    I feel like what this really demonstrates is how strength can be derived from construction rather than pure material strength.

      Totally agree I actually did do something once that was really hard on the Lego axles and was operated frequently in a project under a lot of force eventually what to take it apart and I couldn't get one part of it apart even I'm like what gives I did do that eventually probably that axle would fail but pain completely failed however the axle had been Twisted to the point so many times that instead of being a cross shape it was almost completely rounded it been Twisted so badly it looked like it was round almost that's how much it would Twisted to the point that it was hard to discern that originally it was cross-shaped yeah that's a long tour I don't know how many stages are gearing either or what the ratio was blood pressure yesterday how I also gears were doubled and tripled up if not more I think I actually ran across the axle the other day when I was doing some sorting even though I think of it.

      @alejandroguzmanmartin-onda6349 3 года назад +100

      If I'm not wrong, I would say that it experiences work hardening as it parmanently deforms before the final try, but it would not play a role as both a work hardened and not work hardened material/pieces fail or break at the same amount of stress, just different strain.

    • @frantisekvrana3902
      @frantisekvrana3902 3 года назад +110

      So long as the torque is all in the same direction, no. Fatigue does negligeably, but work hardening does not.
      You see, what work hardening does is, it increases the slope of elastic deformation and increases yield stress to what you ended last deformation at. So if all the deformation is in the same direction, it's almost as if you continued the previous stroke from where you left it.
      @Ieuan Hunt
      All metals do if you cold work them. What exactly is considered _cold_ depends on the particular metal, for aluminium it is below 230°C. For lead, it is 0°C. For (pure) iron, it is 450°C.

      LOL Although supplement I would like to see like I do eventually some sort of electronics kit not monsters or anything but actual resistors capacitors and everything built into Lego bricks maybe something similar but different than the 9 volt system connectors so that you wouldn't get short circuits which would be a problem with the 9 volt system if you crossed over just right way.
      If anyone out there is wondering if it's possible to use the 9 system end non-modified form to produce series wiring or perhaps just use a polarity switch is a straight-up switch it only using one novel wire back to whatever the answer is yes.
      If one were to take four or five 9 volt electric plates one on the bottom and one or two one in each end and in the middle at 90 degrees of course attach another one on top you successfully cause a short circuit I discovered that by accident I was trying to Alpha way to couple basically a t fitting for the LEGO 9 volt system and Mike what just happened this power cut out and realize I'd cause a short circuit.
      Also series wiring is possible with a 9 volt system including able to connect two 9 volt battery boxes together to get 18 volts out although you shouldn't go above that at all and I would not recommend doing it for long periods of time but intermittent if you got extra motor stuff yes.
      Tremendous speed and torque reason number one not to go over 18 volts the course potential damage second if you're using the gear Motors the ones that originally came out with the barcode truck AKA the set using the Code Pilot those Motors were designed specifically for some sort of electronic controller like that which were also the ones that were released in the first version of lion storms as well there is a bi directional surge protection device transorb?
      Essentially very some work what a back-to-back zener diode would be.
      That one is a bipolar version.
      And that component the trip or clamping voltage is roughly 18 volts don't know exact specs unfortunately.
      The reason for that being there is to clamp any inductive searches from the motor same reason why you would have a Freewheel or a clamping diode across relays in electronics because of course if you're running the something inductive say a brushed motor you're going to have inductive kickback when do magnetic field collapses once or twice I've actually been Zapped off that even at low voltage systems not thinking about it I mean yeah like four bolts but big ol solenoid!
      I think that happened one time when I was working on repairing a pipe organ was if I'm not mistaken.
      Same thing with working on a system that used electric Bells it was less than 18 volts are no possibly 12 or 6? But still going to walk up off of it it was working intermittently and turns out the connection I have to touch was the problem looks and when the circuit open that's what when it got me and yes that was DC.
      You'd be surprised at how low voltage you can actually feel it you can actually feel less than 24 volts under the proper conditions anyone that's done more arity such as Lionel trains or the old schools slot car tracks would know if you accidentally got your hand across the track when it was active it almost feels like you've got a cramp sort of in your hand if you were to happen to have the palm of your hand across it hence muscle contraction and that's low voltage I know that more people are more sensitive than others but I've had that happen when working on doorbell wiring as well and that was under 18 volts or so I know it was less than 24 for sure this was Belle not trying so even less.
      I could just barely feel it but it was there bad wiring and that's why I was troubleshooting it because A Fault in the system they had heard some copper pipe with him obviously well found a problem that way by accident was trying to track the wiring down feeling for it you couldn't even see in their turns out they wound up pun intended or signal wiring yep when you're doing calling look out for low voltage electrical they didn't see the doorbell wiring even though most of it is visible there I came in afterwards they said they'd pulled the fuse for the doorbell transformer and yeah that fuse holder was in incandescent socket and yes it was actually a pool train and I knew the person that had lived there before them the story was that the pole chain was actually being used because people have been pranking by ringing doorbells in the middle of the night at certain times of the year and other times so if that started they pulled the pole train the trainer off and I think he has the pull chain had been extended up the stairway from the basement with a string but the weird thing is there was something else that was on that doorbell circuit add a web to receptacle that was a single receptacle how to found out is they had blown of doorbell fuse when I plug something in so what I want to doing is just putting on a box cover that had a pilot light and also is an area where a night-light would be a good idea so two birds with one stone or two pigs with one bird whichever your liking if you're an Angry Birds fan.

    • @aaronbrandenburg2441
      @aaronbrandenburg2441 4 года назад +1

      Yep eventually you'll destroy those gears as well in addition to grinding. I've broken the old style by Will gears albaugh. Especially the 18th the first ones were rather very weak they've gotten better over the years in terms of that design change.
      Also you know they've got parts now they're designed to take higher torque so the new sets even have a new slip clutch that is designed for much heart worked in the old toys for tooth gear clutch gear.
      Also there is the newer wheel holder with the planetary gear set.
      Also a large Technic turntable it's fairly easy to build a set of planetary gears as well.
      I built a rotating sign once and that's how I did part of the gear reduction.
      Although Lego designs set of are facial planetary gear boxes that you could build your own gear boxes for compact gear trains.
      Or maybe something along the lines of about the size of what the call function Motors may be shorter that would have a female coaxial connector in each end of course the holes for chicken pens and then just have planetary gears in the house and make it a modular system of some sort perhaps different colors for different gear ratios.
      If this sort of sounds familiar it should if your into the older Lego expert Builder / Technic the Technic gear reduction set used this very same idea the one that was the same shape as the older motor that was a planetary gearbox I'm pretty sure.
      The other one that came with it was I'm not sure how that would put together but it's possible it was some sort of worm Drive I don't know wrap my head around that one for quite a while any comments?
