Lego 1440 rpm V8

[labreckcanskate3]

That's alot of rpms for plastic if you think about it I'm surprised it didn't fall apart at all at that speed

[JR113FTW]

now you need something to put it in

[ahodina9811]

cool. What does "rpm" mean?

[Mrmichaelmcginley]

@ahodina9811 RPM means Revolutions Per Minute. or rotations per minute .

the number of full rotations completed in one minute around a fixed axis/shaft

[oliazadehali]

Never run an engine without oil.

[LilSayo]

And I've made a lego house today...

[TheHellkatt13]

Needs juice.

[Magyarvadasz]

Oil?

[aztekwarrior518]

that still sounds twice as good as a honda

[raifUSA]

24 people don't have LEGOS at home

[origamix72]

is that glued together?

[Trikster1of4]

@spader111click

Damnit I was just about to say that lol

[ihave2rocks]

So you need an air compressor to power the engine?

[nicjasno]

@ihave2rocks Yes.

[ihave2rocks]

@ihave2rocks a lego compressor or full size compressor?

[CrazyMan15218]

@ihave2rocks well if not you could also blow into the tube

[ihave2rocks]

how much $

[nicjasno]

@ihave2rocks The LPEpower V8 is 299 euros.

[spader111click]

Insert finger

[MrGtaluca]

wow! very cool!

[chahine0509]

c'est pas possible on dirait un LEGO

[MrSn95guy]

DUDE HYBRID AS SHIT.... NICE!!!!!!!!!

[mapukmapuk]

how much HP lol?

[TheStevester2]

2.5 hp ha ha

[mapukmapuk]

@TheStevester2 wow nice you can build now scooter

[1mtk]

Can you make a rotary engine now?

[Arnoti1994]

wtf, that's so awsome!!!! XD

[legolover1962]

Were do u get that yellow rpm piece

[Theroblobloman]

0:03 ah i love that dodge sound :)

[stutzedward]

I can't imagine the frictions between the blocks. Will completely wear down the plastics if prolong running it. It's very cool.

[ThleTruth]

can u imagine putting that in a lego car :|

[mikerozo]

so when its gonna start ? o.O

[carloshalo3]

how this work??

[Treetop64]

I'd love to see a Lego 9 or 18 cylinder radial engine. Now THAT would be cool!

[Portum5]

Civic Engine?

[BVanSittert56]

@Portum5 hahahahaha

[neweggbuilt]

Now don't get the timing off because it will blow up into a million pieces if you do

[pingpongpung]

How is this lubricated?

[LongRangeBullet]

sounds like a tractor

[juufa72]

how do you deal with the heat and friction?

[pervectra]

Coooooooooool :-)

[BaxtorArtard]

I think I found my next big block build.

[budz1031]

where can i buy that?



[nicjasno]

@budz1031 on the LPEpower homepage.

[streetcornerjames]

I love it

[nintendoguy17]

put your finger in it =P

[LiquidChem]

modify to run on gasoline=WINNING!

[MineCraftFilms]

stick your finger in it.

[yxc38]

wie baut man so was

[yxc38]

wie baut man so was

[xxxSNEYxxx]

однако мощный двигатель

[coolgames14]

need a supercharger + blower

[heymynameistyler]

needs a bigger cam haha 

[sweet58441]

how many horses does that thing have

[TeenageIronman]

a good steam engine

[TheMIRFI]

Nice sound!

[assailant85]

you should make it work with fuel!

[rcexpert4]

don´t you worry of runnung it at so high rpm? and does it heat up?

[eddhedd]

There is an aweful ticking noise from your cylinder head

[blabblah69]

but will it blend?

[BIGCAL50CAL]

I think it has a tick...

[wursthunter]

nice... how much HP does it have?

[242tdryan]

so if you hooked up a little boiler with steam pressure would you technicaly have a engine?

[STBTD]

Sound like it needs an oil change!

[FLCLCBSC]

2012 PRIUS engine

[GoGoggansGo]

@FLCLCBSC sounds better than a prius too

[MegaSk2009]

thats cool as hell! i love your small motors but this takes the cake

[SummonSuffering]

is that made entirely from lego pieces?

[yankeessuck309]

dude I think you might be on to something with this idea. it could teach idiots like me about how an engine works with something I can relate to! nice work

[Kegath]

haha stick a finger in there XD

[colonist067]

This begs the question: Can a fully functional Lego car be done?

[aotearoa83]

That's nuts

[lexugax]

Smells like burning plastic...

[kpgpwi64]

sounds like my honda civic.......vtec just kicked in yo

[satans8937]

I gotta echo eurotrends. I absolutely love how when you let it idle and rev it, it actually sounds like a real V8 that's just had a few sound filters run over it to raise the pitch and drop any bass.

[stumblinbear]

this is the engine of tomorrow!!!

[dacasman]

this is my favorite engine you made. I really wish you sold these on your site.

[nicjasno]

@dacasman It's also useless shit. The ones i sell on my site are MUCH better.

[dacasman]

@nicjasno why is it useless shit? I like your other engines too, but If I were to buy one of these it would be to display it, and I like the look and sound of this one more.

[nicjasno]

@dacasman I guess if you had it for display only... but it uses up 8 switches, it has soft tubing which pops out under load and the crankshaft just bends when under stress. It's totally useless as a powersource.

[hemicud4]

@nicjasno useless or not, its still cool



[carmanino]

@dacasman were did u get the speed thing?

[TheAlexagius]

could be used in one of those lego production lines as a power source

[greatgnomex]

Its a real explosion motor fueled by gasoline? or use other kind of fuel? Electric? phneumatic perhaps?

[greatgnomex]

Its a real explosion motor fueled by gasoline? or use other kind of fuel?

[nicjasno]

@greatgnomex It's pneumatic. Works simmilar to a steam engine, but with compressed air instead of steam.

[nicjasno]

@greatgnomex It's pneumatic. Works simmilar to a steam engine, but with compressed air instead of steam.

[eurotrends2010]

@nicjasno i love this engine because when you rev it up at a low rpm it sounds like an alcohol drag engine, probably why i would buy one, the other ones don't sound as good, also it would be for display, i would probably use one of your other engines for my model drag car because my pneumatic engine sucks :s

[keyboardjeff]

@greatgnomex If this engine would use gasoline, it would make much more noise.

[TheAirsoftknight]

if you dislike this you put ur finger in the piston

[Hardwyre]

Why the hell would anyone dislike this?

[brandon9491]

how much BHP? =]

[Matinator97]

@brandon9491 OVER NINE THOUSAND! lol

[DlABL0GlCAL]

This is not an engine, but a motor requiring compressed-air as it's power source, or not ?

[dade356]

@DlABL0GlCAL correction it runs like a steam engine and it is tecnically an engine

[ohlsen1973]

There is only one drawback with this engine. It lacks the smell of fuel

[guygti22]

thats cool as sh*T. i want one!!!

[capman419807]

the future of Toyota.

[DerKleineTilman]

Wow, it even sounds like a real v8...kind of...:D

[71Merc]

If it ever melted, you could just melt it down into a new engine.

[hashrulsubzero]

:o awesome

[GuiTheBest889]

theres some crazy shiit on this world

[036265]

well that puts my lego space ship to shame...

[revolutionpheonix]

could i power my wife like that?

[fresnosk8r]

i could run my vw on this...

[MaJixGAGT]

Must be internal combustion

[1100lolbroek]

@MaJixGAGT

[tommolloydman]

you should put tiny tacks in it, then shove it in someone's face...god im seriously fucked up arent i?

[drumwolf22]

where can you get lego pneumatics these days without purchasing an entire kit? I cannot find them anywhere!

[newyorkairsoft]

imagine, an iphone and ipad powered by this thing!!

[hanserclimbs]

It's naturally balances by the v-8 shape, right?

[kenope]

what makes it go?

[jpm727]

@kenope compressed air

[yjcrookie]

Where do you get spark plugs that small?

[Monso]

Lego RC derby car race.

[XxJesseXdrummerxX]

I was waiting for legos to go flying everywhere

[MattTrevett]

It sounds good.

[TrikkyMakk]

You ever get your finger caught in that thing?

[Bungle]

People, the reason why common combustion engines run hot, is mostly because of... well... COMBUSTION. This is not a combustion engine.

Sure the cylinders might get a little temperature from friction alone, but the creator said he used lube.

[echo11nike]

But can it run Crysis?

[billcozby]

Did you lubricate the cylinders? (serious question)

[alexgeekcouk]

Does/can it actually drive anything?

[link182ava44]

@alexgeekcouk look at his other videos

[JoninFlaco]

this is the answer to a greener car! LEGO engines!

[tecumsehmike1]

SOMEBODY got to much tym on ther hands haha.

[laheysafckindrunk]

@tecumsehmike1 Who's Tym? You should invite him over sometime

[tecumsehmike1]

@laheysafckindrunk wut if itsa her?

[laheysafckindrunk]

@tecumsehmike1 Then make sure the lights are off, cause I think a her tym might be scary

[EnderofGames]

22 people have never tried to build anything with Lego before...

[gunshow589]

could you please post a video on how you made it

[TheRavensArk]

It sounds like a rotary engine ~.~

[soelvmanke]

LoL that is nice :P even have the V8 sound.. :)

[semifuck]

How about installing it into a LEGO trunk or super car?

[MrLouis0304]

how strong is it?

[gta4everybody1]

is running on gas ? 

[turchenko]

compressed air?

[imthatguy223]

i love legos

[faddakill000]

is this one of those peumatic ones or a normal lego one

[kuza261]

i think someone should make a lego car a person can actually get into and drive

[SuaveDeadPython]

Now all that needs to be done is build a car around it.

[Roadball]

How many miles per gallon?

[frenchi1986]

Who the fuck hit "dislike" ???

[nightfoxx26]

@frenchi1986 'bout 21 ppl who dont have lego

[Srlancelot39]

@nightfoxx26 "I pity the foo who doesn't have Lego Technic!"

[freakskater854]

now build it a tranny lol

[KONRADXF]

Great Maestro!!

[genegene002]

I can see you making a lego gocart next! :) Thats an awsome little engine you have there!! I built a v6 plastic model one and broke the flywheel! All them hours were wasted! I bought another but never even opened the box! That was years ago!

[MrGimli2]

show how you built it would be very cool

[gavquinn]

Sounds like an 80's mercedes... :)

[tons241]

Holy shit that's cool

[PAVONEZORZ]

Have you ever considered doing an I6?

Also, would some sort of turbo charger work with this? XD

[HighAway]

how ironic.

[Ironbirdx]

thats what i call "air cooled" :D

[dehotshot1]

Ayyy Where Can U But Dat ? !

[javraj87]

You are a Genius!

[Chokermax]

dont you worry about the engine running to hot?

[nicjasno]

@Chokermax No, because it doesn't get hot at all.

[sacr3]

@nicjasno The friction from the plastic pieces rubbing will eventually cause them to melt, I believe thats what he meant about the "heat"

[nicjasno]

@sacr3 I know what he ment. But the friction is minimal, especially due to lubrication. And its additionally cooled by the air. It doesn't even get warm to the touch.

[Srlancelot39]

@nicjasno ya, i was gonna say, if designed properly (which it clearly is) there will not be sufficient friction present to produce heat. good job!

[CRFbadass]

@nicjasno OR maybe it was just a joke? dingdingding

[snackajacques]

@nicjasno LOL. I think he was joking.

[rappincatjoe]

@nicjasno wild.

[ofnarcr]

@nicjasno well of course not.. its plastic and it doesn't conduct heat worth a crap..

[feeboo44]

@Chokermax too

[marco1231151231]

@Chokermax its lego man XD

[KMSvehla]

put it in a car



[bettydaw1970]

is this an actual gas combustion engine? or a replica powered by elect?

[nicjasno]

@bettydaw1970 Neither. It's powered by compressed air.

[bettydaw1970]

@nicjasno

well its artifically run then as if it was run with electricity, its not an actually functioning engine, just a display

[nicjasno]

@bettydaw1970 It runs like a steam engine, with the compressed air replacing steam. No electricity involved. The engine provides ample power to move heavy lego vehicles, as seen in my other videos.

[bettydaw1970]

@nicjasno

thats awesome man!!!!

do u see them?

[jimmjimm6699]

@nicjasno then why would multiple cylinders matter.... it isnt going to make it more powerful
