  • what is the point of this?

  • @partaayqueen Reduced friction. There are ball bearings even in your bike.

  • Tell me how this has ANYTHING to do with sparkler bombs... wtf

  • @glacialwings You mean how sparkler bombs have ANYTHING to do with this?

  • Dudes, what the fuck are you commenting about this lego shit. I honeslty have no idea how I got here and don't get any of what these retro lego balls are for. As soon as I heard this minimalistic genius music, I had to know what it is and I can't find it anywhere amidst all these useless comments about balls and legos lol.

    What. is. this. song. ?.

    It's turning into an obsession. I've heard it 487.5 times since yesterday

  • @YornMan In this case sir, this is "Waiting For You" by Cult Of Luna.

  • Not sure if someone else have pointed out. strictly speaking, you built a thrust bearing.

  • @erkeurpurgwurg You could probably make an axial needle roller bearing with "cannonballs"? As a kid I had this pirate lego, with this cylindrical cannonballs. If I remember correctly you can also stack them, making a number of different lengths. I guess these cannoball parts are used to other things as well.

  • @searme For non-engineers: reduce friction = reduced wear and necessary

    force to rotate the device. But that usually isn't a big problem with Lego as the products doesn't get used as much as say, a bike (I would presume!) :] This is awesome though

  • little kids might not be able to appreciate this but i have family working in the ball bearing industry for various applications so its a really nice idea

  • How did I get on the weird part of youtube again>?

  • WHOA WHOA WAIT!!... How did a Skyrim video get me here?

  • This costs about $60 in legos; purism hurts :[

  • this music makes me.. feel.. weird.

  • can it blend??
