Can a LEGO® Machine Spin a Top FOREVER?! I'll answer that question through a series of experiments with LEGO® pieces. Watch several LEGO® machines be built to spin tops, constantly achieving higher and higher spin times until the top spins forever! I can't wait to share these LEGO® machines with you, especially as you discover the answer to the experiment: Can a LEGO® Machine Spin a Top FOREVER?!
Just wanted to say that I believe you're super special, and that Jesus loves you!

Why are you spinning the top? Spin the glass, and the top should spin forever on it without stopping. I thought you'd do this, what with the gears around the edges of the glass.

Maybe reducing the wobbliness of the top spinner structure could also reduce the energy loss? (and make the top more stable)

@dyanosis
@dyanosis 8 місяців тому
All tops are inherently unstable when they start spinning. They self-stabilize thanks to the "gyroscopic effect". However you can't get rid of all the friction that is between the top and the surface it's spinning on. The only way to truly make it spin forever is to remove ALL resistance (air, ground, etc). Aka, spin it in a vacuum on no platform.

@technikchaot
@technikchaot 8 місяців тому
​@@dyanosisand no electromagnetic effects that slow it down. Levitating something in a magnetic field will always cause induced currents. If the levitating part has no electric resistance it will still have these currents and will be a rotating magnet. So you have to make sure that nothing could pick up that magnetic field anywhere. Wait now it really looks impossible. Especially if you think of gravity this can cause all sorts of slowdown. I wouldn't recommend thinking about it for too long another mind will always come up with a thing that could disturb the rotation.

​@@BrickMachines1 The maximum speed the edge of a cylinder of a given material can rotate is equal to the square root of its specific tensile strength (tensile strength over density). A hard steel has a typical tensile strength of ~1000MPa and density of ~8,000 kg/m³. So the max edge speed is ~350m/s. Assuming a 4cm diameter => 0.126m circumference, then the max rotational speed is 2777 resolutions per second or 166,000 rpm. ... but for heavens sake, don't trust my numbers on the strength or density.

instead of machine dropping down to give more momentum, switch powerup system to compressed air. Start it in the usual way, then have initial system lift up and away only to be replaced with compressed air nozzle (can be from a can of compressed air used for cleaning keyboards if you do not have a compressor), then give it a burst every 5 minutes or so to keep it going. Would make it far more classy compared to the whole " grab hold of it and restart it" system you ended up with.

I'm glad you asked that question because I was curious about the same thing during this build! As far as I can tell though, the glass didn't have any hole starting to be bored into it. There were a couple of scratches though, and I'm curious as to when that occurred!

Came here looking for the Inception comment and not found it yet. If it spins forever....is this video a dream? Should have put the Inception theme at the end too 😂

I feel like the times would be slightly longer if you started the timer RIGHT as the top was released, or to make an additional mechanism that does that for you?
@BrickMachines1
@BrickMachines1 8 місяців тому
Yeah I considered a mechanism that would do that, but I only needed the timer for approximate times, so I decided it was okay for the time being. Great suggestion!

At around 2.000 rpm, I would strongly recommend using a bit of vaseline or mild oil to decrease friction. Lego pieces can literally wear down to dust over longer periods of time. At nearly 10.000 rpm, I saw some parts being torn apart by the sheer forces being applied on them (= me trying to build a Lego "vacuum cleaner" with 3 XL motors...)

There should probably be some coatings for the glass that could reduce the friction even further as well as for the metal to reduce air friction. Thinking of like graphene coating spray and such.

i think a rubber gasket at the end of the bit that sit on the flatter part of the top would help with grip and give you better rpm transfer on the top
