(...) Hmm... what would it take? Assume that ABS plastic's volume relates directly to its weight-- and then all you need to do is calculate volume using Ldraw parts. So weigh something like a 2x10, a 2x4, a 1x1, and a few odds and ends... then check (...) (23 years ago, 11-Apr-01, to lugnet.market.shipping, lugnet.general)

(...) If you had the weights of all the elements, it would be useful to someplace like Brickbay, where it could be used to automatically calculate shipping charges based on weight.

(...) I have all these parts except (maybe) the side plume. I'll weigh them next time I know no one is going to be in the lab. I'm also interested in seeing the relationship between brick size and mass (i.e. is it a linear relationship?). -chris ps. (...) (23 years ago, 11-Apr-01, to lugnet.market.shipping, lugnet.general)

Yeah, there are a couple other pretty small parts that might contest (Although my guess is still the coin): - small knight's plume - small knight's side plume (dragon wing r/l) - minifig hand - minifig 'hook' hand - white rubber band - (...)

Very cool. I've often thought that the small plume that attaches to a knight's helmet might be the lightest element. Any chance you could weigh one of those? - Cary "Christopher Tracey" <ctracey@enviroweb.org> wrote in message (...) (23 years ago, 11-Apr-01, to lugnet.market.shipping, lugnet.general)

Hey all. The lightest lego part (of the candidates mentioned) is: a gold coin = 0.05602 g This measure was performed on a Mettler AE240 analytical balance. I didn't correct for fingerprints or dust so these measures might be a little off, but most (...) (23 years ago, 11-Apr-01, to lugnet.market.shipping, lugnet.general)

(...) heh, if you're going to go that route, wouldn't the new primo turtle be pretty heavy? and i think he's got a primo stud on him somewhere - making him a brick instead of just a container, but i'm not sure. (23 years ago, 10-Apr-01, to lugnet.market.shipping, lugnet.general)
