It’s amazing how the tower curves can be perceived like the spinning dancer illusion. I was even able to perceive them moving back and forth instead of spinning in a complete circle in either direction!👁️👁️
ironically the Zylo, despite being the simplest, entrances me the most, i know it works and if i follow each linkage i can see how it works, but something about stepping back and looking at it makes that understanding go away
1:30 - Imagine playing Jenga on this thing of art... Knowing physics and the power of gravity: the first move would probably collapse the whole thing before the match would even start.
I'd like to see you building these machines, like your older videos. All the snapping together and testing and such until the machine worked was very relaxing and fun to watch.
Alright so when we finally get the news that an asteroid is coming to earth and will kill us all, i say we just give this guy all the Legos in the world and go on vacation.
For the wave machine, could you slightly offset the two sides so that the waves also tilt side to side while moving up and down? You’d have to widen the Center channel the waves are riding in but I think it could look pretty cool
2:04 This is the Spahginus Marcronus, also known as, the Macaroni. They measure from 1 inch to 2 inches. They are well known for their presence in various meals spanning from their discovery from 1872. They are also for their coordinated mating dances where 8 of them, 4 being male and the latter half being female, dance in a specific pattern, very reminiscent of the Hoberman Linkage. As the Macaronis start linking to one another, that is where the mating begins, and they still perform the mating dance with it. As for the Macaronis that were either left out or simply just make an imbalance in the dance’s system, they were destined to find another group of Macaronis to perform the mate dancing with. This specie of Spahginus is rather interesting, and how they mate is simply just magnificent to watch. The Spahginus kingdom of animals aren’t exactly well known for this type of mating, it would only simply be of drenching themselves on a vat of hot water, killing themselves, to mate with one another in what could be assumed, an orgy. But for the Marcronus, each of the Macaroni still live, after mating, which fascinated biologists for years, studying on this wonderful creature. They are truly a sight to see, in the Animal Kingdom.
It's a bit shame that your latest videos don't include the building part itself. It was really soothing and relaxing to watch, rather than seeing finished structures.
I've always loved Legos and still buy myself a set for Christmas every year (I'm 51). With some Lego builds I've seen in the last 10 years I'm convinced we should be shipping them to the moon, you can build anything!
i love your channel. i was wondering, would you be able to comment if there is any practical application with those kinetic sculptures? impressive and mesmerizing none the less!
The wave machine works like a conveyor belt, although it might only work for non-fragile objects, as I’m sure fragile ones wouldn’t survive the trip. That’s why grocery stores use traditional flat conveyors, as they’re much safer for fragile items.
I have seen the large metal Hoberman sculptures in their natural habitat. They tend to hang from the ceilings of science museums. I have only seen Hoberman spheres, but I think he has made other shapes. The spheres expand and contract driven by an electric motor. The bigger versions are multiple meters in diameter when small. They double or triple in diameter. The museum gift shops sold small plastic ones without motors as toys. If a child throws one with a fast enough spin, it will expand in flight. They contract when they get squeezed. The toy versions were sold at most large toy stores when they peaked in popularity.
I want to see each of these structures built in such a way that everything that could go wrong would go wrong, and then the process of identifying the issues and fixing them. It would be a cool way of showing common mistakes when making mechanical devices such as these and how to troubleshoot when mechanical things don't function properly.
I can only imagine how cool these would be as permanent desk sculptures if you could get a silent motor to drive them with nothing but the quiet steady clicking of some of the mechanisms.
having a vibration absorbing mat on the table would go some way to reduce a fair bit of the noise I'd imagine

@@althejazzmanblack magic
The tower curves were really mesmerizing
The "Tower Curves" and the "Hoberman Linkage" were my favorites. Really nicely done. Can't wait to see more of this!
The wave machine was the coolest, it looked like a fancy wave illustration, but in real life.
So satisfying to look at

The hoberman linkage was really cool. I wonder if it was designed to do something functional originally.
i think it's probably supposed to be used for like camera apertures/shutters
@@poa2.0surface77 get outta here w that 2016 ass joke
Yes, actually! The Hoberman linkage was developed for scissor lifts, but also was used with the Hoberman Sphere, which is a really cool toy.
@@poa2.0surface77clearly you don’t identify as a comedian cause that joke was awful
It is supposed to turn linear motion into radial. It was used for mostly artistic reasons, and for a certain toy

I wish I wasn't so smart. Cause within 10 seconds of look at all of these kinetic sculptures, I had figured out how they worked.
I LOVE kinetic sculptures. You must be a genius to create those models!
I was hoping to also watch these explode in slow motion.

Never heard of these things but still fascinated to watch them moving. Great video as always.
ngl the rotating beams look a bit like DNA
also the tower curves be lookin hella fine lmao
and the wave machine is also able to be made in minecraft
Gotta be incredibly demoralizing to be struggling on a canoe and some wheels rip right past you
easy to get off to. you dried me up! thanks
All of these are really cool, but the Tower Curves are by far my favorite.
so this is the dude whos responsabole for making the ayatan sculptures

5. Tower curves
6. Hoberman linkage
7. Wave machine
0:28 a very cool set, but some of these pieces cost an arm and a leg.

The wave machine actually did a great job at demonstrating why boats need to be at least a couple of meters long

The wave invention is 1of the most satisfying machines ever!
The contra-rotating beams are too messy visually. It's hard to see what's going on. I think they might look better with two different colors.
Congrats for passing 3M

What
the contra-rotating beams can be modified a bit to be used as really a smooth wave machine
How long/big would you be able to make a Zylo structure? I'm fascinated by the little chain reaction!
I might try a circle.
This is like a massage for my brain, thank you

1:25 now, turn the motor off.
