Though I am still working full time, I have a giant list of amazing creations that I want to build and I won’t let something like a lack of time distract me from that. Dominos are just the tip of the iceberg!

The history of Lego magnets is much more storied than just the trains theme! They were used across a diverse range of themes including Aquanauts, City, and Star Wars. The fan favorite theme "M:Tron" was based entirely on magnetic play features (hence the "M"!) Sometime in the early 2000s, the small magnetic elements were ditched, likely due to the possibility of internal damage in case a child were to swallow a pair of them. Many other toy companies did the same around this time (Buckyballs my beloved.) Lego trains are still produced into the modern era, and now connect using larger, less swallowable elements (much to the disappointment of trains fans like myself.) Just a bit of fun trivia. If anyone actually reads all this, i appreciate u :)

@hollt693
Жыл бұрын
There might also be an issue with too much energy building up in the system. As we saw in that clip of each domino knocking over a progressively larger one, there's a lot of potential energy stored in a set up domino, and it can output more kinetic energy than it takes to knock it over, so in the case of a perpetual ring of dominoes, each one might get "pushed" harder than the previous, with an unknown upper bound.

@hollt693
Жыл бұрын
@@0osk Great question! By standing the domino up, you're putting in a position where its center of mass is a fair bit higher off the ground than if it was laying flat, so while you're not technically setting it up ON something, you're sort of setting it up on itself, if that makes sense. In a more extreme example, imagine I stood a sledgehammer up balanced on the flat at the end of the handle with the head high in the air. It would only take a stiff breeze to topple it, but you'd better believe the head will hit the ground a lot harder than the force required to knock it over.
@DqwertyC

I think the main issue will be timing... If they aren't reset at the exact same rate they're knocked down, one end of the cascade will catch up with the other. It will probably need some sort of feedback system to account for this
@0osk
Жыл бұрын
@@hollt693 I know that the force required to cause something to release its stored potential energy can be less than the energy stored. I'm saying a domino can't hit the ground with more force than is required to set it up in the first place. Like in the small to big domino example, the big domino hits the ground so hard because more than that same amount of energy was used to set it up in the first place.

I love the circular infinite domino idea. It will have to be a very wide circle to give each arm enough time to reset the domino. Also, because the backstop for each domino is attached to the lever raising the domino in front of it, you may have issues with setting them up asynchronously

@@GrantDavis According to my quick math, using 7 secs for a full cycle, and one domino unit being 16 lego "studs" big, 11:10 in the vid (12,8cm) and a falling speed of 15 per second , you need at minimum 105 units for a smooth loop, so a circle with a circumference of 13,44meters and a diameter of 4,3 meters and an angle of 3,4degrees per unit. So your current setup at 11:11 is already good enough to reach the minimum of 3,4degrees. So you need 10x the amount that you currently have. Gotta be really interesting how you gonna fix the synchronicty issue. each cycle the machine is gonna be a little bit out of sync, and building too early or too late. Apparently with lego mindstorms you can toggle motor speed and have pressure sensors, so maybe with that.

@@looserkidful Yeah need a way to detect when the piece falling in some way, or it'll go out of sync quickly. Wonder if there are mechanical shortcuts that don't use pressure sensors and (electronically?) alters speed. Maybe can have the falling domino engage the gears in some way, and then have the lifting up cycle disengage the gears again at the end of the cycle. Each unit would be a bit like that box with a single switch that opens and flips the switch back.
@dig8634

@@ChristofferFlensburg Do you need to detect at all? The individual pieces that push up the dominos are attached to gears, no? Set them up in different stages of the process, so they all work at the same pace, but at different times. Assuming you can rotate the gears to even work in a circle like that. If not, you would have to have motors for each individual section of the loop.

Lego's have changed since I was 7. Having worked in the automotive powertrain division (years later) the work completed there was often tested using mini models made from wood scrap. Everything begins with a blank sheet of paper and develops from there. Very cool Lego contraptions. I think I know what I'm getting myself for Christmas. 🙂
I love how nerdy this is. I'm not a geek but I was definitely geeking out. Awesome video
Even just the linear version of this would make a stunning piece on a coffee table or workspace. Its absolutely beautiful in terms of design and i love the doors that hide the mechanism. I would buy this to make one myself or even the 2.0 version thats circular. 10/10

In this video, the 10 dominoes take about 1 second to fall and about 6 seconds to reset. that means a circular loop will need to be at least 70 dominoes long if everything else is unchanged.
Awesome! Really looking forward to the infinite loop idea. I guess this would require to be so large that when the effect started, the cascade must take so long to complete the loop so that the dominoes can be set up before the cascade hits them again. Would certainly be a crazy thing to watch :D
