The marble machine
I don’t know what sort of madness inhabits the mind of someone that can think up this thing and then actually goes and builds it.
But, I bet it’s the only one in the world. And he seems well practiced at playing it… https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IvUU8joBb1Q |

Those look like ball bearings instead of marbles. I think marbles would crack from the repeated impacts.

There is some fascinating crap on YouTube, if you have enough rainy days. My “watch later” list is probably several hundred entries at this point.
