      Very similar to a dunebuggy/race car. This is a winning design for a reason. He even has similar components. You can see upper and lower control arms and a spindle attaching them. The rod going horizontal to the frame is similar but not quite the same as a torsion beam which was popular on old trucks and old vw beetles. Basically as the control arms articulate the torsion beam, which is spring steel twists and returns to its original position. Torsion beams were phased out and replaced by vertical mounted coil springs or coilovers. But this design works the best because of its double wishbone design (independent front and rear suspension) I would say the sliding shock is actually like a cantilever suspension as well. They do have horizontally mounted shocks on trophy trucks but it’s kind of overly complex design, and dune buggies, trucks, and race cars all have diagonally mounted coilovers on the a arms now.

    I feel like you would get better results if you used a larger tredmil for more varied terrain. Also trying to combine suspension methods. The idea being that you impact a soft suspension and then a hard suspension so the whole ride is smoother than with just a soft suspension or a hard suspension.

  • @andreyemelyan5267
    @andreyemelyan5267 11 месяцев назад +176

    There is problems with your tests, for example: you're using different length and width wheel-bases for same tredmil, also wheel count. This is causing unfair scores, so efficiency and durability tests are for satisfaction.
    There are different variables such as: length, width of wheel-base, wheel count, wheel weight, weight of unsuspended part, range of suspension, stiffness of suspension, height of center of mass. Very small amount of those is taken to account. Like, models with long wheelbases is OP for a jump cause they rotate less while riding off a ramp. Also you're tugging from the front instead of from the axis, that is going through center of mass, that causes bounce nomad to flip over!
    There is so much room for -improvement- part 2!

    I feel like it depended a lot on the stiffness on the suspension. I wish you somehow compensated it so the stiffness would be equal. I think the dampening effect of the rubber tires for example would become more beneficial if you put more weight so they could compress more

    • @Batryoperatedbob
      @Batryoperatedbob 11 месяцев назад +20

      Came to say this. The more compliant suspension out performed the super stiff over-sprung suspension. I'd have loved to see the magnets in an independent setup. Also the coilovers should have been brought further inboard on the arms to increase progression.

  • @ShamelessDuck
    @ShamelessDuck 11 месяцев назад +26

    If you're using spring suspension you always need a dampener because spring will oscillate which causes the additional shake in small bumps test, which in turn makes the carrier less stable. With sort of free floating rubber tires you needed a guide rod in big bump test so that it wouldn't fall over due to tires being carried by inertia tip over the whole cart. And also it doesn't help that the suspension isn't connected to wheels directly. Magnet suspension would work much better if it was stiffer, because it really was too soft. More magnets or stronger ones would make it much more reliable, and also just like in spring suspension it should've had a dampener, which would be easy to make just by surrounding the magnets with aluminium or copper so that they would cancel the oscillations quite quickly. I think the "summit seeker" type worked the best because it was stiff with two rubber rings and it didn't need dampeners because rubber didn't oscillate that much as in "crawl voyager" (which needed a dampener).
    and as for chain one, well... It's a funnier character than we ever had.

      A suspended cart design can be great to keep a load level, but not like this.
      A big advantage of magnets though in this case is they're really small so can be used in combination with other methods. For example using soft shock absorbers, and adding magnets to make the suspension progressively stiffer.

    Super fun! These were variations on suspension geometry as noted earlier but none had dampers. They all had springs. A real damper must allow the spring to compress near its normal rate but then rebound at a much slower rate. This is usually done with one way valves of different sizes in gas or hydraulic shock absorbers. Challenge: Make a Lego shock! I have no idea how!

    There's a lot going on here! I noticed the...cab mounted suspensions, Where the wheels themselves were on a separate platform behaved worse than a solid axle. I think if you combined independent 6 or 8 wheel suspension with a dampened version of the bounce rover you wouldn't lose much at all. On the chain suspension If the chains were light duty elastic and secured from the top and bottom of the mounting posts to the corners of the cab like an x split in two it might retain more, could try on the sides too instead of just the front.
    No matter which design retains more product it will either be the most complicated to assemble and work on or expensive to build and maintain which is why your Amazon boxes show up dented and you can hear the delivery truck hit bumps from 8 blocks away.

    Would be cool to see a version where wheelbase, wheel type, and the location of the center of gravity of the load are the same across models.

    The only issue is the spring or rubber band need to be tuned to the weight of the vehicle for optimal performance.

  • @doirlyneedauser150
    @doirlyneedauser150 11 месяцев назад +7

    the difference between shock absorbers and general suspension is that shock absorbers run on "compressed gas" that most of the time is in a piston chamber, general suspensions just have a sort of soft spring so on rough terrain it will be decently smooth

    • @inkt_
      @inkt_ 9 месяцев назад +1

      shock absorbers aren't springs and don't have "stiffness" in the same regard as suspension springs (spring frequency). shock absorbers absorb energy via oil and/or gas inside of a piston. I suggest taking the time to research things that you are interested in.

    On the Big Bumb test, we can clearly see that LONGER Chasis with centered cargo is performing good... on the main test, the Chains failed hard...but on the big Bump they performed better, cuz the cargo section is freefloating and the chains itslef performed as a Suspension after the big bump of the chasis...

  • @UchihaNoble
    @UchihaNoble 11 месяцев назад +2

    I believe it is not fair comparison, as you are changjng the full joints mechanism and build when you change the suspension types, my recommendation to use and joint construction for all which will allow you totake accurate performance for each. My point is each suspension type will have the same joint support setup with that you can ignore any other factors which will affect the suspension performance

    Crawl voyager: Reliable and nice for sustained travel. Also would probably be perfect for smaller tests as one wheel not touching the ground at a time is no problem. The summit seeker is the best in all the tests, but might not be better for average challenges. Then again, you might want to climb up some stuff and it is Lego, so you are facing scaled up objects. So, I guess that means Summit Seeker wins

  • @derandiheissst

    Everything is very interesting - in real life I would definitely consider building a closed container, then the losses would be significantly lower 😉

  • @Metal_Icarus
    @Metal_Icarus 10 месяцев назад +2

    Dude, if you are going to test different methods of energy absorption, use the same suspension design. The configuration of the axles/pivots being different significantly affected the direct comparision between different types of shock absorbers.

    i think the tests were kind of unfair considering that the rubber band one had multiple wheels. plus, the rubber cruiser and the bounce nomad had a higher capacity than most of the cars. (not to mention that a lot of the wheels came in different shapes and sizes).
