Clearing Snow With LEGO!

Рет қаралды 214,035

Күн бұрын

Using LEGO and LEGO Technic I built a working snow blower capable of clearing freshly fallen snow! This LEGO machine is capable of clearing up to 10cm depth of snow!
There is a tracked LEGO drivetrain powered by 2 large LEGO Powered UP motors and a LEGO Powered UP hub.
The LEGO snow blower utilises an auger and impeller setup to move snow into the middle of the impeller before being blown out of the funnel! This is powered by 2 buwizz motors and a buwizz battery.
The entire snow blower unit can be lifted into the air via a winch system using 1 XL LEGO Power Functions motor.
Control was done with programming in the LEGO Powered UP app, a remote control to the LEGO Power Functions motor and programming within the buwizz app.

Wow, it’s crazy how the snow is ejected from the machine. Nice work 👏

Thanks for the support! The BuWizz motors are powerful little things! Especially when paired up!

I imagine if there were walls on the spiral impeller, rather than just a single helix shaped line, it would perform much better. Incredibly awesome build though, thoroughly impressive.

Hi, thanks for the comment! I agree with your thoughts. I only had one chance to get this build right as I don't have snow in my country and took this abroad with me when I was away on holiday. I'd loved to have time to refine it and test different impeller designs but alas!

I tried making something like this as a kid and my only goal was to make a contraption that could drive across the snow. I think it was a k'nex contraption come to think of it using standard gear motors I got from an old ferris wheel. Added long rods to each wheel so it was basically like it was 'walking' along the snow. The idea was that the extended rods gave it lots of ground clearance and lots of grip on the snow. I set it down and it walked for a bit but it got stuck almost immediately. At which point I just accepted "its just a toy, i don't know why i thought that would work" So to see this working perfectly, if very slow, is like my attempt as a kid succeeded on a larger scale and a higher budget lol. Great work!

through your video, i realised how a tank is built: 1. build a train, 2. wrap the track around the wheels

Absolutely awesome. Your best yet, and that’s saying something!

This is actually insane. Idk how this doesn't have more views. I think the ejection port could be better directed/shielded though, seems like a lot of snow is getting spewed all over the craft.

@BuilditwithBricks Ай бұрын

Thanks! I mentioned to another commenter - this build was taken on a plane on a recent holiday as I don’t live in a country with much snow! Therefore it was untested and I had to take an educated guess regarding the blower / chute etc! And I couldn’t fit anymore spare LEGO in my case! But I agree - a longer chute would have been great!! 👍🏼

@@BuilditwithBricks Damn wtf dude you are crazy. You had to take it to another country to test it? Your LEGO creation became an international endeavor.

@BuilditwithBricks Ай бұрын

@@Certifier yeah, getting all the batteries through airport security was fun! And a certain amount of rebuild on arrival where I hadn’t quite protected the machine perfectly in my case…

@geuzeg 19 күн бұрын

you could absolutely get away with a little less gearing on the drivetrain. that way you won't ave to speed up any moving footage, and it will still be torqy enough

I recommend making a tiktok if you haven’t already, it should really help get the deserved attention. Also have you made a breaking stuff machine? That could be interesting.

@camboi6103 24 күн бұрын

one thing I'd suggest if you were to do a revision is shield the components (motors, batteries , etc) so snow doesn't get on them and potentially cause damage as it melts

Very well done, looks super cool! I am jealous you have so much technic haha. However, I do feel the need to point out that it would work much better if the augers weren't hollow.

@BuilditwithBricks 27 күн бұрын

Thanks for the support! I thought about solid augers but took the decision to keep them hollow so as not to stress the motors too much, I agree in the real world solid augers work better! Thanks!

An ENTIRE DECIMETER THICK, you say?! If I were a metric user, a decimeter would be my favorite unit of measurement. Mostly because you never hear about it, yet it would be wildly useful in day-to-day life.

@BuilditwithBricks Ай бұрын

Thanks! I don’t live in a country with large amounts of snow so this build came with me on a plane ✈️ on a recent holiday! This meant I had to guess at the entire outcome without testing and I had one shot at the mechanism and build. I’d have loved a longer chute your right - but I ran out of room in the suitcase for more LEGO!

It's Lego Technic. I'm pretty sure the only thing in this design thats not Lego brand are the Buwizz buggy motors and battery to power the augur. These are commonly accepted in AFOL Technic community as acceptable because they're based on the Lego 9V system and a legacy Lego form factor.
