Seven Kinetic Sculptures Made with Lego

Seven Kinetic Sculptures Made with Lego

These seven kinetic sculptures were made with LEGO by the Brick Experiment Channel. Six of the seven are powered by a motor and all were based on the work of other creators, as noted below.

Zylo is based on a wooden kinetic sculpture by David C. Roy. Hyperboloid Spinner is by diamabolo.”

“Contra-Rotating Beams idea is from diamabolo, but I used unmodified Lego gears, whereas the original had a hole drilled into a 40-tooth gear. Tower Curves idea is from aeh5040, but I used different waves and gearing.”

“Driving Ring idea is from Yoshihito ISOGAWA‘s ‘Cycling‘, but I used a big droid wheel.

“Hoberman Linkage is by diamabolo. Wave Machine is by diamabolo with a few modifications.”


A Hoberman linkage is an expanding/contracting scissor-like mechanism that’s found in the Hoberman Sphere by Chuck Hoberman. Watch that next.
