Testing a Lego-compatible Steel Axle
HTML-код

- I bought a stainless steel axle and tested how well it performs in a simple Lego hoist.
How much better is it compared to a normal Lego plastic axle? Enjoy!
The axle specs:

later it was sold by cncgear on EBay (obsolete) www.ebay.com/i...

"A string that can hold up to 33kg"
*breaks at 22*
"uh, so that was a fucking lie"
It's probably because of how tight the rope was being wrapped around the rod and the tightness of the knots. When ropes bend really sharp such as in the boline it'll break there or melt there before other areas in the rope. Certain knots are safer because of that
@@SDKlimber yeah, those ratings are only valid at a certain minimum corner radius
DAMN, just 11 KG shy.
Everyone else beat me to it, but because the rope is twisting over itself, over and over, you create a really sharp angle where it can and will break/rip/tear easier.
If you want a really good example, if you get a "flat" but durable rock, throw it, hit, whatever you want, very tough to break.
And then you put it so only half of it is hanging off of a table, and the other half is on the table, have a 5 year old come on over and he can probably break it with his *incredible might*.
Angles are OP. If you get a piece of paper, try to pull it apart, very difficult. Turn it 90 degrees, pull apart, easy tear. Physics :o
That rope probably is measured to sustain at most 35kg but they advertise 33kg as sometimes the rope comes out of slightly lower quality (not all ropes are equal), and they advertised "Max" because, as you see above, that's not an indication of where the rope breaks (if at a sharp degree/angle, different temperatures, humidity comes into effect when pushing something to it's extremes, etc. Good example of humidity would be difference in strength of wet and not wet rope, imagine a wooden branch. Have you ever tried snapping a dry branch and a semi-equal wet branch? Hint: dry branch snaps like a toothpick, wet branch you are better of cutting because that hoe ain't breaking. Bending? maybe.. breaking? nope).

Are you seriously saying that one lego motor, stepped up with enough lego gears, could lift an entire person, and then some??
Very slowly
Yes, but only if you are very careful, any bounces or sideways movement would cause the entire thing to fail. Mechanical advantage using pulleys and gears can do amazing things.
yes but worm drives dont give enough torque that is the trade off.
I mean.... Technically a person can lift a planet, given that they have a long enough lever.
yes when its one but it has extreme diminishing returns this very channel proved that the regular gears give far more torque

That is because all the legos are loaded in compression while the steel axel is loaded in sheer. Make a LEGO box and then stand on it. Then hold a much weight as you can and stand on it. The way legos are designed lends them to compression loading.

@@romantom8101 I agree. It's not LEGO then, it isn't comparable, and pointless for this channel. He replaced the axle to steel to try to get an A to B comparison from his other videos since that was one of the earliest failure modes (same with the twine). If you change everything to not LEGO, then it's not LEGO, and it shouldn't be on this channel. There are other channels for that. You can get a HUGE variety of metal gears (100's of different grades of steel, aluminum, brass, etc.) that are way better designed than the Lego gear profile. They make gears for every specific situation you can think of. There is a reason people dont put LEGO gears in anything other than LEGO MOC. These are good for (relatively) low torque, low speed, low impact situations.
@@romantom8101 That ruins the entire experiment tho. If all the Lego pieces were made out of a different material, such as steel, then it would still be Lego

The designLEGO bricks was protected under a patent that had fully expired by 2011. The expiration of the patent means that anyone can make variations of parts that are similar to LEGO parts and make money off of it. In this case, we’re talking about making parts similar to LEGO parts, but made of metal instead of plastic. Regardless of how you look at it, it’s well within anyone’s right to make such a product so long as it’s not called simply “LEGO” but “lego style” or “lego-compatible” is fine.
Also, to point this out ahead of time, LEGO has tried to extend the patent and has made an attempt to trademark their products. On both attempts they were unsuccessful and were told they are not allowed to trademark their bricks due to the rules and regulations of how a trademark works.

Next video: “Testing a Lego-compatible Titanium Axle”
Lol for the next in a future sure
Actually, because of titanium's rigidness it might break sooner than you think. For plating titanium is awesome yes, but it is very frail in terms of torsional resistance.
If you envelop it with something tho, it's a different story. Google "carbotanium".
Nice to see what LEGO gears can withstand. I like you videos.
however, from scientific point of view, the comparison plastic vs. steel is not 100% conclusive, you used two different gear housing setups for each experiment. The supports (axle holes) in case of steel axle had bigger spacing, thus the bending momentum caused by the wire was much bigger.
The different kinds of rope/cable that were used threw a wrench into the data as well, I would like to see how the all of the gear ratios compared with the exact same cable.
Arthur Krantz I would theorize that any cloth/fiber based cords would be much worse with the steel axle, as the corners proved to be sharp with the 65kg string/cord, but any with steel wire would work much better. I believe he conducted this the way he did for maximum efficiency, as the same setup or plastic won’t be as efficient with steel.
Yes needs to be repeated with the 2mm cable from the beginning with both axle materials
Why not use a double drum setup like you did in the original plastic experiment? You would've spread the load along the shaft causing less severe bending (the load bearing points would be nearer the red plastic chassis, not in the center of the shaft), and it would've taken some strain off of the cable.
Agreed, additional variables cause it to lose its "A to B" relevance

Cubei you can speak true things, but you’ll still be the jackass idiot if you’re doing it at the wrong time or place.
I seriously doubt anyone would have walked away from this video believing the plastic axles are actually somehow stronger than the steel ones just off of a comparison. Until and only until someone does think that, you must accept the “that guy”dom.
I didn't understand why you were getting such good results with your plastic axle against the metal one until I noticed:
1. You have the weight spread out over two points on the plastic one.
2. The spacing between supports was longer for the metal one.
So, divide the results by two, and then again probably by three, for more comparable testing, meaning the plastic is probably only ~1/12th as strong, not half. Without measuring the distance I don't know, but it's definitely wider, which makes a difference expedentially.
2:02 when you wanted tobe howtobasic but remember this is family friendly channel
I want to see this setup pick up a human, that would be awesome
Then his foot or something get's somehow stuck into the Machine and get' crushed
Would LOVE to see that!
Legend tells when Jigsaw was a kid he used legos to kill people...
Elias Caballero I bet his favorite was the LEGO firewalk.

This dude is hilarious without saying a single word, his editing and motions alone are hilarious
*line keeps breaking*
Me: sonofa...
BEC: motherfu...
*several broken lines later*
Me: slap a chain on dat shi...
BEC: you gon learn today!
you need more metal in your build
*plays Metallica*
DEATH METAL LEGO, YEAH!
Me: watches video huh not that much weight
Me: notices it's in kg not pounds
Me: converts to pounds
Me: Damnnnnnnn!!!
Try gear and pulley part 2. Way higher than this.
It's the internet
Use anything in the international standards you mericans
Im more impressed that the plastic legos themselves were able to take the stress of this whole experiment. I was expecting the plastic to give in before the metal would.
Can you show it actually lifting some weights? Thanks for the excellent videos!
he did it in a previous video
He did a rock lifting video

The gears were like: "nope screw these flat pieces, get them outa here"
5:30 when a machine even built by lego starts breaking down
Ah yes a complicated System of levers and pullies, my favorite(3:20)
