IMPOSSIBLE LEGO BUILDS and MECHANISMS

In this video we're looking at impossible LEGO builds, for example unusual mechanisms and ways of moving, satisfying things, secret and crazy things and much more. So, let's go! First up we have this mechanism and it lets a minifigure quickly switch partners. Once he gets there, he can head straight to the next station. Wow, the minifigure in the middle is pretty popular today. Okay, let's turn on the next one and see what it can do. It's just like a moving mandala and it looks really satisfying. And it works with just these spinning pieces. Here's something shaped like a balloon. And that's because it is a balloon. With these strings we can now also test whether it works like a real balloon. You are probably thinking impossible but it flies. Let's see if it flies if we cut the string. Okay, I guess there wasn't enough helium in it. Let's move on to an impossible vehicle. For this, we need what are so-called omnidirectional wheels. And we need four of them. And with those, we have a vehicle that can move in an unusual way. Yeah, it can actually drive completely sideways. But yeah, that's not all, because it can also drive diagonally like this and spin around like this. Yeah, cars like this should exist in real life. Please tag Elon in the comments so he can build something like this next. This creature moves only with vibration. Okay, the motor swings. Okay, you're probably wondering how this works with LEGO. The legs only move when you press down on them. And that's also what this rubber band is for. The main thing it needs to work is this switch. You can use it to turn a motor on and off. And that's exactly what's happening the whole time. The rubber band lifts the switch turning the motor on and the motor turns itself back off. And that just repeats over and over really quickly. This is a dragon wing. But now we're testing whether we can use it as a propeller. So, treat one goal. Okay, it actually works really well. It can also go in the other direction. Let's move on to the next one. For this one, all it takes is the spinning rod to make the whole thing move. Nice. What happens if we turn on this strange creature? Okay, it seems to be making some kind of punching motion. And here you can see the mechanism behind it and how that punching motion is created. And yeah, you'd better not mess with him. Here's a pile of plates. And here are even more. But what are we supposed to do with all these plates? We can actually connect them using an illegal building technique, which in this case means not pressing them all the way together. And with that, we can create some interesting shapes and builds, like this springy tower or perfectly round shapes. Okay, but what if we make one single creation out of all these plates? And this is how it turned out. Yeah, I just kept connecting the plates until they turn into this long twisting structure. Definitely one of the weirdest and most interesting builds I've made so far. And in case you're wondering, there are a few supports, and I had to cheat with some tapes in a few places. But let's move on to another confusing build. Okay, now we have this three-dimensional tangle. It makes absolutely no sense, but it looks kind of interesting. Maybe it's art all the way out through Ikea to the exit. Of course, you can use LEGO bricks as dominoes, but this is way better. Okay, let's try it with more. And now set up lengthwise. First 10, then 25, then 50. For the next one we need a computer and this little robot. Here are a bunch of Technic bricks and we need them to make this large panel. Now we're putting a rod into every single hole in these Technic bricks. Alright it's done and if we flip it over you can see that I use all these yellow pieces on the other side to keep the rods from falling out. And I can make an imprint of my hand and do a face reveal. Here are two apartments. But if you compare the front door on the left with the one on the right, you can see that the number 12 is missing. So where is it? Yeah, it was never missing. It just appears between the two. And this happens thanks to a highly advanced mechanism. Pickable, pickable. Okay, let's move on. This creature has no wheels or normal legs, just bushes. And you're probably wondering how it's supposed to move with those, but it also has two arms that can move. And since the arms can spin really fast, they create a vibration that makes the whole thing move. When we turn this on, the whole ring with all these gear teeth spins. That means a bike with gears for wheels can ride around inside it, like a hamster in a hamster wheel. Here's a circle to start with, and we attach these pieces all the way around it. To keep them firmly in place, I've also added this. Here's a second disc and now we just need to connect the two. Okay, I hope it works. If we spin the two discs now, we should see an optical illusion. Okay, the effect isn't quite as strong as the original. Yeah, it doesn't really work. Okay, let's move on. These two minifigures always stay parallel to the ground. And for that to work, the key is a gear that stays completely still. This is a vehicle with a wind-up motor and we're using eggshells as wheels. Unlike normal wheels, these catch between the studs. So let's test how the whole thing drives with them and how steep a slope it can climb. And it's really satisfying to watch it push itself up to studs. Okay, but this still isn't nearly steep enough. Let's see. Okay, this still isn't a problem, but it's closer to the limit. But yeah, definitely a really clever use of parts. Next, let's look at something that only works with this one brick. If you do this four times, you can build this colorful spiral. Here's a structure that at first glance you can hardly believe is made out of LEGO. Okay, the build is actually really simple. There's a cube with studs on all sides and the pieces are attached to it. This cylinder rolls down normally, but if we use a ball, it rolls up. Before the last one, let's look at three best impossible builds from past videos. First up, we have this ball, which uses an illegal building technique that lets you bend these rods really easily. And here's a perfect LEGO spiral that looks completely impossible and is made from just this one type of brick. The third is an optical illusion using LEGO pieces and depending on how you look at it, everything looks really distorted and curved. Okay, let's move on to the last one. This incredibly clever build and it's made up of five triangular shapes like this all interlocking with each other. It's also huge and can roll like a ball. But can you use it as a soccer ball too?
