For anyone looking for more of this, there are several channels that are all pushing LEGO Technic to its limits, not just Brick Technology (https://www.youtube.com/@BrickTechnology).

Some of my other favorites in this niche include:

Brick Experiment Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@BrickExperimentChannel

Dr. Engine: https://www.youtube.com/@DrEngine

Brick Machines: https://www.youtube.com/@BrickMachinesChannel

Jamie's Brick Jams: https://www.youtube.com/@JamiesBrickJams

Akiyuki makes infrequent videos, but beautiful LEGO machines.

Akiyuki is well known in the GBC part of Lego.

The Great Ball Contraption is in part a standard that defines how different GBC modules connect, and by following that standard you can have a large number of them, built by different people in isolation, be linked together.

Yoshihito Isogawa makes wonderful little contraptions https://youtube.com/@ISOGAWAYoshihito (collected in several lovely books)

Great list, thanks!

For original models, often with advanced and beautiful moving parts, JK Brickworks [1] is great, too.

Thanks for this. I was looking through my subscriptions, and this one slipped past me.
