    this is actually ridiculous how a tiny motor can lift so much weight with some smartly placed gears, im actually intrigued

      you know the average mall escalator is only a 1/2 to 1 hp electric motor. It just runs though a hell of a gear reduction. I used to work at a mall and I could see the under workings from the basement storage area.

    I think this is QUITE impressive, i must say, Lego wasn't ever meant for this kind of lifting but youre solving problems like an engineer should, replacing string with nylon rated at 65kg, splitting the load over two separate points, here i thought i was smart putting together a 3 speed sequential gearbox to solve my power issues in an rc convered lego technic model, i could learn a lot from this. If i put something like this together for my rc car it would be awesome as a single gear system pushing 12kg of force out of a regular medium motor! Hmmmmmmmmm

      Typically the rated strength of something is about half of the test strength, which is below the failure point. Because a rope lifting a load off the ground at a 60 degree angle to vertical has tension up to twice the weight of the load plus the weight of the line and associated hardware.
      If you're making something in the 25kg rated load range, you expect a bunch of amateurs to try crazy stuff that doesn't follow any kind of best practice; if you're int the range of hundreds or thousands of kg, you expect a bunch of professionals lifting expensive things over expensive things; either way, a safety margin of 2 is reasonable.

    This is absolutely astounding, I teach with Lego Ev3 for a living and I've seen those exact problems you've encountered where the axles sheer in half, the gears bend side to side and disengage. It's crazy that little plastic parts can lift 120 lbs. I'm going to have to show this video during one of my lessons (and of course explain how many kilograms are equal to how many lbs). My students after seeing this shouldn't ever had an issue again with lifting weights for their challenges

    • @salmjak
      @salmjak 6 лет назад +1

      Maybe you should focus less on weight conversion and focus more on the principle of reducing pressure by adding more load bearing points?
      How come you’ve skipped this so far? (While problem solved by this have apparently been common)

    • @cmacks95
      @cmacks95 6 лет назад

      salmjak on his channel he had an entire video showing the usage of pulleys in the system to reduce stress exerted on the motor and thus adding more load bearing points. The issue with Lego is that it is plastic. The test was really more about what the little Lego motor is capable of on its own with the proper gear ratios. For more of a load bearing and building techniques for gears that be a whole separate topic.
      The main points there would be utilizing the technic beams/liftarms to distribute forces across a larger area, using axles through sections instead of the axle pins, then using other gears or dual redundancy so the gears do not slip. (Ex: there are two different models of the Lego 8 tooth gear, one has just ridges in the middle and little tube ends that can slide into a technical lift arm and disengage under pressure (link: www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3647#T=C) whereas the 2nd type has teeth in the middle and lower ones on the sides and will not slide back and forth on an axle if sandwiched between two liftarms. (Link: www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=10928#T=C)
      All that being said someone could make an hour long video on proper gear techniques and tips. Like there's so many little subtle things that will make or break a gear train

    Great Video. Remember trying to get something similar for a mousetrap-car back in school, but never got it working well.
    There's one thing I don't get tho. Why do you first upgrade to a string that can handle 65kg, but when that tears downgrade to a string that can handle just 25kg?

    • @BrickExperimentChannel
      @BrickExperimentChannel  6 лет назад +7

      The video wasn't very clear on that, but did you notice I used the 65kg fishing line only once? The bush and axle broke pretty fast, probably because the string was too thin and hard. I then changed back to the black string that I don't have specs for. After that teared, I went to look for new strings from local stores and found the green/white 25kg which proved to be quite good.

    @peraz968 6 лет назад +6

    Use some lubrication on these gears and you will get more torque whit same power and same gear ratios. I guess something like a 10-20% more torque.

    • @danpowell806
      @danpowell806 6 лет назад +2

      Lubricating the gears will get you faster speed, but negligible additional stall torque, since there's roughly zero static sliding friction on the gear teeth. Lubricating the bearings might give you more torque and should certainly give you better speed and probably higher stall torque.

    Test gear efficiency next! use an ammeter to measure power into the motor and time lifting a mass to measure output power. You could test straight gears, bevel gears, worm gears. Bonus points for measuring efficiency at different speeds.

    I would have never in a million years had been able to guess that the s-hook would be the component to fail on that last pull... I would have guessed that one of the shafts would fail due to torsional shear long before that hook would deform... Fascinating 👍

  • @sebbes333

    *@Brick Experiment Channel*
    A rough estimate of the formula is: *new_weight = (baseline_weight*2)+2* for every new row of small+large (24/8) gears.
    then for the next line of gears, use the *new_weight in the place of baseline_weight*
    Eg: baseline_weigh = 3 kg
    row 1: (3*2)+2 = 6+2 = 8 kg
    row 2: (8*2)+2 = 16+2 = 18 kg
    row 3: (18*2)+2 = 36+2 = 38 kg
    row 4: (38*2)+2 = 76+2 = 78 kg
    row 5: (78*2)+2 = 156+2 = 158 kg
    ...
    Let's say it has an error window of +-5%, just to be sure.

    • @casaxtreme2952
      @casaxtreme2952 6 лет назад +1

      Sion why so complicated? the gear ration is 24/8 = 3. So torque increases at about the factor of 3 (ignoring friction).

    • @gamesfornobs
      @gamesfornobs 6 лет назад

      Because the legos are acting as a spring so it loses quite a bit of energy from that
