These Legos Are Not Just for Kids

If you think Legos are only for kids, you should look at this video from RJMBricks.

In the video titled “40 Satisfying Mechanical Principles in Legos,” the reviewer discusses how the blocks can be used to construct and demonstrate how key mechanical parts work. He starts by showing various gears, then moves onto belts, couplings, and CV joints, among others. The reviewer then proceeds to build more complex devices such as a helicopter, which incorporates many of the individual mechanisms such as belts and gears.

The fast-talking reviewer uses the various Lego assembles to show individual parts in motion and how they interplay with other parts.

All in all, assembling and configuring the Lego blocks in various combinations gives the user a more tactile feel of how mechanical parts operate, rather than just reading a textbook or viewing a video.
