Testing LEGO Sea Defences!

Using LEGO and LEGO Technic I test various types of coastal sea defences to see how well they resist erosion!
I designed and built a LEGO wave pool generator to simulate the wave action hitting the shoreline where LEGO Batman is having a break on the beach!

Not all of them. Some do more damage than harm when you consider the whole coastline. Some just shunt the erosion down the coast while others make the erosion worse where they are.

the cool thing i find about thia video is that you can clearly see how the coastal defences work and how effective they are, but in class, you learn about WHY even the most effective defences arent always used. despite that i remember hating when i had to write 8 markers about the social, cultural and economical(?) impacts 😭

for the hollow break water, you need to alternate the beams. like for the gap in the front there needs to be no gap in the back or at least no gap directly behind, breakwaters are cheaper to make if hollow so i hope you implement this change in the future. . this way you can dissipate the energy better.

This sea wall design ive seen is very different to ones ive come across. They normally combine the last two to create a wall that has the shape of a curve, and it looks like a crashing wave. Its strong, secure, and the curve stops water going over. Although its considered by many pretty ugly

Nice video, just wild im writing my bachelor exam in civil engineering on this topic and the algorithm shows me this. We did physical model tests in a 3d wave basin to test the effect of different tipes on wave overtopping. To predict overtopping for föhr a small island in the North sea. We used a vertical wall behind a promenade, and a vertical wall with a wave return wall. The wave return wall (/bulnose) did reduce the average overtopping rate at least 70% along the shoreline.

you say the least erosion but most of that was caused by water getting past either side where it didn't fill the entire width without that gap there would have been no erosion. a more curved version of that last wall a bit like a snow plow should be installed along all coastlines prone to severe flooding and tsunami.

Depends on the environment because mangroves work best when they have the advantage of lots of shallow water. Some coastlines just don't have that option.

A better test would be to emulate concrete degradation by adding acid to melt bricks. Dissipated energy has to go somewhere, hence tidal piwer generators being ideal solutions. Static methods also fail on the horizontal component of wave motion, which this doesn't emulate. It's also nit much of a beech day staring at concrete. Fun, 5/5. Science 1/5.

My feeling is this test is not realistic because you also need some depth of sand below the wavemaker like a real ocean, where waves also adds sand to the beach.
