that Lego puts into their products never ceases to amaze me and make me feel like there are companies that still care about their products.
They literally do a butter test. They take a random sampling of bricks from each batch, test that they snap together and hold and come apart, then redo the test after slathering them in butter. To test whether or not the bricks still work after a kid gets them covered in food mess
Seeing a lego twisted like that makes me scared for the power this man has

Takes up more space, but at least for Lego is easier to make softer. I still like to use torsion bars.
