I have to say that this one is outstanding not only for the video in itself but also for the idea you have to make interchangeable machines . NIcely done .
Best machine I have seen in my life! Beautiful and sounds amazing and satisfying. I wish I had this in my room and turn it on and just watch for 100 hours straight. Amazing. Thanks for theninspiration
A real honest work of art... But the noise! It must drive your housemates or your neighbours completely bonkers! Try to run this machine at two in the morining... ^.^
This is the best marble machine on RU-vid! It is perfect for fun and making good hearted people happy. and not useless like these losers commented below. These losers are mostly like Bevis and Butthead, no good bums who have had bitter childhoods. Continue making these machines which makes good people happy :- )
The mechanism that sequentially directs the balls in to each of the four machines is intriguing. Even at full screen I cannot see how it is working. Is there a chance you could show a close-up of that part of the machine or do you want to protect your idea? Whatever....a really cool piece of work. Congratulations.
Phil: It is a little toggle mechanism on that short run that alternatively directs the ball bearings one way then the next. After the first one is a second one of these toggles for a total of four combinations. This video shows a close up of one in action. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ml77rV8wN-s.html
It does. When at the bottom the holes slope down going away from where the marbles are waiting in line and slope back the other way at the top as they are upside down compared to what they were at the bottom.
i dont think it been done before, or if possible but you should make one that is a clock and every hour one set of balls hits over a bell. ding ding 12 o clock and so on!
