A never ending (theoretically) domino ring, built using LEGO bricks. Turn on captions for some commentary on the build.

Building instructions: jkbrickworks.com/infinite-domino-ring/

1 hour live stream test: youtube.com/live/UtSvkF64d6w

The ring contains 64 dominos. A ramp runs along the inside of the ring, opposite the falling dominos, to lift them back up. A Mindstorms EV3 is used to monitor and control the speed of the ramp so that it matches the falling dominos.

Shout out to @GrantDavis for his awesome infinite domino machine (   • Infinite LEGO Domino Machine (World R...  ), which inspired me to finally finish this project.

  • You know, this would be an amazing loading screen for a Lego game.

    Gotta love the engineering behind using the sensor to speed up or slow down when necessary, essentially eliminating randomness. And the smart move to close it by going really fast, so the dominos end up upward.

    Everyone be talking about engineering and how cool this is (which I absolutely agree with) while I’m just here in my early morning state and enjoying how relaxing this is. No annoying clickbait, no screaming/hyping up the viewer, just a guy building something cool with legos. This is what YouTube should be.
  • @VoidSpirals
    The struggle towards getting up after being knocked down again and again is enough to fill a machine’s heart. One must imagine the legos happy.
  • @Qichar
    This is impressive. Your speed control allows this contraption to work on different planets with different gravity values. You know, in case you get stuck on the moon with a bunch of Legos and nothing else to do.
  • @Hanatash
    This is a sweet build. If the motor was quieter, the clacking of the dominoes would be very relaxing.
  • This must be the new World Record! The difficulty of solving the synchronization problem is seriously underrated. Such an elegant final design. Bravo!
  • @akanten
    This is THE most satisfying build I have ever seen. It is hypnotizing, complex and also simple at the same time. Well done! It should be on display some where. Contemporary art.
  • This is genuinely the most satisfying thing that exists that's not a 3D render animation.
  • Not enough space here to express how incredible this really is. Inspirational engineering... This world needs so many more like you!
  • @Abicated
    This may be one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen designed.
  • I would fully expect to see something like this in the window of a toy shop, running indefinitely to attract attention. Very cool, love the build
  • So uh… can we have a hour long version of this…? It’s so cool to watch, I want it to keep going!!!

    I love that you show each advancement of the mechanism even though it means disassembling parts repeatedly
