7 Kinetic Sculptures in Lego
Ғылым және технология
7 Lego sculptures in which movement is a basic element. 6 out of 7 are motor-powered. Kinetic art. Enjoy!
0:00 Zylo
0:12 Hyperboloid Spinner
0:35 Contra-Rotating Beams
0:59 Driving Ring
1:30 Tower Curves
2:04 Hoberman Linkage
2:33 Wave Machine
3:25 ALL KINETIC SCULPTURES on a table
Thanks to diamabolo, David C. Roy, aeh5040 and Yoshihito ISOGAWA for the inspiration.
Zylo is based on a wooden kinetic sculpture by David C. Roy.
Hyperboloid Spinner is by diamabolo.
Contra-Rotating Beams idea is from diamabolo, but I used unmodified Lego gears, whereas the original had a hole drilled into a 40-tooth gear.
Tower Curves idea is from aeh5040, but I used different waves and gearing.
Driving Ring idea is from Yoshihito ISOGAWA's "Cycling", but I used a big droid wheel.
Hoberman Linkage is by diamabolo.
Wave Machine is by diamabolo with a few modifications.

I can only imagine how cool these would be as permanent desk sculptures if you could get a silent motor to drive them with nothing but the quiet steady clicking of some of the mechanisms.

having a vibration absorbing mat on the table would go some way to reduce a fair bit of the noise I'd imagine

@@SamGamlllego is by its nature pretty sloppy in tolerance, so a lot of what you hear is actually plastic on plastic chatter from the gears. The motors are actually brushless for the most part, but they drive their output through cheap little ABS gear trains that make lots of gear noise.

My grand-uncle was an architect who loved to build mechanical contraptions out of wood as a hobby. He had made many of these same sculptures by hand with hand-cranks over the years and they were some of my favorite toys growing up

it's kind of like the coolest of magic tricks in that way, isn't it? ie still magical in the whole, even if you know how the magic works in the parts
The "Tower Curves" and the "Hoberman Linkage" were my favorites. Really nicely done. Can't wait to see more of this!
3:33, the one at the bottom right corner of the screen: why am I here, just to suffer?
1:06 General Grievous, we meet again.... And you're still shorter than I expected.
It’s amazing how the tower curves can be perceived like the spinning dancer illusion. I was even able to perceive them moving back and forth instead of spinning in a complete circle in either direction!👁️👁️
The hoberman linkage was really cool. I wonder if it was designed to do something functional originally.

I hope you have seen the LEGO great ball contraption videos (GBC)
3:20 in soviet russia, ground drives you
You never grow out of LEGO, it's just that the way you play with it changes.
I'd like to see you building these machines, like your older videos. All the snapping together and testing and such until the machine worked was very relaxing and fun to watch.
the Hoberman linkage on the dark background would be a phenomenal loading screen/cursor
The wave machine actually did a great job at demonstrating why boats need to be at least a couple of meters long
1:01 One must imagine Sisyphus happy.
This was perfect in every way no added music showing you different angles how they work I love it
no intro no distractions just straight to the point. that’s a w

Never heard of these things but still fascinated to watch them moving. Great video as always.
I LOVE kinetic sculptures. You must be a genius to create those models!
I am in awe already, and I only just finished watching the first contraption. Thank you. My nerdy engineering mind is loving this...
very relaxing to watch
All of these are really cool, but the Tower Curves are by far my favorite.
These make me feel like I'm at a museum!

I want to see each of these structures built in such a way that everything that could go wrong would go wrong, and then the process of identifying the issues and fixing them. It would be a cool way of showing common mistakes when making mechanical devices such as these and how to troubleshoot when mechanical things don't function properly.
The wave invention is 1of the most satisfying machines ever!
I could just watch these over and over!

Oh i see what you mean
The Zylo worked really well: ultra satisfying too!
I've always loved Legos and still buy myself a set for Christmas every year (I'm 51). With some Lego builds I've seen in the last 10 years I'm convinced we should be shipping them to the moon, you can build anything!
I would like to see some of these working with more than one motor, to see just how much of an effect it has on speed
That was satisfying to watch
A moment of silence for the canoe
What a positively extravagant collection of whatchamacallits, gizmos, and doodads!
A kinetic sculpture is not just a work of art, it's a masterpiece in motion
Tower Curves really got my head in a spin.
I could see that last one being a segment in a Great Ball Contraption, it could push through like 10 balls all at once... Very cool stuff as usual.
The Hyperboloid Spinner caught my attention because I made something very similar years ago out of a clear tube, fishing line, and seed beads. I had forgotten about it until now, and now I'm trying to remember if adding the beads and rolling it was my idea originally, or if I was trying to copy something I'd seen elsewhere.
Love the Zylo. Simple, yet fun 🙂
I just want one of those marble slides that toss the ball back up into the top. Those look fun to stare at on a slow work night
Skills displayed by the driver at 1:06 are absolutely incredible.
Technical stuff with legos are one of the best things to exist
Three curve tower looks really cool from the right angle.
These are mesmerizing. Thanks for sharing!
For the wave machine, could you slightly offset the two sides so that the waves also tilt side to side while moving up and down? You’d have to widen the Center channel the waves are riding in but I think it could look pretty cool
You portioned this JUST enough to keep me watching. well done.
Lego sculptures. What a great concept
More, *PLEASE!* - I could watch such stuff four hours… (seriously)
thanks for showing no.6 in slow motion. that way i could determine that i still had no idea what was going on. impressive stuff, brickboy👏👏
Love these!!!! It took me a good minute to figure out how the contra-rotating beams worked, lol. Fantastic explorations of shape!!!!!
DUDE that Tower Curves one is so satisfying!!😃😃
the contra-rotating beams can be modified a bit to be used as really a smooth wave machine
That is really cool and smart at the same time, bravo.
I like that he turns each sculpture so you can see how it works from different angles.
Really cool ideas and motion. Thanks for building and sharing these!
This guy can't miss. Love it
Ok! 5 and 7 have to be my favorite. So trippy lol. Keep up the great work!
1:30 wow that one's so trippy o.O 2:05 and that one looks like CGI with that black background :P
The engineering that can be made with legos is mind boggling.
this lad/lass behind this channel never ceases to amaze me and probably thousands too bravo matey
ngl the rotating beams look a bit like DNA also the tower curves be lookin hella fine lmao and the wave machine is also able to be made in minecraft
Very much👍🏽and ++ to the "wave machine".
2:04 This is the Spahginus Marcronus, also known as, the Macaroni. They measure from 1 inch to 2 inches. They are well known for their presence in various meals spanning from their discovery from 1872. They are also for their coordinated mating dances where 8 of them, 4 being male and the latter half being female, dance in a specific pattern, very reminiscent of the Hoberman Linkage. As the Macaronis start linking to one another, that is where the mating begins, and they still perform the mating dance with it. As for the Macaronis that were either left out or simply just make an imbalance in the dance’s system, they were destined to find another group of Macaronis to perform the mate dancing with. This specie of Spahginus is rather interesting, and how they mate is simply just magnificent to watch. The Spahginus kingdom of animals aren’t exactly well known for this type of mating, it would only simply be of drenching themselves on a vat of hot water, killing themselves, to mate with one another in what could be assumed, an orgy. But for the Marcronus, each of the Macaroni still live, after mating, which fascinated biologists for years, studying on this wonderful creature. They are truly a sight to see, in the Animal Kingdom.

Some of your shots look unreal! Like it is made in 3D!! But all the sudden we see your hands!!! Looks awesome:)
The Hoberman linkage would work well as a loading spinner indicator
Absolutely brilliant
Super fun creations! I love the last two!!!
That Hoberman linkage is crazy
I wonder if the wave machine can have its actuators shafts phased differently, so it also bobs and weaves to the sides. The center link (or the whole way the wave boards are connected to the shafts) would have to be redesigned, but that one is so awesome. Awesome job!
This is totally contemporary art. Wow!
Amazing
This is like a massage for my brain, thank you
Congrats for passing 3M Very satisfying video
Reminds me of those orokin sculptures in warframe, really cool.
"This is our little brother, Zylo, he doesn't run on a motor but we love him nonetheless."
I used to be obsessed with stuff like this as a kid, when I was 8 I remember making a motorized ferris wheel that was just a bit taller than me. Shortly after that I bought my first PC so all these toys suddenly seemed so limited and I never touched any of it again.
The tower curves is trippy, its so cool
wave machine looks satisfying
