The World's Strongest LEGO Motor... Ever
Channel: LEGO Technics Rule
Date: 2022-01-15

I recently came across a blower motor from a furnace. Blower motors are responsible for blowing hot/cooled air throughout your house. Ever wondered what was blowing air out of that vent on the floor? It's your furnace's blower powered by a motor like to this one.

It doesn't matter what kind of motor it is or what it's used for. What matters is that its a big, strong 1/2 HP(horsepower) motor. I found a way to make it LEGO-compatible by drilling out the center of a LEGO gear. A little stand for the motor was built along with a second gear connected to the first. The end result is this monstrosity. I wonder what working LEGO machines I could make with this.

With that being said, the electricity that powers the motor and the motor itself is dangerous! WARNING: I strongly advise you to not recreate anything you see in this video.  The power from your wall is of a high voltage and thus dangerous! Powerful motors are also dangerous as they can snag hair, jewelry, and clothing. I have lots of experience with wiring, motors, and power electronics, so I believe I am more or less qualified to safely work with stuff like this.
