  • So I made a vacuum engine and WOW did it work!
    The video is less polished so that I can show it off to you guys in the moment instead of it taking forever. I hope you enjoy.
    :)
    I do other LEGO stuff too and that’s on my channel, go check it out if you liked this.

    Also I recommend using clear tape for the valve because with tape the valve can’t pull apart but with glue the legos still can

    Very nice design, I like the use of counterweights to balance out the engine. When I did my runs on my really fast engines, they shook my entire bedroom and were incredibly loud.

    • @somebuilds
      @somebuilds  2 года назад +3

      Thanks so much. It still is incredibly loud though. I wish the counter balance was better weighted, so it shook less.

    • @somebuilds

      I think it has to come from the straight walls on either side, but honestly, I have no idea. The last one I made, was no where near this smooth, and it was practically the same design.

    I heard that engine suddenly start accelerating again, and that is a telltale sign of your valve coming apart.
    It’s happened to my engine, but yours didn’t end in catastrophic failure.
    Best course of action is super gluing the valve pieces together to prevent that from happening.
    Gonna post a video on exactly what happened with mine, you will see what I mean.

    • @somebuilds
      @somebuilds  2 года назад

      I hear the sound! That’s really interesting. The valve was the thing to break which is interesting. Do you know why it accelerates before the valve breaks?

    • @AngryProtoBoi
      @AngryProtoBoi 2 года назад

      @@somebuilds The valve pulls itself apart, possibly allowing the vacuum to pull harder as the gap in the valve increases, thus generating slightly higher rpm before completely separating

    What does pulling the lever thing do inside? And how does it take the energy from the vacuum I taking air and turn it into... Turning lol

    • @somebuilds
      @somebuilds  2 года назад +1

      Do you mean the blue lever I push down? That is the throttle limiter. Pushing it down opens a little door that allows more air to flow through. The greater airflow means more power.

    • @Gakeee
      @Gakeee 2 года назад

      @@somebuilds Gotcha, that makes a lot more sense lol. How does it take that energy though? Some sort of reverse fan?

    • @somebuilds
      @somebuilds  2 года назад +1

      No, that not what is being used here.
      The way it works is that there is a piston (like you would see in a car engine), and the suction from the vacuum pulls the piston up. It is connected to a shaft at the bottom so that as it moves up and down it turns the shaft. At the same time, a valve that let the air into where the piston was, closes. The big wheel keeps the engine spinning for a bit (due to the stored inertia) and then the valve opens and air can be sucked in again making the piston go up repeating the cycle.
      Here is a video, since words are very confusing. ruclips.net/video/UJenP_o6KOc/видео.html
      A reverse fan would most likely be a turbine of some sort; people make engines with them, and they go much faster.

    have you tried using a smaller or smoother flywheel? it might slightly increase performance because bigger flywheels and the tires you have on your flywheel can create more aerodynamic drag

    but im pissed that u got a lve to work and i still havent gotten a lve to have eny torque or do more then 400 rpm.
