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…

That is fabulous - I want one.

That is impressive.

Where were you guys 5 years ago when that was posted all over the internet?

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

I would love to see the CAD or whatever they used to design the Machine.

Apparently, there’s a newer, improved, more complicated version of this thing.

I checked out his channel, he’s got some videos on making these things. I haven’t watch them yet but I might…

Next rainy day...

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.

What a creative guy. Thanks for sharing javadog.

Yeah, I saw that many years ago. It is still amazing!!!

So that’s what happens when you spend a year and a half stuck inside!

He's not one to rest on his previous achievements:
