Automating 7 Lego Water Pumps
Building and testing 7 different motorised Lego water pumps. Each electric water pump is placed in a basin. The basins are connected creating a water circulation. Each pump/basin has a water level sensor that adjusts the speed of the pump motor to avoid overflow. Things to consider: Pump type, flow rate, motor speed and pump speed.
App used to program the pumps: Lego Powered Up App
Lego Colour distance sensor: bit.ly/3LKE8Yb
Camera used for this video: amzn.to/3J50QZq

I like that the chain pump is so slow it needs to be supplemented by the peristaltic pump. For anyone that didn't notice, the peristaltic pump's inlet can be seen at ~7:14 in the chain pump's basin (just to the left of the chain pump's left support), and the outlet can be seen at ~7:24, just below the piston pump's outlet pipe. It's a bit more obvious in the overview at 8:06. Also, centrifugal pump and external gear pump are mvps!

I love how the float sensors work. The idea that the machines literally aren't communicating with each other but are interacting with each other. There's no sending commands to tell one to speed up when the other isn't getting enough water. The machine just compensates within its own confines, but it's able to do so with information gathered from other machines. I don't know why but I find it fascinating.

I really loved the idea of Lego Mindstorms. I know there's some kind of open-source firmware for both that makes them run some dialect of C... but it seems like extremely capable microcontroller dev boards (and for a little more, far more powerful systems-on-a-chip able even to run regular OSes like Linux, thanks to the smartphone revolution) and accessories (motor controllers, sensors, etc.) have gotten so cheap it's almost more worthwhile to 3D print an enclosure for those than to try to hack my existing Mindstorms parts to do things... hmm... I keep looking at my little Lego and junk collection cart and my 3D printer and such and wishing I had the inspiration to build something, but the past few years I've been hit by a strange inability to commit myself (or more importantly, any resources) to any project that can't be proven 'the most practical/profitable way to accomplish the objective' ahead of time. I guess I feel generally guilty or wasteful, somehow. I really wish I could get that creativity I used to have back... Maybe I should spend some time just playing with the Lego parts again...

It might be your favorite now but when you make one and use it in real life and have it working reliably the valves will make you go crazy, they always cause problems, they're expensive to replace, they're only ideal for clean water without anything like sand, leaves etc. inside of it and they need back pressure so it's ideal to run them 24/7, not really a ON/OFF design like the centrifugal pump, gear pump or the screw pump

@@penfold7800 The water wheel had 22ml/s flow rate while the centrifugal pump and gear pump both had 32ml/s flow rate, not only that the water wheel is not even a pump (at least not the way he did it) and it sucks. Not only does the water wheel need 10 or 20 times more torque to do the same work depending on the wheel diameter it will also always be 10 times bigger to reach the same flow rate and to make things even worse, for the water wheel to be a pump it would need to get the water higher than the highest point of the pump, which it can't, while the other pumps are capable of at least 1 meter height if it's just the LEGO one that he made. The real centrifugal pumps are able to pump the water from 5 to 41 meters of height while the gear pumps are the same as centrifugal ones but better because they can create a lot higher amounts of pressure, that's why they are used in some hydraulic pumps which need to actually push some weight and not just pump the water. The real water wheels often require something like a river to spin the wheel which either uses buckets if you want to just get the water out of the river or if you want it to pump the water above the river it powers a piston pump, centrifugal pump or a different pump designs not shown in this video.

@@SqueakyNeb Yes! You're generally right: putting an Archimedes screw in a pipe might increase the effective scoop size and thus transport rate if: 1)The edges of the scoop were (too) shallow (thus reducing overflow) 2) The end was immersed deep enough in the water; so that the 'scoop' can completely fill. 3) The spirals are tight enough relative to the angle of elevation. The scoop is not immersed deep enough, and the spirals are too loose such that in this case, enclosing it won't improve transport rates at all. Have a look at some of the images of Archimedes screws, see how they have tight spirals and the ends are submerged deep enough to take a full scoop? So we whilst actually agree on the principles here, the application differs a bit in this case...

Its interesting to see the variety of pumps. We are mostly only calculating and looking at speed here though. Where each pump has its uses.

@Dogeek
@Dogeek Рік тому
Each one of these pumps has pros and cons in real world applications (well not every pump per se, but you get the idea). A peristaltic pump is mandatory if you want to pump liquid without the risk of contaminating said liquid (for instance, for medical reasons) A centrifugal pump offers a good balance of head pressure, with a relatively small number of moving parts, paking it quite reliable, and cheap to produce External gear pumps can have a lot of flow rate, but the head pressure is determined by the radius of the gears, it's actually very impractical in real life. Piston pumps are pretty efficient at generating even more head pressure, most of the time you see those pumps as "membrane" pumps, which work in a similar fashion, except that instead of a piston, it's actually a membrane that is moved back and forth, either electromagnetically (think like a speaker for instance) or using pneumatics.

These are all pump systems I've seen before made with non Lego materials, and a lot of these are even components I've seen made with Lego in GBC. And yet, seeing all of these pumps made out of lego, moving actual water, is so interesting! Lego and water are not mediums that generally interact, so seeing it here really is so astounding. I also really love the novelty of the color coded sensors. That just made me giddy.

I don't know if you call it stop motion animation but the way you edited the building process in this video is super entertaining and the sound effects are great!

I work with this type of stuff on an industrial scale in my everyday work, and it's so fascinating to see it built in lego. Especially the piston pump really shows well how it works. It's something you don't often get to see on bigger machines. Great work.

Your videos are amazing, in this one is one of my favorites, there is history in this machine replications and also a lot of work. And the video edition is also very good. Take your time to make this awesome content. I will wait because deserve all my attention.

6:30 - When you think about it, this is the exact opposite of a perpetual motion machine. You have 7 devices all drawing power for their operation, they do not function alone, and then they all work in tandem with a very complex computer program to keep the water level static. It's an incredible amount of work to get nothing done lol

In the 70ties I built a gearbox with three interchangeable gears with Lego at the age of 12. I was pretty proud on that by the time. I never thought of pumps. Well done!!
