perhaps there was just enough shift sideways to lose stability because the main thing holding the tower together is the weight from the planks above? there is a lot of vertical stability from the weight above, but once enough planks move sideways (even a small amount), you don't have as much weight on planks in the downward direction, and the reduced friction allows the planks to continue to slide out/move sideways, accelerating the process. you can see that the sections of the tower all expand out as they fall, further reducing the stability. it could probably be simulated in a computer model, but that model would likely take a lot longer to build than your real towers.
I think that is was more luck when it not occured. Cus there are sooo many parts that can shift or slightly wrong placed, normally they don't, but with a chance of 1:100 000 they do. So it was just a matter of probability, once it fell, once not.
Huge thanks to everyone who made this project possible, it was an honor to work on it. Great job on the explanations on all the important stages of the build.
YOU GUYS DID IT TWICE?!!!!???!!?! THAT'S INCREDIBLE!!!! I've been gushing over this structure since it came out, and I'm so happy I was able to get to see some behind the scenes work for this structure! It's awesome that there was some changes both times, and it was nice to see them! This was an awesome video :D
This is a really well done video, you did a great job with summarising all of the key moments of the project. Also I was really surprised when I heard myself at 9:53 lol. Awesome work :)
The second topple is really interesting because Yeah it's definitely odd how those planks just shoot out like that. My guess is that because of the huge amount of weight above those supports, the vibrations from the tower starting to topple gave it enough movement to cripple under the weight and then shoot out in the easiest direction those planks could go. And this was also more possible in the second tower because of the taller structure overall Either way, both topples were super supet impressive and inspiring, especially as a fan of Ben's and your work Lily for such a long time. Massive props to the entire team that worked on this project. keep up the amazing stuff :)
I agree with this analysis, but i'm still shocked how the first plank goes. Actually if you look closely it's more a twisting than a falling movement. You have to keep in mind that the pressure on those planks is enormous, so they cannot slide that easily. But my guess is that the balance shifts with the removal of 2 pillars, and the lateral force is enough to trigger this twisting movement, which activates 1 system. Once that first system goes, it triggers the others and it's over.
@@KaplaBen OK, I'm grasping at straws here (unintended pun) but maybe it could have been AIR? like, when something this massive is brought down, the air around it is pushed outwards (like a building implosion when you see all the material particles form a smoke-like fog that is pushed outwards by the air), so if you had an air movement strong enough it's plausible perhaps that it'd have moved that first plank in a twist as it did. Does that make sense to you?
It was actually a drone with a camera. Which that itself is also risky because the wind from the propellers can blow on it, but I guess it wasn't likely due to the stability and distance.
So you all broke 2 world records now or just one? Either way, congratulations! Very well deserved. I'm happy with how these towers came out, especially the first one. :D
Was the air conditioning on when you were building this whole thing? I saw on 6:23 you said it was shaking so it made me wonder if the AC was on or if it was off. Otherwise, fantastic job to all of the builders!!!!!!
I have steady hands and I do trust them when I build solo, but I would be too afraid to participate in a group project, especially of this scale, afraid that I might be responsible for making it fall close to the finish. Well done.
So funny and strange that I would love to build a 40 meters tall Lego tower. But it would be very annoying for me to build such a Kapla tower. Sounds like I'm no puzzle but a statics guy. Only the 11 000 € for the Lego bricks hold me back for a Lego world record.
I wish the video didn't spoil the actual collapse by showing clips of it while explaining the construction of the tower. They should have just explained it with only a voice or with an animation/diagram. disliked
why do you keep showing what's gonna happen in the end all throughout the video lol. it's terrible storytelling. but of course this is an incredible achievement and your talent and passion are beyond admirable. thank you
I’m still confused by the second tower.. like HOW did it just all explode like that??🤔
🤔
Task failed successfully, I guess. 😂

I really appreciated the in depth description of the tower and the techniques used. It’s an amazing feat of architecture, art, and engineering.

Wow! I love these BTS videos! Amazing as always! Thanks❤
very cool! thanks for all the added details about the tower designs and the differences between the tower versions.

8:25 super cool shot of the stage 3 opening up
BEST INTRO EVER!!!I LOVE THE MUSIC!!!
There are still beautiful and inspiring things in the world. Thankyou
This is fantastic!
It's neat because it shows how fast civilization can topple and disappear as well. How many ancient civilizations are just gone overnight.
Incredible - please do a video about the architecture / fall planning. What an interesting perspective on physics. Thank you.
the forbidden Jenga
good job guys that was amazing and so satisfying to watch
Bravo les gars c'était impressionnant et tlm satisfaisant à voir
so proud of you and your team. it's marvelous.
That was really really amazing and do you peeps have major skills
I love your videos so much
My goodness all of this is just so incredible you deserve infinity subs! ❤
What's going on at 8:20? There's a bunch of jank and artifacting at the bottom-middle of the screen. Seems like editing to me.
Seeing the bird at 8:00 just flying there really makes you notice how much luck was involved for no bird to prematurely topple the whole thing!

Yea
lol

One. Twice.

I rather wondered that it shook only that little. At 25 meters also the slightest disturbances should shake it more.
Cool how the Burj Kalifa model went down.
Most excellent !

That was AWESOME!!!!!!!!😀😀😀😀

Well done.
My heart would not be able to handle building this.
So freaking amazing!!!
But I don't understand. Did you beat the record twice in 4 days or twice in 8 days (4 days to build a tower)?
At 10:52 the pillars fell and the weight couldnt handle it anymore so it collapsed
So funny and strange that I would love to build a 40 meters tall Lego tower. But it would be very annoying for me to build such a Kapla tower. Sounds like I'm no puzzle but a statics guy.
Only the 11 000 € for the Lego bricks hold me back for a Lego world record.
Looks like a rocket, epic
Did any of the wood planks snap
Congratulations to people with a lot of free time.
thats really spokie if you were around NYC during 9/11
No. Really no. Not all in the world is related to 9/11.
NYC and the date 9/11 are related to 9/11 however @@Delibro
@@theSato Yea, but not related to a Kapla tower.
(still wondering how painful it would be)
Imagine being a ant that climes all the way to the top just for it to fall down 1 minute later💀 10:00 10:38
back when i got a small box of kapla it was like 40 for 200 blocks so i cant imagine how much this would have costed
meanwhile these things are built in blender so often as you learn some neat things about it's rigid body physics system.
What if this was a real skyscraper 😮
Surely just have a mold made and release it and voila…
Can you make a Birch Khalifa
This video gives me anxiety.
Pls make collab with taikamuna
Tower 2 was really cool I like the topple of tower2 it looks like it just sink😮😅❤❤🎉🎉
10:37
Can you give me 1 h5 domino criation set plss
❤
The only way I could see the difference was to 😢put a little more in there to see what the difference was between
Good topple, but it didn’t fall as suppose to
The first thing that comes out when I 😢
wow....
Please launch h5 dominos in India
You should have just smashed the base with a shovel or something lol
Use glue.
cant
you just build a 5000 meter tall 1 by??? easy
woooooooooooowwwwwwwwwww
WHAT THE SIGMA
Marry meee 🥰🥰🥰
