I made this marble machine system a couple of years ago and now I made some new layouts with it. However, it's all handmade and isn't perfect because of slight deviations in some track parts but it worked good enough to make a nice video with it. I wanted to make bigger layouts, but I don't have enough support blocks to expand it. I will make new parts in the near future because I first need to invest in a workshop with professional tools. #marblemachine #marblerun #marbles #marbleasmr #asmr
Purple: Lifters, transport and elevating systems
Blue: Obstacles (like slalom, ramps, halfpipes, funnels, etc
Green: Junctions, splits, switches, etc
Yellow: Sound modules with bells, nails, chimes, gongs, etc (NOTE: it's the intention to paint the base of the glockenspiel yellow as well)
Red: Tipping or releasing mechanisms which collects and releases marbles.
I also propose to add orange elements where marbles can be pushed or launched upwards, but needs to be hand loaded like the Gravitrax special parts.
IMPORTANT: These videos are quite simple compared with our main events, but I'm experimenting and trying to invent new and satisfying marble runs and contraptions. I now have limited stuff to make big marble runs, but I will purchase more stuff soon to build bigger constructions.
Ideas are welcome!
And we don't forget to produce new marble racing and marble sports events, but it will take some time to produce it.

I wasn't sure I'd like the ASMR stuff, but this one was AWESOME. I like the slight deviations. Can we have a close up of how the purple, spiral elevator works?

@gagamer7251 3 года назад

It's called an "Archemedies Screw", and it uses gravity pulling down on an object to hold it in place while the spiral twists underneath it, pushing up. It was originally used to move water up an angled version waaay back in ancient greece.

@twitchyfb 3 года назад

I really like this. It reminds me a lot of making marble tracks with those old wooden sets. Twists and turns hidden inside towers and such. Very cool. Would love to see more things pursuing this form.

@MegawackyMax 3 года назад

People keep comparing these videos to the Marble Olympics. Get a grip, everybody! This is OBVIOUSLY just the playground for the kiddie marbles to have fun! Sheesh! In all seriousness, these videos are really nice; and this one in particular was ,indeed, very relaxing to watch. Thanks!

@arataya8706 3 года назад

I find these videos mesmerizing. It’s not ASMR- I don’t get chills- but it’s still so satisfying to watch. The only downside is that sometimes the motor sounds like a hedge trimmer, and that distracts from the sound the marbles are making, but I know the motor is necessary to get the marbles to move upwards, so it’s ok. I’m impressed that you made this all yourself.

@JellesMarbleRuns 3 года назад

Thanks! It's difficult to get silent DC motors with reduction. Most DC motors makes a buzzing or whizzing noise when operating.

@@JellesMarbleRuns You could try to find something that produces an inverted sound so they cancel each other out, making them completely silent.

@tims5994 2 года назад

I loved how every one of these layouts had some form of momentum trap. If a marble didn’t have enough momentum going into the module it would get stuck until another marble bumped it. My favorite configuration was at 7:02. Such a feeling of suspense while the marbles filled that module. And such a great payoff afterwards.
