Sharing my friend's LEGO Hit and Miss Engine
« on: September 30, 2026, 03:07:44 am »
Hello everyone, I haven't been on here long and I also haven't shared much, but this weekend my friend Delton Adam's posted his LEGO hit and miss engine showcase, and I just wanted to share it with all of you. It is a running engine that uses the suction of a vacuum cleaner to run, and I hope you enjoy!

I joined this forum inspired by a fellow LEGO engine builder because I have a dream of seeing the LEGO engine building hobby grow through the mentorship of engine enthusiast veterans who have "been there done that" albeit with a different medium than LEGO.
Have you ever heard of a LEGO vacuum engine?

Love the use of tracks for the flywheel! Very inventive stuff!
