Hi everyone,
here's some more and less useful approaches to replace the (expensive) original Lego shock absorbers with your own ones, which are much cheaper and customizable than the normal ones.
Enjoy watching,

I love the ideas! The thing to remember with rubber bands is that the force required to stretch them decreases as they are stretched. In contrast most springs and shocks in real life are progressively harder as they reach maximum compression.

Sounds like it would make for very bouncy car suspension.

Not really, while it is still easier to tension rubber band than to compress a spring, it has S shaped curve overall, not getting really easier

@alecrog7925 6 ай бұрын

That's wrong, it would collapse if the force needed to stretch it reduced with the strain

@iasha740 5 ай бұрын

@@alecrog7925 Exactly, either physics or grammar have left the chat. Maybe he tried to explain the difference between the linear increase in force required to compress a spring VS the EXPONENTIAL increase in force to compress an AIR spring. That's the only difference there is.

The magnetic one is interesting, because for normal springs the relation is F = c * x, but I believe for magnetic fields their strength is related to the inverse of the distance squared, so F = f(1/(x^2))

As always, some great ideas here. 7/9 could be tweaked by using two different sized gears to achieve different spring rates and strokes.

If your lego vehicle is large and heavy , you can consider building a torsion bar suspension with long black axle One issue is the axle has to be very long for it to have any use and it worked pretty well on my lego tank

@17HoursOfSleep 2 күн бұрын

heres a tip for anyone looking to purchase springs to place over lego axles. to have a flawless fit, make sure to buy "0.5x(desired length)" size springs. 0.55 works as well, but for a perfect fit, buy 0.5MM.

@Tuck-Shop 7 ай бұрын

Another idea, using the black rods as torsion bars. Or connecting another lever to the end opposite the wheel arm and attaching a rubber band to it.

Technically these are all springs, not shock absorbers. Springs _store_ energy, shock absorbers _dissipate_ energy. The first official LEGO part _looks_ like the combined spring & shock absorber strut as found in e.g. cars, but it is still just a spring. LEGO did in fact make a "proper" shock absorber part 32181 (using air damping, not oil damping).

@in1 6 ай бұрын

Yep, I just called them shock absorbers because that's what the most common part is called, but you're right, technically they are springs

I wanna try 2 as a pushrod suspension suspension. The extra length doesn't matter if it's buried deeper in the model.

@tangentfox4677 7 ай бұрын

4 would be good for pushrod too. :D

@tangentfox4677 7 ай бұрын

Combining the magnetic absorber with any of the other springed methods would probably make a pretty good system overall.

@Rose_Butterfly98 7 ай бұрын

Is it possible to make one that twists the spring so it acts like a torsion bar? That way you can make f1 style suspension

@aquariusxp 7 ай бұрын

@felixarvid4177 7 ай бұрын

what if you combine the spring one and the magnetic one? the spring act as compression and the magnet as rebound. Place it on top of each other.

@ivansmith654 7 ай бұрын

Here is a FYI which means nothing in the Lego world because you can do anything you want even if it is not done in the real world but here is the FYI the spring shock absorbers on most real cars have the spring on the top of the shock absorbers where you had it on the bottom but in the Lego world you put the spring where you want it peace to you a great video nonetheless!

I'd love a car hovering on magnets. Would look so nice and also be frictionless

@kinderwaff 7 ай бұрын

You've put a lot of consideration into lenght of the absorbers, but unfortunately they're mostly useless. They would collapse under the weight if the model. The solution might be a stronger rubber band, but then the angles and forces in a compressed and retracted state might be too strong. TLDR; not that useful. Cool idea for a vid tho

Strictly speaking it's a spring, not a shock absorber. It has no damping, which is what the shock absorber provides - it's usually something like a metal tube with a piston with a hole in it and filled with oil, to allow the spring to extend and compress slowly and smoothly without bouncing. There's a great demo using radio-controlled car suspension of what shock absorbers do and why it makes a difference.

You're right, I just went with shock absorber because that's the official name of the Lego part I'm replacing
