Shifting Sand With LEGO!

Published 2024-07-05
I build and test various LEGO machines to try and move as much sand as possible in 2 minutes! Using LEGO and LEGO Technic the designs become increasingly complex!

    I can only imagine that sand being rough, coarse and irritating. Plus, I know it'll just get everywhere.
  • @vladisfaer
    In the case of the bucket, it was necessary to add a conveyor and an incline for the buckets. Then the result would be a technically correct design.
  • @cuberyllium
    You uploaded right when I couldn't find any good videos!
  • I think the first one didn't have enough area of support with the ground, and wasn't high enough, leading to the tracks digging into the sand and it getting high centred

    Bucket Wheet would have been much more effective if you put 8 buckets instead of 4 and a transport band to move the sand to the other side (as MouldKing 17006 or Lego 42055 do)
  • @pinguino5105
    The reason the first bulldozer built drove so poorly was because there wasn't any ground pressure between the 2 wheels, so basically it wasn't much different from just being a wheeled vehicle.
  • @thundercactus
    I feel like this was an excuse to just build a bucket wheel. And I loved it.
  • @jcbro86
    Your windmill is a great way to explain erosion to people.
  • @bricklejar
    3:27 This is what i wished the 42055 bucket wheel was. Instead we got this sluggish heap that LEGO somehow thought would run off 1 motor.

    Bro casually built a miniature Bagger 293 💀

    The scraper is what the bulldozer would've been if it had been built better. More bottom clearance and bigger bite would help with the getting stuck problem.
  • Something like an Archimedes screw would have been interesting.
  • @unforade
    these ideas were cool, only haters would say "just break the wall"
  • @Nozochi
    i do love myself some technic engineering love the bucket-square btw
