The Lego figure moving while the elevator was moving was an impressive touch

If this man had been around in the stone age we’d be exploring the galaxy by now

Can i just say that I really love the sound design of the stop-motion bits. It's so satisfying to hear the minifig's little footsteps

I wonder if anyone has acknowledged the fantastic photography of these videos. The contrast of the background, the saturated colors, rhe superb lighting... Not only is BEC creative with LEGO, they are demonstrating excellent skills in cinematography.

5:45 is the little step above that shows so much passion goes into making the video. We know that there's a story of putting it together, testing it and encountering the problem and realising that something you hadn't ever thought of makes perfect sense.

I feel like Elevator #8 (chain drive w/ magnets) requires strict weight/occupancy limits. "What did you guys have for lunch? All you can eat buffet? You fellas outta take the stairs!"

3:08 OMG the little climb onto the platform 😂

Babe wake up, brick experiment channel just dropped

God, I used to work at a sugar factory with a man lift. Using that is anxiety inducing. Got a 12"×18" board to stand on and a handhold just barely big enough to grab hold of going up 300 feet with nothing around you.

That last one looks good for lifting people out of poisonous swamps. Perhaps it could even be powered by a small dog.

Ngl, I don't think all of these are gonna get OSHA certified.

as a lift enthusiast, it was fun to see how a lot of these ideas are ones actually used for real elevators. #2 is like climbing elevators commonly used in building construction, #6 is like hydraulic elevators and #7 is like traction elevators which is the most common type :D also #10 is like a paternoster

If you ever make a part 2, please build a Paternoster Lift. It's a loop of lift cars on a continous loop, where there are two shafts (One up and one down) next to each other and cars switch between the two. It's like the belt lift at the end, but you don't have to stand on the ceiling. Also I know it's a bit ambitious for LEGO, but it would be cool to see a Linear Induction Motor lift, which are currently being tested in various parts of the world.

Now i want to see which lifts the heaviest

that belt lift animation was SMOOTH

The extra effort of climbing onto the Parallelogram lift platform was just incredible attention to detail!

In each stop motion bit I can’t help but notice the elevators begin to go down and then the mini figure turns around at the same time. You didn’t have to do it that way but it looks even nicer that you did!

The stop motion on the belt manlift must have been very difficult. This is one of my favorite videos ever so far.

I could actually watch these for years

What I like the most about this video is that the noises it makes is just the minimum noises that wouldve been made when building these things. No rubbing, tapping, bumping, etc just to make more noise

i don't know HOW you manage to layer the stop motion with recording the actual elevator functioning but it blows me away every time

I live just below the Union Canal, about 10miles/ 16 km east of the real Falkirk Wheel, and I am thrilled to see it honoured here. If you're ever around Central Scotland come and see it, it's great engineering - simple, elegant, clever, efficient, robust, useful and beautiful too.

I love how you do the stop-motion while the machines are running, it looks really good. Especially on the last one.

Should have added the "giant human hand" elevator

i love these videos because these are actual mechanical concepts, simplified into lego

This is very uplifting video

This video really LIFTs my spirit

Not seeing the guy yeeted over the top on #10 was a let down, more carnage please.

That last belt lift reminds me of Paternoster lift, which is basically two synchronized belt lifts attached to basic elevator cabin so it doesn't flip upside down at the turning points.

He taught us two things: Engineering Patience

This is so relaxing, thank you.

9:36 YO WTF?! THAT IS SO FUCKING IMPRESSIVE!!! THE STOP MOTION AS THE LIFT IS MOVING?? PRETTY MUCH SEAMLESSLY??? WOW

I love the winch one as it looks the smoothest without any hiccups or shaking,

the blue minifig was adorable :)

When he busted out that parallelogram and I saw the video time remaining, I knew this engineer wasn't here to play. Great stuff simply explained 🔥🔥🔥

That little guy‘s animation is top notch. Also: i haven‘t seen that ladder thingie on the scissor lift for probably 30years now.

That Micro Motor is amazing. Definitely going to get a couple of those

As an elevator technician this was extra fun to watch! Big up!

Winch, Counterweight and Scissor lift are def my favourites

7:15 as someone who hates elevators, this is my worst possible nightmare of an ekevator design. It's literally nothing but an invisible force and hope holding you up.

This is fucking genius. I really like how these different methods are so creative!

He looks very happy to have made it to the top :)

We’re getting an OSHA audit with this one!!!

9. Rotating lifts actually get used in modern times! They can be used to lift ships to higher elevated waterways where if would be impractical or impossible to have rows and rows of sleuce gates for whatever reason. Both Sides are filled with water and because a ship displaces it's tonnage in water the sides are roughly equal in weight, which helps the engines move so much weight! Thought I'd share this interesting detail, because seeing a ship elevator for the first time blew my mind:)

My favorite is clearly the parallelogram : so unexpected !

Very cute and loving simple. Merci!

After 30+ years of playing platform games... all these lifts make me anxious! 😂

I love the little thumps the mini figure makes when he walks.❤

He returns when we are about to forget him!

I have workshops with kids and you are HUGE inspiration for me!

5:55 this just reminds me of the sound of weights falling in theater while they're adjusting the counterweights for the flies.

I would love to see detailed changes to the magnetic chain lift to understand better ways that could work. Since you'd need to account for the maximum weight it could carry, instead of just being able to go up and down. Love em all though.

I think our LEGO engineer is entitled to a hard hat with some of these.

that smile as he gets to the top :)

Wow, I loved this, my favorite was the #9 the rotating lift, so creative

the editing at 9:35 was nearly SEAMLESS! I had to watch it back a couple times to figure out what you did, and figure out that you had the belt move in stop motion for just that moment. I think. I can barely see the belt jump a little bit in its movement. absolutely incredible.

Cool. Now make escalators.

7:12 [Brick dude] "what is this witchcraft?"

I love the little guy, I love him so much

its cute how he just climbs the parallelogram lift and stands there while it lifts him up

I love this channel. The builds here are so creative! Great job man!

Feels good being 24 seconds early 💪💪💪

The lego stop motion shots take me back to old youtube as a kid

Dude that rotating lift was sick!

Best Lego channel

Videos like these really lift my spirits.

1. Scissor lift 2. Rotating lift. 3. Belt man lift 4. Screw lift 5. Parallelagram lift 6. Counterweight lift 7. Rack and pinion lift 8. Winch lift 9. Magnet lift 10. Pneumonic lift

this gon be good

0:28 What motor is that? Is that a real Lego motor? I've never seen such motor

4:51 and 5:54 are the closest to how real life elevators work. Shorter elevators (about 2 to 5 floors, tallest one known is about 8.) tend to use a hydraulic pump. These are very slow and steady in how they move, but tend to accelerate and decelerate extremely quickly: they almost jolt to life sometimes. Another way to tell if you’re on a hydraulic elevator is the low pitched hum they tend to make when going up. They are pretty silent going down. The other common type of elevator is commonly known as a traction elevator. These are driven by cables in a similar manner to your chain driven design, and have a very similar counterweight mechanism to the one shown. These are usually faster (they can be up to 10x the speed of a hydraulic!) but are much slower to accelerate. This means acceleration force is felt for a longer period of time, and if you’ve ever been on a particularly fast one, you’ll know the feeling of your stomach dropping. They’re usually pretty quiet, but you can sometimes hear the motor spinning up during acceleration on certain designs. They are most common on installations 5 or more floors tall, but 2 story tractions exist.

The elevators are cool, but the animation and sound effects really makes it for me.

7:00. Cool one

What is the safest? (Hold the most weight)

BEC elevators they’ll never let you down!

08:30 I'm from Germany, and in Germany they still have some of these elevators (paternoster lifts), but they're being banned for safety reasons. (Of course they don't work exactly like the one in the video, otherwise the rooms would get turned upside-down.)

Анимация человечка бесподобна

2:05 real Elevator

This is SO relaxing to watch, and the animated figure is the icing on the cake. At first I thought number 8 (magnets) was clever but impractical... and then I started wondering about elevators in quarantine areas...

Amazing! The rotating Falkirk wheel lift was my favourite.

3:53 Attention to detail.

My intrusive thoughts were kicking 9:30

BELT MANLIFT sounds like one of the names given to the protagonist in Space Mutiny.

The stop motion animations are so flawless and so realistic

8:30 oh no, not blightown again.

4:50 illegal!

Always love great stop-motion. The ending showcasing them all was cool!

I always loved your videos, but I have to say that you’ve improved astronomically with the presentation. These look like videos that Lego themselves could have made. Great work, hope that your channel grows above and beyond.

Needs safety railings.

Last time I came this early I started paying child support 😮

For the parallelogram lift, him climbing was amazing. Good work as always

I love how most of these are so random and overcomplicated AND THEN WE GET DESIGNS THAT WE ACTUALLY USE IN REAL LIFE LIKE WHAT

These videos are produced so well. Love them.

I like that you added the stop motion. Great touch!

i remember watching your videos like a year or two ago and the increase in quality is astounding!

I just love the little animations for Lego Man

The little animations you add are so charming.

Please make a submarine with an arm that can grab things underwater! Great video ❤️

9:30 I watched this bit several times before I was finally able to figure out how it was done. Very nice

Chain drive elevator with magnets from the outside:ITS THE ELEVATOR OF THE FUTURE!!!

2:45 Ohh that is an amazing lift.
