My grandson, Ryder, is obsessed with building with Legos and we found this Channel and you have inspired him in so many ways. He just watched this video and had some ideas: " How about you put pneumatic tubes inside the submarine so it will suck the water out of the submarine so it wont be filled with water when you bring it up."😃😃
Try using a water proof or tight tape or if it doesn’t work put tape on the first layer of the wall and then build put the second layer of blocks and then you’ll have tape on the first part of the wall and then the second part is covering it
You can apply a type of glue called silicone adhesive inside your electronics; it won't harm them and will keep water out. To make sure it functions, make sure you place it everywhere.
you can use silicone adhesive (some sort of glue) to put inside your electronics, It keeps water out and It doesnt damage them. Make sure to put It everywhere to ensure It works
If you want to make it more watertight you can overlap the bricks over the cracks 3 times then put plastic rap in the middle then it will be more watter proof
2:57 the issue here looks like you are trying to take air out of a piston when one is smaller than the other. Their is no more air for it to take, so it doesn't really move. A solution that should make that idea work is just using the same size piston on both sides.
This was a really fun idea, but you should definately put it all in a watertight, plastic box. That would allow for making a waterproofed propellershaft and rudder assembly, with only the moving parts and not the motors outside the plastic box. The depth gauge and the little interior was also a cool idea, and I would love to see this attempted again! You're the first guy to actually make a lego submarine look like a submarine and not just a plastic box with electric machinery in it
One thing to maybe consider trying is spraying it with a clear varnish layer or three after finished building. Shouldn’t be too difficult to take apart after but might be enough to seal it from the water. Can buy cheap cans of it at Home Depot or Lowe’s for like, $6 a can.
Idea: 2 separate layers of hull, they both make a hollow area inside the first layer. That hollow area fills with water and keeps the water pressure low so the water isn’t too compact. Explanation: The deeper a submarine goes, the more pressure is applied to the outside of it, that’s why water seeps through any crack it can find, if you have a hollow area, when that fills with water from the pressure outside, the pressure the second wall feels is far less that it would if it was exposed to the outside directly. In theory this should prevent the hollow space behind the second wall (the place where the mini figs, motors, etc go) from filling with water and sinking. Or just super glue everything to form a Simi-watertight seal.
If you don’t need to reuse the bricks, you could just use a thin layer of clear spray paint on the inside. Outside too, if you don’t mind the aesthetics.
I got one big tip, on how to make lego watertight! Don't use bricks that are 2 studs wide, the best way to stop te water, is to use bricks that are 1 stud wide, then place them in 3 rows behind one another, in alternate paterns, this prevents the water from seeping through the cracks and does a way better way to slow it down. Now you can keep stacking it up to make water tight walls, that is if you keep using 1 stud wide bricks, 3 layers thick. I hope this will help in the next Video!
Nice vid Riley I found a cool lego channel with an awesome short... BM Studios... (The profile is a minifigure with a violin) His one short is a minifigure getting burnt at the stake! If you watch it please leave some kind of comment so I know you watched it... Your channel is cool!!!
These are actually awesome! Most people just build a submarine or ship in legos. You not only build them, but you also make real mechanisms that are used in real submarines or ships! Great work! Keep it up!
Sacrifice the lego and glue it together with a water tight gel based glue. So every seam is sealed, also an expanding foam hull, these are your simplest options 👌🏻
Flex seal would be a pretty solid option, similar idea with an independent hull but then coat the entire thing in flex seal making it a solid body, then use flex tape for cables and securing electronics
You have to pressurize the cabin as the air is getting pressure on it. Which means that it is sucking in water to fill out the empty space. You can see it when the submarine was going up as the air expanded slowly
An idea would be maybe using a central control station on the surface, containing all the pumps and water-sensitive equipment, a therefore you wouldn’t need to waterproof the sub. Also, does it have to be all LEGO? As I could see a bottle or other container being used to house your more sensitive equipment.
Take a plastic or glass tub All of your electronics are in that Use Lego magnets from the train sets as interaction points between the water tight and non water tight areas. Iv seen this done and it works well Best of luck
They actually don’t use ballasts for submarines. They actually use propellers. The ballast is in case of emergency sometimes they use the ball for no emergency reasons😊
Fun Fact: the first Submarine that bared the name Nautilus (named after the sub from the Juelz Vern novel A Thousand Leuges below the Sea) was a modified WW1 submarine from America
I try to soak yellowed white bricks in peroxide (in direct sunlight) to whiten them and they're ALWAYS full of air bubbles. Not surprised a craft would take on water and still float.
I'd honestly recommend looking into the plastic wrap solution again for waterproofing, except you'll want to look into a heavy-duty one like Gorilla Grip.
on the corners, you should have stuck a 2x sticker, partially place it on an edge and cut the excess at the point in which the corner would be and fold to overlay
Bro, try melting the stickers that you have tried to make that box waterproof with a lighter so that they remain air tight and it will remain dry for a long time. I'm sharing this because it worked with a bismark battleship that ive built
Some options - polyurethane fill the bricks (this can't be undone thought!) - build your boats, bricks studs-down (each brick is a little boat) - use 0.2mm poly to fill the gaps between brick faces - add technic pieces in "illegal" orientations to stress/compress bricks - conformal coat your electronics - conformal coat the final assembly
0:59 I have a better way to prevent water leakage, which is to put a thin thread between these cracks and fill them with threads. I learned this method from a program on National Geographic that was about Viking ships.
Why not use a soda plastic bottle instead of the box, you could cut it to put inside all the electric components and glue it again with silicone, then you just need to build the exterior around the bottle
bruh this guy is hthe best lego builder ever and the fact that he builds all of this from scratch without instructions insane bruv keep it up love ur vids
Use duct tape or some other kind of tape that has a non-water soluble adhesive. Also, use an old tupperware container with a hole drilled in it to seal the electronics, then tape over the hole. Or just find a waterproof Lego motor, I'm sure somebody makes them.
I get you gotta use Lego parts but what about making a new and improved Lego sub using a waterproof sealant between the bricks that are exposed to the water?
you do realise that you didn't even need it to be water tight? you could've made a pump on the surface and just pump in air from the surface using a bunch of the pipes and you could've just put waterproof camera in a box which would've done the same thing!
Its better to build inside a PET bottle or something and seal that up before you then build lego's around it. Only real way of making it water tight without actually damaging the bricks (coatings, sealants etc)
theres a special glue that lego builders, for like lego land use to pretty much weld things together. you'd have to be careful but it would work, by basically melting the plastic and recombining them both, so it should make a seal

Riley you are the best, just keep trying and you are going to reach all your goals that you want to reach
Lego used to sell plastic bags so technically you can use them (since Lego sold them) and the bag would waterproof the submarine’s insides
To keep water out, spray it with sealant/varnish.
He should try that
Are you not joking

you would need to pump the middle with air constantly at a high pressure
Make a Lego boat that uses a layer of Lego technic air tanks (plugged so they don't fill with water) as the first layer to make it float.

This might be a dumb idea but you should add a ziplock bag and combine the stickers and the plastic wrap together in your upcoming boat project!

And was also in the 1950’s the Us Navy’s first nuclear powered submarine’s name built in Groton, Connecticut.
If you didn’t care about your Legos too much, you could hot glue the bottom of one of the Lego walls and then glue the other one to the bottom of it

making something for it to survive long enough for it to get destroyed is probably super hard but super easy at the same time

use surface tension, basiclly just pack it with expanding foam (this may ruin lego and devices so keep it controlled)
10:01 soivet engineering at its best
Try watertight compartments so if one floods it might not sink and cover it around the rooms

idea, use an long cylinder inside the subamarine but make the submarine hyper-realistic and large so the long cylinder will fit.
Adding a fan might help by increasing the internal air pressure of the sub
