Lego Engines

Lego Engines
roadandtrack.com- Legos have been a classic favorite that is still going strong. I have always enjoyed watching my boy’s play and build very intricate buildings and cars. But this trend is taking Lego building to a whole new level. I’m sure you remember when the little boy knocked over the $15,000 Lego statue! Well, these automotive-themed builds are just as detailed and took hours to build.
This recent trend involves Lego builders on YouTube building complex engines and hooking them up to electric motors with the sole purpose of spinning them to destruction. Yes, you read that right. Who would not love spending hours building the best thing you have ever built, only to destroy it. -I’m raising my hand by the way. Road and Track first discovered this happening with a video shared by Digg, and you know how that goes… far down the rabbit hole. YouTuber sayaman made another video with an engine using grapeseed oil as a lubricant. The pistons gave out. A couple of other YouTubers posted videos of these creations being destroyed.
YouTuber, Brick Salad, builds various Lego motors with the goal of making realistic engine sounds, again often destroying his work in the process. One video shows a Lego V6 spinning up to a claimed 12,000 RPM, exploding at the end.
YouTuber nugru didn't exactly have a full-on explosion with this V6, but when spinning it up to 14,000 rpm, the flywheel launched clean off, and the engine started smoking.
It is for sure the coolest trend I have seen, and I can not get enough of these videos. I do not mind getting sucked into watching Lego engines being put to their limits at 4 a.m. You should check them out.

A Helpful App

                                                              apple.com  A Helpful App We all want to be safe on the road, as well as others. But some of us can't help being on our phone or becoming distracted with other things while driving. Thankfully there are a few hand-free options out there, and Apple's CarPlay is one of them. Standard infotainments don't offer what CarPlay does. With CarPlay, you are applying iPhone software expertise to your driving experience, with Siri voice commands. Sending messages, playing music, asking for directions, streaming radio, or calling people hasn't been easier. All without touching your phone. It relies on Siri voice commands so you can keep your eyes on the road and hands on the wheel. Keep in mind, CarPlay is an app, it doesn't replace your standard entertainment system. Your c...

How Much Do You Drive on a Daily Basis?

How Much Do You Drive on a Daily Basis? We live in a society where people typically drive their vehicles for a short period and do not actually pay them off before jumping into a new one. There can be many reasons for this. This means that the total amount that they owed on the previous vehicle is tacked onto the new one so. Therefore, many people are indebted to their vehicles more than they are with their actual home loans. For these types of people, leasing a vehicle sounds like a good option because you get a new one every two years. The only issue with this is that you are only allowed a certain number of miles per year. So, for those of us who travel long distances every day back and forth to work, school or traveling, leasing is not the best option. We exceed the number of allotted miles in only a few months. The Alternative to Leasing A Vehicle So, what does someone do that travels great distances every day to be able to lease or to fit within the qualifications of a l...
