The Hydraulic Press Channel is back with another jaw-dropping experiment. This time, they put a massive block of 10,000 LEGO bricks to the ultimate test against their 300-ton hydraulic press. Spoiler: it’s a smashing success, literally.
The setup
The team started small, testing a medium-sized LEGO block. While satisfying to watch, it didn’t stand much of a chance. Then came the main event: a colossal LEGO structure built from over 10,000 pieces. After hours of assembly, the stage was set.
The crushing moment
As the press descended, the LEGO block resisted with surprising strength. Pieces began to crack, studs flattened, and shards flew in all directions. At one point, the pressure was equivalent to being several kilometers underwater. Despite its resilience, the LEGO titan eventually gave way, transforming into a dense, flattened "LEGO pizza."
Why it’s so satisfying
Watching LEGO bricks crumble is both thrilling and oddly therapeutic. Add the humor of the Finnish hosts, who hilariously called LEGO studs “nipples”, and you’ve got entertainment gold.
