I Made The World's STRONGEST LEGO L-Motor!!

Brick experiments has lifted 200 pounds with a single motor. The main issue you ran into was no additional gearing/tackle, and of course just the lego axels having limited strength. It's a good start and I'd love to see your motor power things once you have a better output system

As an engineer I can tell you: with one of these you can't move a car But if you build 2 of these motors they could actually move you in a small rideable thing like a go cart. Lego built a full size driveable Bugatti Chiron, they used 1.500 L-Motors which produces a torque of 50-74 Newtonmetres.

Who’s gonna tell him that no matter how strong a motor is, you can always outperform it using gear ratios, leverage and pulleys?

You could literally do the same thing with 1 Lego motor. You would just need a high torque compounded gear ratio, similar to what you have done at 8:03 but the opposite way around. But what you did is not completely useless because just making a very high torque gear ratio would make the last gear spin very slowly, you made the last gear spinning quickly while still having a lot of torque.

The motor can lift 20 lbs, and I cannot curl a 20lb dumbbell with my left arm. I'd say this machine has superhuman strength.

Yes, build three more! In a sense, you've basically combined all the torque from each motor. I think it's safe to bet that it's even stronger than the metal motors you find in RC toys

A thoughtful commentary on the wonders, but also the dangers, of technological progress. When he said "it's L-motoring time," I cried. The apocalyptic ending was fearsome. Truly one of the films of all time.

As an engineer, I can give a couple of tips: 1. Use gears connected in parallel on the same axis. This will increase the strength several times. 2.Under high load, the axles also bend. You can use the holes in the gear to connect it to the load. 3.Reduce the load on the intermediate gears. Add gears and gearboxes separately for each engine. Exclude all gears connecting the motors together except the central one. 4. Reduce the speed in favor of power - increase the gear ratio with a multi-level gearbox, similar to the one at the end of the video. I'm sorry if I made a mistake in words - I'm an engineer, not a linguist.

LEGO Technic team actually did make a car, a Bugatti Chiron once with LEGO and even with a powerful LEGO motor engine, the same principle as here. This is really mind-blowing. #LEGOtechnic

I wonder if there's a point where the friction caused by extra gears counteracts the torque created by extra motors? Like if there's an upper limit on how much you can get out of Lego motors

While watching this I got a giant wave of nostalgia, remembering when I played with legos all the time 🥲

5:17 "its a bit sturdier its quite a bit larger" got me laughing in the central square

I have a feeling that this will be Riley's only creation that serves as an powerful alternative to other motors. SOOOO EXITED!

Brick Experiment Channel does a lot of Lego gear ratios. He's got metal axles that he uses sometimes because they don't bend and twist as easily. You could check those out

I’m not sure how hard it would be but I would love to see around four of these put together to make a Lego engine for a functional Lego car

I think if you were to redo it with with those custom metal axles you could really push the motor to it’s limits. You should also maximise torque over speed by making the gear transfer multi-level, where each gear transfers to a bigger gear, then a smaller gear on that same axle transfers to a bigger gear. It’ll allow you to drive way more with the motor

Won't be as powerful as the Bugatti, Lego made. It had 200~ motors in it

YES! make a CAR using four of those on each wheel! I think it would work!!

POV:your an engineer and your addicted to lego:

Put 2 opposite of eachother, connected to a diff. Your power will double, and make up for whichever assembly has the first failing motor. Then, feed it into the greatest reduction train that you can fit between the two enclosures. Have an output at a 90 degree angle. Build 3 more, and have them all feed into the same reduction gear. That would be a start. I'll buy Lego stocks in the meantime 😆
