The lego space elevator
About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery
A machine that stacks modules and locks them into place, theoretically all the way up to space. Assuming that Lego is magical and violate the laws of physics. Fun facts: - Top speed: 0,533cm/s - It would take 33,5days to build/reach the world record of highest lego tower (34,76m). - It would take 7432 years to build/reach space (100 km above sea level) Material: 3x EV3 units. 4x large EV3 servo motors 4x large NXT servo motors 4x medium EV3 servo motors 8x Touch sensors 1x color sensor Number of bricks: unknown

amazing work I love seeing people put their mind to the test, keep up the good work

This reminds me of Konrad Zuse Helixturm although it works differently.

This is kinda how i see a Space Elevator being built irl... only problem is it wouldn't be verry stable without lots of cables
-
this video should have been called "the lego space elevator builder"
-
If you had a infinite modules and infinite energy, how high could you build?
-
this system would be fantastic if we used it to start building towards space!
-
Amazing build.
-
cool!
a robot that builds free standing lift shafts!
my friend wet herself laughing when she saw this:-) -
What a great concept
-
Your creations are the most innovative, sophisticated and complex lego machines i've ever seen in my life!
-
Please release instructions! Please!
-
hey...do you here that?...its the sound of minds blowing around the world...
-
that would be an efficient way to build skyscrapers,maybe you can propose it at...idk..science fair?
-
Är det inte så lyftkranar byggs ihop? Väldigt coolt i alla fall!
-
neat work ya got here
-
How long can this go up?
-
This is amazing. I am a little curious though, what would happen if you stop feeding it, does it stop trying to go up?
Also, reading your fun facts, it would take that many days and years to do those after you solve 2 problems.
1. Keeping the elevator powered. (could probably charge with solor panels, hope lego releases its own lego solar panels one day :P.
2. Prevent the tower from toppling over from wind and other forces.
I see you are aware of the laws of physics stopping this getting to space, but I love the idea anyway, good job. -
i'll pay you for instructions
-
very clever! why don't you build a version of it in construction vehicle colors, that constructs lift shafts for Lego Buildings?
