I love the ideas! The thing to remember with rubber bands is that the force required to stretch them decreases as they are stretched. In contrast most springs and shocks in real life are progressively harder as they reach maximum compression.
@@alecrog7925 Exactly, either physics or grammar have left the chat. Maybe he tried to explain the difference between the linear increase in force required to compress a spring VS the EXPONENTIAL increase in force to compress an AIR spring. That's the only difference there is.
that spiral worm gear could be used to make an inertia damper. They are used in extreme performance cars up and down movement translated into rotating a flywheel as a damper
The magnetic one is interesting, because for normal springs the relation is F = c * x, but I believe for magnetic fields their strength is related to the inverse of the distance squared, so F = f(1/(x^2))
If your lego vehicle is large and heavy , you can consider building a torsion bar suspension with long black axle One issue is the axle has to be very long for it to have any use and it worked pretty well on my lego tank
Strictly speaking it's a spring, not a shock absorber. It has no damping, which is what the shock absorber provides - it's usually something like a metal tube with a piston with a hole in it and filled with oil, to allow the spring to extend and compress slowly and smoothly without bouncing. There's a great demo using radio-controlled car suspension of what shock absorbers do and why it makes a difference.
Did the big shock really take that long to land, or were you messing with us? Edit: Definitely messing with us. It would've had to launch 60 meters vertically to get 7 seconds of hang time.
heres a tip for anyone looking to purchase springs to place over lego axles. to have a flawless fit, make sure to buy "0.5x(desired length)" size springs. 0.55 works as well, but for a perfect fit, buy 0.5MM.
they are good ideas, but i think it wouldnt shock realistic because some doesnt have spring and the rubber band is soft, ill go for simple shock absorbers for now
Here is a FYI which means nothing in the Lego world because you can do anything you want even if it is not done in the real world but here is the FYI the spring shock absorbers on most real cars have the spring on the top of the shock absorbers where you had it on the bottom but in the Lego world you put the spring where you want it peace to you a great video nonetheless!
You've put a lot of consideration into lenght of the absorbers, but unfortunately they're mostly useless. They would collapse under the weight if the model. The solution might be a stronger rubber band, but then the angles and forces in a compressed and retracted state might be too strong. TLDR; not that useful. Cool idea for a vid tho
I fill stupid. I should start playing with my Lego again.😢 Haven't touchy it from 4 years. But I want better motors and enough parts so I don't have to desasemble the kits.
I'm tired of looking for a system to make floating vertical stabilizer like in the video ruclips.net/video/lYYYNu3sJJM/видео.html Hopefully you can make it
Springlocks? why didnt they use these in the spring-suits? it would be safer and much cheaper! but why did they put the springs on the suit?- why not on the animatronics? 🔩😱⚙️

Sounds like it would make for very bouncy car suspension.
no
Not really, while it is still easier to tension rubber band than to compress a spring, it has S shaped curve overall, not getting really easier
That's wrong, it would collapse if the force needed to stretch it reduced with the strain

As someone who always has problems with suspension in his mocs, I can say that I love your content
As always, some great ideas here.
7/9 could be tweaked by using two different sized gears to achieve different spring rates and strokes.
Yep, or you could just vary the rubber band strenght or where you attach it
I’ve been watching your channel for a long time, even when it was small. I appreciate the hard work you put in this.

Those were all genius. I’ve always wanted some Lego springs but realizing I have the parts for most of these saves my wallet 😁 thanks!
I love the concept of n.8!
And the n.9 is really good for big heavy projects.
The magnetic one is interesting, because for normal springs the relation is F = c * x, but I believe for magnetic fields their strength is related to the inverse of the distance squared, so F = f(1/(x^2))
Nice mathematics you got there
@@EmuTest-2024 yes
So detail, I can learn a lot of mechanical basic techniques from your video, thanks so much.
That magnetic suspension is honestly really cool
Love the idea that are all unique in their own ways, especially the tire one
every single concept looks awesome!
the last one is actually really crazy for me the best one it’s strong and powerful nice videos
Always love watching these
Brilliant! Magnet shock absorber is my favourite!
How! This is a very nice video! Nice work!
the last one has some good potential for a big RC build
Just amazing! Inspired me for the next video :)
helo
This is exactly what I needed!
AWESOME demo!!! VERY cool ideas for bricking!
Can you attempt Lego bi-stable mechanisms?
If your lego vehicle is large and heavy , you can consider building a torsion bar suspension with long black axle
One issue is the axle has to be very long for it to have any use
and it worked pretty well on my lego tank
this is just higher level of creativity O.o
man, you using loom bands brings me back in time
1:25 I like that might even use it for a dune buggy build
The magnetic one is brilliant
The Simple Rubber Band is very powerful and gave me ideas for using in weapons
I wanna try 2 as a pushrod suspension suspension. The extra length doesn't matter if it's buried deeper in the model.
4 would be good for pushrod too. :D
Combining the magnetic absorber with any of the other springed methods would probably make a pretty good system overall.
6:04
really wanna see a example these but used in vehicles
#4 could also be a substitute for the gray Lego shock absorber. Also keep up the great content! 🎉
Another idea, using the black rods as torsion bars.
Or connecting another lever to the end opposite the wheel arm and attaching a rubber band to it.
The magnetic one would make great front motorbike suspension
Nice!
Is it possible to make one that twists the spring so it acts like a torsion bar? That way you can make f1 style suspension
God damn how i didnt think the magnets would do such a great work
i love this, thx for yourideas
i love this video thank for this idea!

You're right, I just went with shock absorber because that's the official name of the Lego part I'm replacing
Now do a tortion bar and make all the Lego enthusiasts cry as the plastic bends and buckles.
Make a car out of all these suspensions just 1 car per suspension
Torsion bar could be fun😊
what if you combine the spring one and the magnetic one? the spring act as compression and the magnet as rebound. Place it on top of each other.
German engineers ‘write that down WRITE THAT DOWN’
The Magnet one is genius ngl
LOL called it, the end shot that was my first idea to do with it after you pressed it down, spring....
Did the big shock really take that long to land, or were you messing with us?
Edit: Definitely messing with us. It would've had to launch 60 meters vertically to get 7 seconds of hang time.
Nope, it came back like 3 frames after it left the field of view
@@in1 The edit WAS hilarious, though! :)
Good video I like it ❤

The gear rack one is really interesting. It would be the worst performing one in reality but it would have some uses.
Tire suspension is look like realistic air suspension
they are good ideas, but i think it wouldnt shock realistic because some doesnt have spring and the rubber band is soft, ill go for simple shock absorbers for now
For the simple spring on i put the spring inside the axle piece
Nice designs! Fun fact, did you know that formula 1s some time ago used the 8° sospension u built? I think donut media made a video about those 😊
I watch Donut Media!! This sounds super interesting
Interesting, thank you!
I'd love a car hovering on magnets. Would look so nice and also be frictionless
Lego: *starts taking notes*
can you pleae make similar video about suspensions?

Can you make real examples for using compact damper?
making compact cars.
Ok, great video but what about practice?
Hi your so pro thanks
are those springlocks?
2:41 scissor NOT gate
Lego Thanos at 3:31
*I used the wheel to make suspension for the wheel*
helpful
Surprised you didn't use a torsion bar.
3:20
Now, these definitely do stuff, but I bet you couldn't actually use half of those
I fill stupid. I should start playing with my Lego again.😢 Haven't touchy it from 4 years. But I want better motors and enough parts so I don't have to desasemble the kits.
Most of that is not idea, just put rubber in ANY mechanism and you will get suspensions!
Now to make an mtb fork😂
Make 5+ custom differential!
I have 10 for you: ruclips.net/video/l5YxgGQQETw/видео.html
These aren't shock absorbers tho, they are just springs
Last one, went to space😅
Did you know springs and shockabsorbers are not the same thing 😉
Yep, I just went with the official Lego part name
Number 2
Hmm, the last shock absorber was definitely too small.

Hopefully you can make it
That's not a shock absorber that's a Lego coil spring element. It does NOT shock absorb, it springs.
"Shock Absorber" is the official part name, so I included that one in the title
Springlock failure
I expected something new. Watching was waste of time. These are just springs
yeah these videos that are about what is in the title are terrible
Springlocks?
why didnt they use these in the spring-suits? it would be safer and much cheaper! but why did they put the springs on the suit?- why not on the animatronics? 🔩😱⚙️
