Making a Drone with Lego Motors and Propellers

Probably a price thing. Batteries are so expensive even for low voltages

The big problem with doing this to LEGO motors is that you will wear them out quickly.. A few dozen hours of runtime with possibility of fire.. vs. Many years of use and safety.
That and they start becoming less.. safe to play with.. :)

@@Typhyr hahahahahaha
Epicman Ginger there’s important wires and motors in it
flying indoors is extremely hard, especially flying slowly. Aerodynamics become even more complicated when close to large flat perpendicular solid objects like walls. Not only there's no GPS for the drone to help maintain itself at a certain space, but you will find your drone always 'gravitating' toward walls. I learned it the hard way when I tried to fly my brand new drone inside my home. Needless to say, I needed new propeller blades.
Pfffft you expect this guy to “touch grass”
Epic Dud go back to fucking minecraft
@@obeseperson ??
Have you heard about plastic rollcages? You can mount them at the foot from the rotor and you will have a lightweight but sturdy barrier out of plastic around your rotors. These hit the wall first and have the property that they bounce and ricochet from the walls so your blades stay in one piece😊
I guess that is what happened in that meme when then drone fairy flew straight into the fireplace lol
1 mins silence for the lego man who died in the crash. RIP
Really cool. Not only that flying the drone WITHOUT a gyroscope and automatic is really difficult, the fact that you built it from LEGO Incl. built the electronics yourself: RESPECT! BTW... flying in such tight, closed spaces is EVEN harder because the air turbulence of the probers reflects on the walls.

The fact that 100 years ago this technology was ludicrous, flying less than a meter off the ground in non free flight only for it now to be buildable for regular people with children's toys given enough time, effort and research.
Yes M8. Take it out side. Set it free. Brilliant build video I did a similar thing with bits of old plastic green house and the accelerometer from a Nintendo wii controller 10 years ago using Multiwii software one of the most enjoyable things I've ever done.
Me, an intellectual: oh mmmh thrust440, that’s good, mmmh yes
From what I am seeing in seems like that just means the thrust is strong enough to lift 440 grams of weight. This way he can figure out how heavy the drone can be and what batteries to use.
At first I thought he meant 440g as is the gravitational constant and was very confused. Because that would mean this little fucker of a drone would wizz around with 440 times of earth's standard gravitational pull... Which be around 4 km per second, so like 2,5 miles per second.
Which would be really fucking fast...

Making a drone with Lego parts : 500$

Making a drone out of proper parts for less than $500, has an FPV system so flying it is like a video game, can fly 3-5 minutes on a full battery, hits 60MPH in less than 2 seconds, and reaches speeds of 80 to 120MPH: Even better.
DakotaSkies FPV yeah but... LEGO
Yes, nothing taking away from how cool it is that this is made out of lego.
However practicality, reusability and fun factor in. This is a great demonstration that it could be done but this is a proof of concept, not a DIY replacement for a real drone. This kind of drone would get boring quickly, barely has more thrust than it's own weight and flies for maybe 2 minutes.
Spent $120-$200 and get a Tiny Whoop, which gives you that video game feel, gets about the same flight time and won't get boring to fly

@@expiredgoatmeal1666 True enough, but the problem-solving to find the right input modifiers and trimming it up manually is genuinely hard, especially when you're working with a system where the motors are absolutely not designed with this degree of precision. That's truly difficult, and it's very easy for us to sit here and say "welllll the hard part is done for him with the FC chip" but to be honest, this is well beyond most of us.
