miss out on your chance to win and now let's continue with the video so let's get it started with a creation that is not only visually appealing but also technically sound the lego bugatti chiron but not the model 16 lego engineers worked tirelessly for weeks on the development of the vehicle which is comprised of almost 1 million individual pieces however the car is not 100 lego as the lego vehicle cabin had to be placed on a steel frame the vehicle also has metal rims but apart from that it's it's all lego even the steering wheel the seats and the spoiler are made of lego bricks and that's not even the craziest part the car actually drives the engineers built an engine consisting of over 4 000 lego transmission pieces and 2 300 lego engine modules then on a test track a professional race car driver sat in the car and tested the lego design the lego bugatti drove surprisingly fast despite its astonishing weight of one and a half tons the car reached a speed of 12 miles per hour let's move on to the next lego project the lego submarine a danish toy manufacturer has brought out a few models but they all had one thing in common they weren't actually functional submarines a finished youtuber developed his own lego submarine that actually works he utilized a plastic can to encase individual lego components at one end of the can he drilled a hole which connected the lego engine with an external turbine allowing the boat to sink in a controlled fashion then he used a syringe to open and close another lego motor so water can be pushed in and out a few circuits were then taken from a remote controlled mini submarine to enable precise control of the lego turbines a first test showed that both the rising and sinking with the help of the syringe and the control with the turbines worked perfectly even in a real lake the submarine could be steered with precision using the remote control the lego masterpiece managed to reach the depths of the lake and come all the way back up in no time our next lego construction is also technically sound but it's also a very fun one youtuber super lego sam developed a lego arcade game first you've gotta put in a quarter then a small countdown appears on the display the game is called space flight and it revolves around a lego spaceship that you have to keep inside of two black lines by pressing two buttons as time goes by the game gets faster and thus more difficult the entire machine consists of lego pieces exclusively but it's still sophisticated enough to immediately recognize when you've crossed the black lines the background stops and you have to start all over again the mini display even shows the exact score you've achieved as well as the high score of the machine how does this really work like how on earth is this possible a closer look inside the device reveals that the path of the lego spaceship flies down actually consists of many individual plates these plates are attached to individual lego rods that are attached to a conveyor belt the conveyor belt is moved by lego motors and it automatically stops when the player fails the machine detects the crossing of the black line by way of a camera sensor in the lego spaceship which can detect color differences on the lego plates youtuber super lego sam not only had to build the machine out of legos but he also had to do a good bit of programming work but the result is a super cool lego machine and a pretty fun little game this next one doesn't seem all that special at first glance but this little black box has it all this would be why it is known as the ultimate lego machine youtuber jk brickworks presented his invention in a short video that begins with him simply trying to flip the red switch above the lego box shortly after the switch is flipped a flap in the box opens and an extended rod pushes the red switch back but the machine doesn't always just do the same thing it literally messes with anyone who tries to flip the switch when jk brickworks tries to flip the switch again the machine cleverly dodges him finally the switch even disappears completely into the housing and the youtuber is completely at a loss he keeps trying but the machine manages to creatively prevent him every time from flipping the switch the machine was developed by the lego tinkerer on purpose and it uses wheels and lego technic components as well as nxt motors that were programmed to frustrate anyone who tries to operate the switch manually though it may seem pointless you've got to admit it's a pretty impressive device especially when you take into consideration that it's made out of legos next up is the lego m95 a toy version of the real combat rifle this prototype was built by russian youtuber infected bear 95 the special thing about the lego m95 is that you can actually fire legos upon closer examination you can see that a lego part is clamped in a kind of rubber bullet and it's shot forward when the trigger's pulled the lego gun also has other functions such as a fully functional magazine and a telescopic site in the video the lego weapon is able to fire with accuracy hitting targets at a pretty decent range let's move on to a lego masterpiece with the capability of flight the lego drone another project of the brick experiment channel was developed and programmed by the finnish youtuber the drone itself does not actually consist of too many individual lego pieces just four lego wings a few rods and four individual lego motors which enable the drive in addition there are four longo lego stands that connect the wings to each other the use of only a few thin lego technology parts keep the weight of the drone in check besides the lego pieces however some additional technology is utilized in order to be able to control the drone in the air a flight control module and a circuit board are attached the drone actually took off and flew at the very first test attempt it can be controlled midair with a remote control so it actually works like a real drone the lego drone can also reach some really impressive heights and thanks to the ever sturdy lego parts it's quite robust our last lego invention on this list is really something else a fully functional bow consisting of hundreds of individual lego pieces the bow has several wheels around which a rubber band is stretched this allows the lego bow to actually fire arrows you just clamp them between the rubber bands and then pull back then a lego aiming mechanism flips up allowing shooters to guide the arrow with more precision the arrows can reach extremely high speeds and cans or bottles for example can be shot through from a pretty impressive distance so that's gonna do it for our video on some of the craziest and most intricate lego masterpieces that can be found on the internet maybe legos aren't just for kids don't forget to let us know in the comments what your favorite lego memory is personally i built
