It turns out that the vehicle cannot lift up a load of more weight than itself, but it can push. Can anyone explain this?

I'm no scientist but it's likely because due to the pull from the weight the car needs to weigh at least as much or more otherwise it looses the needed traction. Which doesn't happen when it pushes the weight.

Anchor points and traction. Make the angle to the anchor point be lower and where it attaches to the car higher. Then the weight will help push the car into the ground instead of lifting it off the ground. Imagine a tow truck. Edit : A great example is at 2:50, see the angle from the attachment point on the car, the first anchor point of the pulley system is above the car attachment point, the weight will be lifting the back tires off the ground, giving the front wheels extra traction allowing itself to rip itself in 2

Friction. Lifting a weight of more than the weight of the car would require a coefficient of friction over 1, which is uncommon. However, to push more than the cars weight, all one needs is for the normal force of the object being pushed times it's coefficient of friction to be less than the object pushing it. The main difference comes down to slippery plastic vs rubber on carpet.

if the car is less heavier than the load it has no grip to pull the load

Besmirching the FWD by making a rear engine FWD vehicle, so unlike any real vehicle. No wonder it couldn't do anything. There has to be weight on the drive axle to get grip.

The tower tilted on the RWD pull test, resulting in the rope above the wheel centerline. The tension was pulling the rear wheel up, causing it to lose grip.

I cant look at the tower tilting without Any help by other Lego parts. I dont know if je really want to treat his Parts in this way. I couldnt😂

As a fellow creator, love the videos! Next time can you omit the corporate training background music? It was a bit distracting, I would rather just listen to the lego sounds.

6:08 - please don't increase the weight while the structure moves already. There static traction (the one to start moving) is higher than the dynamic one (when things are in motion). The difference depends on many things, so to keep tests consistent you should restart the car each time you add weight.

All in all it doesn't make that much of a difference, since the car pushed the 7kg dumbell from still position. So it can probably push all the other ones just fine.

3:38 I love how it towed the whole pull test setup before it broke!

Your videos were so good I wonder where is all of your viewers

WHOA SICK!

I love that you let complete failure happen before stopping even though you see it coming.

Yo that background instrumental music of pumped up kicks is so soothing

I think MKII could've pulled the 122g, if the tower weren't leaning away, thus raising the pivot point to above the connection point on the car. this essentially lifted the rear of the car, reducing traction. keep the closest pulley on the tower below the attachment point on the car, it'll help it dig in.

Nice video! I really love the quality of your videos :)

I love it, but some notes: - the push test is skewed, as you changed the surfaces area on which the weights are places. For a compareable result, it they weight should always be the same surface area touching the ground. - for the pull test if would probably have been better the build a contruct with two vertival support beams, instead of just a „crane“ type. Less energy during pull would have gone into tranforming the structure ☝️

Actually, the friction does not depend of the surface area. The test is not skewed

Thank you for the great video. I've been struggling with the lack of traction on a mobile two-wheel drive crane for a while now, and your version of 4x4 drive could fit in my chassis, making my life easier :) So please, if you could upload a tutorial or other procedure somewhere, or video/pictures with a detailed look at all parts of the build. Thank you very much.

Boss of the GYM

For inproving the grip you can put lego big gears like wheels and put bricks with toths for having a 100% of friction.

please make more videos like this they are so relaxing and wonderfoul!

I like how the gearbox detaches to prevent Lego and motor damage. very cool stuff

videography top notch

I once made a linear actuator out of lego, a couple of metal washers and powered by an XL motor. It managed to push around 30 kg and lift around 10 - 12 kg before it broke. It was a simple build with a long axle with 6 or 7 of the old wormgears. Thanks for the video. It was very entertaining :)

Your videos are the best ones, I think that you can get to 100.000 fast if you continue like that😃😃😃

Mount the "hook" as high as you can on the back of the vehicle to get more weight transfer from the front of the vehicle to the rear. Increasing traction while pulling.

Well done for using metric measurements. 👏👏👏👏

You should create a somehow of gearbox, because currently you test only engines power. I you will play with different size of cogwheels, you can increase torque.

Nice video!!! 👍👍👍

Nice

Would be cool to see a burnout car build. High wheels speed vs torque getting a perfect balance

I would love to see how much weight the different cars lift with different pulley systems. Like how far can you go with weights (I it can be calculated but seeing it in motion is more fun).

The power of gravity

I watched until the end, this was good. 🤙🏼

thanks to the friction force, without the friction force lego is very strong

Awesome

bros gonna make a lego robot army one day

Well done quality wise. I deal more in the realm of statics rather then dynamic but a few thoughts: Generally, 1) Tires need to over come the friction applied in order to move, there are two parts to this Static and Dynamic friction. Think of it like breaking free and sliding friction. The breaking free force is always going to be higher then the sliding force. These values are (generally) determined by [pressure (i.e. weight) over a given surface area multiplied by a factor based on materials involved], if the wheels are slipping then you are friction limited and either need to change the materials involved, decrease contact patch or increase weight acting on the wheels. 1.1) If your wheels aren't spinning at all then your are torque limited in the current configuration. 1.2) Torque is "lost" in a couple of ways, a significant one is at each joint in an axle configuration. Joints (like the FWD) don't transfer torque very well, using a straight line axle or a direct gear setup would have worked better. Also the FWD was torque limited as well by lack of weight over the driving wheels. 2) Torque can be manipulated by altering the gear ratios as you move through a drive train, however each additional gear in a series adds some torque losses (this is why modern transmissions actually switch drive paths as gears change rather then just adding more gears). If you have a large gear going into a smaller gear you will spin slower (i.e. less HP), but have a higher torque output. This would allow you to lift or pull more weight. 3) Lifting vs Pushing: Excellent observation, in addition to things to others mentioned. Each pulley adds some friction that needs to be overcome, using a single pulley and lifting up through a hole would eliminate that. Also the energy that goes into deforming the tower is energy that can't be used to lift that material upwards. 3.1) Snatchblocks are the key to lifting more weight in a given configuration (see: kzread.info/dash/bejne/f2arlbCTqrPdf7A.html also check out EngineeringExplained for really nerdy automotive engineering)

3 tests on tomorrow and I'm watch someone lifting with lego at 2am. Me: Worth!

It's about *drive* it's about *power* we stay hungry we devour

I'd definitely recommend having a stronger structure to handle the weight of what's lifted. As is, you risk breaking pieces.

You should make the next model a 6x6 with 3 motors

one thing, the FWD model had an open differential whereas the RWD one was locked

Thanks to the gears, we lost speed, but added a lot of torque

I wonder if anyone makes a high torque lego compatible motor, because that would be great for this, and some lego compatible tyres with real car tyre compounds.

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow

I bet you could really smell that motor during this. 😆

So how much weight can they carry on top, considering added weight improves traction, and it could still push 2.5 kg with traction weight on top. Maybe 3-5 kg straight on top?

yes😊😊

it has more traction with more weight because it stops it from hopping

Can you make also 6x6 and 8x8? (and tracks of course)

what does that dark grey cylinder with the tan small gears inside do??

Did you take into account the fiction coefficient when pushing and any resistance exerted by the pulleys?

It is not understandable why multi-stage transmissions are not used in electric cars. Of course, moving a two-ton vehicle takes the most energy, and we move such a vehicle many times. Maybe the speed from 0-100 drops, but it increases and the battery is saved. Even Tesla doesn't do this.

Also can you give us the instructions on how to build something like these machines?

I am done ☺️☺️☺️................

It might move even more if it got a short (slow) run up and bumped into the load it start it moving

Thd crane isnt stable enough. Love how the top whells fell off the stack when you put down that dumbbell though

Very nıce👍👍
