this is probably one of the most useful ones yet. literally throw your bin of lego across the floor and go over it with this
This one would be awesome for preschool and big families with young kids. I think the manual one would be better for us just needing organising. more eco friendly!
Yes
Biggest issue with it is it doesn't look like it actually sorts them properly
@@shalimarlake7852 yeah
@@shalimarlake7852 yeah, he definitely cheated a little to make it look like it performed better than it does. The main problem is that the holes up top get blocked up, so smaller pieces can't get through. He'd need some kind of agitator to shake them up and allow the small pieces to get through the holes.
Also, the "print only the infill for better flow" approach was probably counterproductive, since it would disperse the suction force over the whole surface of the filter, rather than suck pieces toward the holes. With some kind of basic agitator, like what you see in high-end shop vacs in order to prevent the filter getting clogged, and properly printed parts, this could actually work, but it would be way more complicated and way more work than just printing a few disks with cutouts.
Jumping Jerry should be the name for the Robo Dog
Yes
Pizza
“These things are too expensive!”
Matt 2 minutes before:
“I just bought a robot dog!”
True
The robot dog probably cost less than those Lego.
Doggy Mc Dogface!
@@chubbysumo2230 ?
@@chubbysumo2230 per ounce? The legos absolutely cost more than the robot lol
This is great ! I would add one more layer at the end for the dust . So if there is any dust while vacuuming it would be easy take the last one with dust and dispose the dust in the garbage.
You should name the dog T.U.R.D. or
TOTALLY
UNNECESSARY
ROBOT
DOG
Lool
Y.e.s
Yo
Everything should like
Sir you are smart
This is the way.
yesssss
This is the way
This is awesome. With maybe a few more designs, it could be 99% accurate, as you can see some got stuck once the bigger pieces came in, but still got me to sub
Maybe add a functionality to shake up the compartments periodically so that the pieces stuck at an awkward angle, or smaller pieces stuck above a larger piece can pass through to their actual compartment
Like a slider at the bottom of the connect 4 game
Good idea, the tube should have like a motor connected to it that would keep it constantly vibrating so that each piece stuck at an awkward angle will eventually get sifted through.
Vibrator
you know you could just manually shake it at the end, but I think it would be great to see this project over-engineered
Fins at an angle on each bottom side to direct airflow may agitate them enough to ensure the sorting.
So I’m curious how does the infill pattern increase suction? I would’ve thought the more airflow there’d be less suction. Now instead of all the air pulling through the holes its spread out over a way larger area. But either way pretty interesting
The only problem is the big bricks build up on top trapping some of the small bricks, but other than that, where can I buy one?
I mean, sure, but any mechanical agitation should allow the smaller pieces to filter through.
@@tonberryking42 so tape a vibrator to it and it's good?
I need it
NOW
Ok but I saw big lego pieces, how did they get through the tube?
0:06
Needles, and Screws: are we a joke to you?
Your inventions are getting more and more useful over time.
3:49 Unnecessary
I would honestly buy this. My son's room is a landmine of Legos
My room is filled with Lego
rip
Yes 🤣 I I definitely need it
Just divorce your son
My son might enjoy the vacuum more than the legos. Lol
4:53 coke-heads be like
Calling this invention "useless" is an understatement, this is the most useful
You can just pour the bin full of Legos into the top, and eliminate the vacuum cleaner.
The real answer to the "LEGO'S" controversy is.... THERE IS NO PLURAL. LEGO is the brand, the company, and there's only one of those. Just call them LEGO blocks or pieces. Like the rest of the world 😁
The dog should be called Bark Rober!
omg yes
I was going to come up with a clever name but damn I don't think I can do better than this lol.
Yes
Thats actually really smart idea
Really usefull invention, perhaps another filter for the realy small parts that are 0,7 mm in diameter / square.
And a nice name for the robot-dog could be Lego-las.
It's a dog, not an archer lmao
Nah joe
1:30 yep lego is already plural
Quick idea: if you design the plates so they can rotate independently from the housing and add spiraled grooves on the bottom of the plates it will rotate, further optimizing the self sorting
5:36 does no one really mention the large plate in the top tube that never could have been sucked in like that?
I approve of this!!
Holy i am first :D
@@azurakakya8868 how dare you i am second
What how
Name the dog mr.doggy man
It's always sad to see channels like this one not staying true to their origins. This invention is just way too necessary to be found on "Unnecessary Inventions" ;)
I enjoy your videos, keep up the good work!
I'm pretty sure he always somewhat didn't stay true to that. i feel like it's always been a bit sarcastic. most of his videos are" never in hell would i have thought of that but it's absolutely necessary" kidnapping videos
EDIT: *KINDA
Unnecessary does not mean useless
Candice would be a perfect name for the dog with no hidden meaning
This also reminds me of the LEGO vacuum from the LEGO Batman games.
Was looking for this comment
i tihnk the reason lego is painful is cuz its tiny
btw to anyone who is thinking or is saying this this is necesarry, its not. specifically the sorting part, people sort legos either from colour or from type, like 1x1 brick with 1x1 brick or 1x1 red brick with 1x2 red bricks, etc etc. not by size, thats kinda useless, the vacuum part is very useful
I just printed something for the first time yesterday with no infill on the top and bottom. It acts as baffles in a speaker it seems to work well you can definitely hear the bass more.
Seeing Daddy Wallace in a hot tub and yelling "SUCK IT!" really awakened something in me. Glad his vision has come to life.
If you put string instead of plastic - like a tennis racket. Then there would be no shaking nessasary as it would not be able to balance
how did the big green brick get in the vacuum 5:30
When I was a kid, my dad made me something similar (but a bit more primitive) to this: A bead vaccuum! :D He put two holes in the lid of a medium/large jar, put a plastic hose in each hole, and attatched one of the hoses to the sucking end of an electric air matress pump.. :P I could then use that to pick up all the pearls and beads I had dropped on the floor while playing with them! :D Honestly, witnessing all of my dads ideas while growing up really made me love invention and innovation.. ^^
Using a trackpad for CAD is NOWHERE NEAR as bad as using MacOS for CAD
I think 2 things that would truly take this to the next level would be rubber gaskets between each section to reduce the air slipping out of the space in between the 3d printed rings. And secondly a small offset motor spinning to gently vibrate the chamber would be great to make sure the small pieces don't get stuck on the ledges.
You don't need a second motor, but a fan blade in each chamber, which would turn with the suction, and keep the pieces from getting stuck. It could be 3d printed to mount onto the bottom of the component above it with a 1m steel rod for an axis. This is actually a pretty good invention, speaking as a grandfather with a grandson who has many Lego blocks.
5:16 the pink 2x4 falls down to the wrong segment ;)
You should add an even smaller compartment for any dirt it picks up
It's still attached to a shop vac... So all of the dust will still end up in the shop vac bin
Printers can't print that small and it is already attached to a vaccum why would you need a dust compartment
Maybe just a dust filter at the bottom
The output of the Lego sorter goes into the Shop Vac itself, which already has the filter to catch any dirt.
5:26 why man's look like a super villain
Lego should contact him to make this an actual sellable product.
I'm sure there's tons of people who would love this. From parents/caregivers who want to quickly pick up the kids Legos. To adults who want their Legos quickly sorted so they can get started on their new masterpiece of complexity.
Also can be used in competitions.
i' juåst take myp duåal mo¨to¨r vacuåuåm and clean u all o¨f i't p
This device would be perfect for schools and daycare centers if they own Lego
This is one of the best inventions, as a huge Lego fan with at least a couple hundred thousand to my name, and constantly building on the floor, this would be great
NAME IT LA QUEDA YES THE DOG NAME IT LA QUEDA
You should call your “dog” zoro and make him a croc collar
LEGO bricks, never legos!
In all seriousness though, this is far from unnecessary, I would use this in my studio all the time!
5:37 how did the green big piece fit in the small vaccuum hose?
he bullshiting it. I have this invention at home too, I used a dyson V15 as the vacuum. Much more suction. And the big green piece will not fit any vacuum holes.
@@LinhLinhBD chill I know he's just joking. He opened the tube and obviously put the big piece in
This is actually pretty useful
If it also sorts by colors, you're my man 😆
"just suck it" really got me😂
I feel like your inventions just keep getting more and more necessary.
I don't know how unnecessary your inventions are, but necessary is the greatest understatement to describe this one. I've been brought here by watching hours of similar diy solutions, but I've never thought I could connect the two shop vacs I have at home to one of these - I might even buy a third for the ultimate Suck It 9000
A tromel would work better at the sorting. Have the entire tromel system inside a larger container(lego bin) to contain the vacuum. The in port feeds in the uphill side of the tromel and has a fairly fine mesh, then get coarse and eventually gets to lego sized holes. Suction comes from the first section of the tromel with the fine mesh. From there gravity takes over and the rotating action of the tromel breaks the legos away from the suction permitting them to continue down the tromel and be sorted.
Bonus points, add a spraybar to wash the lego as it goes through the tromel.
Also the original design is far too small and fills up too fast. Anyone who needs one of these has far too much lego for this thing.
Holy smokes this is a good idea. I had to look up what a tromel is, but this would solve the issue of losing suction as each bin fills up.
Ok, mean guy here. This is not a Lego sorter, it's a Lego filter. I would say it's very unnecessary. A sorter would be able to sift by color and function as well as size. There's no way to prevent small Legos from becoming aspirated into the vacuum. There's no way to keep dirt from staying in the filter. All your geometry is completely flat and therefore small pieces sometimes stay in the wrong filter screen.
Wow, you've grown your channel so much. I remember when you had like 10k subs, great job man :)
Mr Beast video was helping a lot and shorts ofc.
Bro imagine just saying “pick those Lego off the floor”
Fins at an angle on the bottom of each level will stir them all and ensure that all get sorted correctly
Necessity could be added to the invention by using it for sorting at a recycling plant.
Very useful product. One modification I would attempt to make to see if it would work correctly is to try an air mattress pump. Some of those pumps pull and push quite a bit of CFM air and would make it more compact without the need for a shopvac
Every time I watch his videos I get so jealous of how amazing his makerspace house is
3:56 SCRIPTITS!
that “I SeE You” had me nightmares for 3 weeks 😭
You should test it on duplo bricks
Robot dog name: sparky.
I love this! My sisters and I used to have a baby toy that (when shaken) sorted various-sized mini-spheres in a similar-yet smaller- multi-level cylinder. You know what would be cool? For another LEGO accessory, people would love a plastic dome to house completed LEGO projects without having to destroy them, and which would simultaneously serve as translucent mobile cases, each molded to cover the entire [architectural] surface area, correspondingly. i.e., White House, Guggenheim, etc.
robot dog + shop vac lego sorter = automatic lego picker upper
you should name the dog "spark" like electricity 😂
I believe many sizes of Lego can slide through any size of hole if it enters the hole end first... right? Every Lego end piece is around the same size
Wait but that's not an unnecessary invention! We need more like this. I want one, but I need a new shop vac.
Mine went through a garage fire. It sounds horrible, even after I wd40d the bearings. So hook me up with a shop vac too, lol
Stepping on Lego feels good
"Mom can we get a new vacuum?"
"Why do you want a new vacuum?"
"Our current one *SUCKS*!"
Anyone else here because they mentioned this invention on the latest Office Ladies Podcast?
make a add on that covers the bit that goes into the vacuum so the smallest pieces can get filterd
Bro turned into necessary inventions
I saw this video forever ago. Today, I just saw a clip from Shark Tank and the start of the “Pick Up Bricks” Lego vacuum. The timeline seemed to be a bit after this. When I was watching that video, I instantly remembered this. I wonder if they also saw this 🤔
Rover, is the best dog name ever.
I need this!
When I step on lego I don’t even feel it lol
By saying "Legos" you probably narrowly avoided a lawsuit by lego :)
if you could make the layers shake as they suck it might be even more effective
Make a Lego vacuum that separates every Lego pieces known to the universe
The killer of the noobs
If Small brick stay on bigger One It dosent Fall in the right section...the cilinder should vibrate to move all Pieces and the Circle separetor must rotate
It needs a larger opening for the vacuum to get more legos at once to be more satisfying, but anybody could probably do that themselves
I like how when he started the “commercial” there was a huge flat green lego in the canister knowing damn well its to big to fit
" I built a LEGO vacuum that sNorts your bricks! (From The Office) "
THE WAVEFORM MERCH THOO👀
Oliver name for the robot dog
That robot dog should be named Beckett
Dude looks like the Swedish chef if he had a life
Call him Richard
Name the dog George
I've literally dreamed about having one if these as a child
I am sure parents would love these.
My younger sister told me you can name it Barry
Name of the robot dog
Rodo
It seems to work fine for large and medium pieces, but what about the really small ones, like 1 point studs? Do they get sucked straight into the shop-vac?
You should use a DUST collector design ... where the heavy stuff falls down
Lego Batman 1 vibes
4:44 “these things are expensive “ then I think that’s why I in the negatives in my bank account
My guy made his shop vac snort a line of legos
am i the only one that thiunks stepping on legos doesnt even hurt
