So,\u00a0Jason Allemann of <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/jkbrickworks.com\/\">JK Brickworks<\/a> made a LEGO machine that perpetually knocks down an <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=IQhgiL3TqYQ\">infinite ring of dominos<\/a>. It\u2019s a useless contraption, but I could stare at it all day, and I\u2019m sure you could too.<\/p>\n<p>Jason Allemann is a well-known LEGO builder with decades of awesome projects under his belt. He regularly publishes new creations (plus <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/jkbrickworks.com\/kits\/\">kits<\/a> and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/jkbrickworks.com\/instructions\/\">instructions<\/a>) through\u00a0JK Brickworks, including several <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/jkbrickworks.com\/sisyphus-kinetic-sculpture\/#1806\">perpetual machines<\/a>. And Allemann has designed some\u00a0official LEGO sets, like the popular\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/deeplink?id=2QzUaswX1as&amp;mid=13923&amp;u1=rg\/145479|xid:{xid}&amp;murl=https%3A%2F%2Fideas.lego.com%2Fblogs%2Fa4ae09b6-0d4c-4307-9da8-3ee9f3d368d6%2Fpost%2F3c09548a-62ff-4edc-a445-f4e3da6a42bb&amp;___trxnet=ls\">LEGO Ideas Marble Maze<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, Allemann\u2019s <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=IQhgiL3TqYQ\">Infinite LEGO Domino Ring<\/a> features a circle of 64 red dominos, which perpetually fall in sequence and stand back upright. Each domino operates on a hinge, so after it\u2019s knocked down by a neighboring domino, it\u2019s reset by a small spinning train.<\/p>\n<lite-youtube videoid=\"IQhgiL3TqYQ\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/IQhgiL3TqYQ\/hqdefault.jpg');\"><button type=\"button\" class=\"lty-playbtn\"><br \/>\n<span class=\"lyt-visually-hidden\">Play Video<\/span><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/lite-youtube>\n<p>A LEGO\u00a0Mindstorms EV3 device (which you\u2019d normally use <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/deeplink?id=2QzUaswX1as&amp;mid=13923&amp;u1=rg\/145479|xid:{xid}&amp;murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lego.com%2Fen-us%2Fproduct%2Flego-mindstorms-ev3-31313&amp;___trxnet=ls\">in a robot<\/a>) regulates the speed of the train, ensuring that it doesn\u2019t reset any dominos too early. As a result, the robot can knock down about\u00a01,500 dominoes each minute of operation. (Allemann plans to do a one-hour test of this machine to see how much it can endure.)<\/p>\n<p>Notably, this project was inspired by Grant Davis\u2019 <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/NkP6TM1Fptc\">auto-stacking LEGO domino machine<\/a>. Unlike the crazy ring we\u2019re looking at today, Davis\u2019 machine operates in a straight line and uses magnets to reset each toppled domino.<\/p>\n<p>Be sure to check out <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=IQhgiL3TqYQ\">Jason Allemann\u2019s video<\/a> to see the perpetual domino machine in action (turn on captions for some commentary on the build).
