I'm glad you think it looks cool! Although I understand what you're saying, this record is not only related to the number of links, but that the chain runs continuously yet in 3 separate planes, all having to be achieved through 90-degree twists of the chain. It's a challenge of engineering, but also of making a beautiful and satisfying end product, not just of setting a record. I hope this helps make the project more exciting to you!

Add a gear on some kind of mechanism so you can add a spring to it to tension the entire chain. Currently its quite loose as seen by some gears just not even having the chain on it constantly.

the main reason this record cant be beat is because of the financial ruin it would bring to anyone who tried to afford more, in all seriousness though this was super neat!

The only thing id do to make it more fun to watch is to paint a snake onto the brown links, then maybe put some stuff that looks like rocks/brushy stuff for it to "crawl" through.

For the next iteration, have the hub count the links as they pass by for even more impressive numbers! 😃

hmm what if a tram system worked this way, there would need to be 0 delays though or the system gets annoying, but it would only need to be powered from one place, chain tenstion check stations would be needed too.

When I was watching this, I was thinking about Snake, the game... Nice attempt. I'm sure you can make it in a cube with 6 sides?

Do they make glow in the dark LEGO chain? I think it would be really cool to do this again with all black parts and a segment of glowing chain and film it running in the dark.

The white chain piece looks like a lil man running laps around gears

How satisfying, I can watch this all day 😌

Remember how old machines working? Using big metals like big hammers big jaws And they are working Synchronously like beauty dancer Yeah, they are working like this using long chains and powered by one big steam engine

The first thing that came to mind was the title but to the tune of the battle of New Orleans, and I misread 1184 as 1814: There was 1,814 Lego chain links, All tangled up into one big machine.

Very entertaining and fun to watch. Thanks for posting this.

Kinda wish the walls were black too, it looks awesome against the black base. 🤩

Now create a machine that assembles these chain links for you, travels through the system, and then disassembles the chain ready to reassemble it again. ;)

@@BrickMachines1 Yeah, a while back I tried seeing if Spintronics components could be driven via Technic motors. The gear-tooth spacing looks so similar, and the teeth feel like they mesh, but they're just _ever so slightly off_ so Spintronics chain links (which assemble the exact same way Lego ones do) have a "tooth mismatch" after six or so links with Technic gears, and vice versa. ...I think they might have done that due to avoiding any risk of trademark/copyright/patent infringement? I also tried seeing if a Technic motor could direct-drive (gear-to-gear, no chain) a Spintronics junction... it sorta worked, but eventually they pushed each other apart from the misstepping due to the Spintronics gear teeth sticking out slightly further than Technic. So close!

Hi ProfJos! I do love your builds 💯 The record I'm attempting here is not just total links, but the highest number of continuous links running in 3 separate planes using twisting links.
