Metropolis - a K'nex Ball Machine

[MarshmallowMurderers]

How many pieces did that thing have?!!!

[theremixcritique]

Your the type of guy that manages to get all 99s on runescape grr hate them patiant fuckers

[legoclockfreak710]

you crazy!!! keep up the good work!!!

[mdscms]

Mind boggling! Fabulous job! Check out my marble roller coaster. It's NOTHING compared to your creation, but thought you might like it.

[DefinitionIsGone]

If you made a gumball machine like that, but small scale with transparent moving parts.

I'm almost 19. I'd pay to see it go up and down a few times. I'm not ashamed to admit. But seriously, I'd drop a few quarters for the shitty gum for that. XD

[fuzzyjem3]

You have the mind and imagination of a genius. I envy you.

[perryschnabel]

How did I land here??? It is wunderful but actually I looked for watches ^^

[XxdragicexX3]

You must have a fuckload of extra time :P

[Nazgul8111]

I think 4 designers of LEGO disliked this... (LEGO is great though!)

[JaredBuckleyApps]

Extremely epic

[SEZIUREMAN245]

can you PLEASE make a video on how to build that. i dont care how long it takes to do that but PLEASE i need to build this.

[arminask]

@SEZIUREMAN245 what's with the begging. there's one person like you on every interesting video.

[Srlancelot39]

@SEZIUREMAN245 pretty much impossible to create instructions for that in a reasonable amount of time. why dont u try to build one thats different?

[geoffjames99]

How did you do this. It's one of my favorite things.

[krux02]

knex > lego

[arminask]

@krux02 you obviously never had both

[IamADAMBRITTON]

you should make one bigger

[curbsmile]

This is the most amazing thing I have ever seen. Bravo.

[RADRaze2KX]

damn... you are amazing!

[IamADAMBRITTON]

I want you to see my knex ball machine. It isn't big, but I think you'll like it. But your ball machine is awsome, one of the best on youtube.

[fo0g]

When i was young, i recieved the rollercoaster for christmas. Never was able to finish it. Good job!

[pilotjack1995]

[FuelTR]

if i had that much knex i would build that too.

[jason7178]

Beautiful!!! - Thank you for sharing!

[thejonusvlog]

Not much else to say but, WOW!

[simonfordcbc]

this dude has too much time on his hands but its epic!!!!

[wildgoosespeeder]

Mind is blown. Good job sir.

Only statistic missing is estimated cost. I'm very curious on how much money this costed you.

[lghtng2080]

sickest knex thing on youtube

[Coolkid321000]

I don't believe this! Outragious =0

[Ratboy8888]

This is quite cool and I like how it's shot so you can see...

[randomnestutorials]

wow! 

[mrjoserrrr1]

:o

[DisableMe123]

ok......wow.....anybody else who wants instructions???

then like

OK THAT IS THE MOST IMPRESSIVE THING I HAVE SEEN FROM KNEX

[splein23]

one more thing, one element that I have yet to see in any ball machines is a catapult or even a jump. If you know of any or make one let me know please.

[splein23]

How did you come up with the elements for this? I know the basic ball machine came out a long time ago but this is far beyond that.

[CAnick9185GR]

WOW just WOW no comment epic work

[YourUnknownKind]

awesome plan making you have there..  super nice

[Teranova]

For the love of god you better not be under 10 years old, great job

[13jhirstein2012]

I think that's fake. Theres no way that that is real. Even though it is so cool, I think its fake. That is not possible.

[randomnestutorials]

@13jhirstein2012 is to

[Coolkid321000]

@randomnestutorials I agree with jhirstein

[deepdroner]

Hypnotic...

[1277Jerry]

if u put this with a wheel and a generator u could make ur own energy

[TheQwaz66]

dude that track is awsome I would try and build this but I would fail. But other than that awsome track!

[3871olga]

AWESOME *_____*______*_____*

[38Squid]

HOLY KRAP!

[ninsupergo]

Amazing!

[failinggeneration]

So it's safe to say that this is one of the MOST impressive things I have ever seen. Bravo, you're 10 months of work proved marvelous.

[pendrin2020]

The machine itself is absolutely magnificent. A work of mechanical engineering that shows an ability to create on a level of thought rivaling the greatest minds in history.

Good work.

[jordirapper]

i will say you might hav time on your hands, cause i cant gues how long it took you to make this, though i cant say i wasnt impressed

awesome work!

[leadrudi]

I will learn English just to tell you how amazed I am, how amazing it is your job, how wonderful, witty, wonderful, hard working, excellent, amazing that I find your work ...Many hours of work and result in something just SUPER!

Do it in full HD to have it for posterity.

[montreallightning91]

like a clock work orange



[montreallightning91]

there are 4 retards that dont like this video

[lolbuster01]

You have a call from the K'nex company. Something about joining their design team...

[TheSpikeX]

The song.. it gives me a strange metroid feeling O.o

[PhumKaeos]

WOW! if those knex are glowing blue and lights off, it looks even more cooler then TRON

[RCPlanes59]

THAT WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!!!!

[PoliceDead]

ёбаное дерьмо !

[JuicyMullet1]

Well, whoever you are Kairah89, I love you.

[95wave]

amazing, makes mine look like a piece of shit

[TheNethero]

You know, my pants were clean BEFORE I saw this video.

[eRnEn3LoCo]

Just AMAZING!

[38blaka]

absolutely awesome :)

[114spencer]

Amazing.... Best 12 minutes of all time. O.O..

[TheeOmegaTim808]

imagine if this was an actualy amusement ride and people were in the balls. but had like gyros in the ball so they stay upright but the putter shell is the one moving and rolling. imagine the scale of this if that was true and it was real!!!

[Skizapper]

It sure gets a 10 out of 10 for intimidation

[madeinphillville]

OMG

[cooldudexxx458]

Any Actual Point Of This Contraption?

[mechanicBRO]

i wonder how he made it o.O?

[phillipflsmith]

thats not just "a K'nex Ball Machine" its "The Master of All K'nex Ball Machines!"

[AfsinUnlu]

This is a wonder of design.

[sebbo12344321]

YOU ARE THE KING OF K'NEX !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tafelbomber77]

that's really EPIC!

[ngardne2]

I'd like to introduce four people to the back of my hand, this is amazing

[0528gman]

How can 4 people dislike this?!?!

[22dmanu]

@0528gman Jealousy.

[ShadowDetective130]

that must have 100000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000 knex peices in it

[trueslugger]

@awesomelegomadness You should have no life!

[smoosh159]

4 people got their ball jammed!!!

[GameplayLeo]

YOU ARE A GENIUS

[bruizer67]

I COULD SIT AND WATCH THAT ALL DAY. I WANT ONE.

[thesimlish60]

Now THAT would look good in MY room... :)

[bsever423]

how many sets did you use?

[doogiedog1234]

this gave me chills..your a genius

[Multilingualtricker]

A very beginner question, but what is the cheapest way to buy k'nex? fantastic work by the way!

[Kairah89]

@Multilingualtricker Basically you have to look for second hand knex in bulk. Since that is always cheaper than buying single sets. I bought my knex at marktplaats, a dutch website for used goods. And I know that in the UK ebay is an option but there might be other places to look.

[Multilingualtricker]

@Kairah89 Thanks for this, and happy 2012!

[devils40601]

DUDE UR FCKING AWSOME!!!! 0_o xD  btw u realy have 14 pathways instead of 12 because of 9a and 9b :D u should be world record holder!!!

[selbi182]

They see me rollin'.

They lovin'.

[ComplexFold]

This is mad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mcgsmall98]

wow that's super big thumbs up

[JonkusBonkus]

langweile?



[Auferstehungsglocke]

OMG!

[jlaugh9]

This was amazing and you are smart!!

[DuffysPhotos]

Within the infinitesimal heart of every atom's nucleus, is a duplicate miniature of this incredible machine, whose purpose is to generate, sort and issue forth the quarks, neutrinos, and pi-mesons. In turn, their encapsulated forces are released, becoming the mass and energy which constitute our entire known universe.

[Aeleita1]

@DuffysPhotos ?

[Taxemicshadow]

@DuffysPhotos 0_o Wut?

[SirPenguin75]

You are really talented!

[genevievemylonas]

I love this! This is the best Knex machine I've ever seen.

[Davidovar34]

Awesome construction, as well as the lovely music from Mr. Glass ♥

[JaredsRants]

Very cool. I have one thing to say: I really worry about people like you. You build a giant K'Nex that takes over a year! While I admit that if you had done it in a week it wouldn't have been as cool, it still kinda concerns me. Obviously you didn't work on it 24/7 (If you did I would REALLY worry) but it is still kinda weird why you did it. But other than that, amazing job. Loved everything about it, and there were a lot of paths.

[Avary453]

it's cool

[weatherdragoncchs]

I think I just saw my life flash before my eyes.....

[thazeris]

What sorcery is this?

[fofolle394]

ça c'est le genre de truc qui fait halluciné

[davidevgen]

we have just witness the knex god! amazing job!!! this must have taken months of work!

[wezingful]

OMG! this is incredible! YOU SHOULD PUT IT ON TV! btw, can we have a tutorial ? ;p

[jeffree123231]

guys shut up theres no rewarad for this its just to great and i think he was fondled by jesus or something cause this guy has too much talent (and time) on his hands

[TheMandolineer]

You deserve every award known to man, and several known to dolphins.

[flyingpenguins1000]

this should be on TV

[pokemaster123ism]

This would put Rube Golberg and Chuck Norris to shame.

[sd2122w]

I lack the words to describe how incredible this is. It blew my mind to see how many unique paths you were able to fit into such a tight space; simply genius. You must have fingers of steel.

[MrMydful]

That's amazing! But one things bothers me...what if you will need or want to move this somewhere else? Reassembling that tower would be a pain.

[seansean10101]

You sir, Are a genius.

[marvleman155]

theis needs to be seen more, very amazing. you must be very proud of your work

[x30secondstorm]

When I first clicked on this, I was like "12 minutes? Really? This'll keep my attention for like, 4."

But I watched the entire thing, not getting bored once, and much more than that, being intrigued by the numerous paths and the creativity in each one.

This is absolutely incredible...I'm blown away.

[bowieinc]

Absolutely Amazing! I really appreciate your effort and sore finger tips! Truly inspirational!

[Xpresslifetifa]

Omg this is insanely sick! WoW :O

[Typet360]

Holy hell. I am at a loss for words at how amazing this is.

[Ryanier128]

to call that "Metropolis" would be an understatement.

[Frankfurtdabezzzt]

What are you, a billionaire?

[SpockFalk]

A wonderful project with many, many fine ideas - congratulations!

Stefan

[TheBSquared89]

I;m blown away. It makes mine look amateurish.

patahunt

[Dasher260]

Now, imagine the balls as glass gyroballs, with seats in the middle, wieghted so that they alwyas stay a upright while the ball rolls.

Can you say, most awesome ride ever?

[Gnmar2723]

LIKE A BOSS!

[pepantm]

úžasný ;-)

[cosmicunitedwaffles]

sry bro this will not get u laid

[Danzig9609]

@cosmicunitedwaffles  Neither will comments like that

[trueslugger]

@Danzig9609 I love how your comment was 4 weeks ago and evryone around you was a month ago! ! Epic sorcery my friend!

[TribalKing917]

Path 12 was frekin awesome! =D Like a Roller Coaster!!!

[TribalKing917]

Holy FUCK! How long did it take for you to build that?! \OoO/

[Gnmar2723]

What video editor did you use? PLEASE respond!!!!

[Silverpalm009]

4 dislikes...undeniable proof that some men just want to watch the world burn...

[SinginBoi99]

Holy shit this is just Legendary!!!!

I declare you better than COD!!!

[crimegay]

pretty pricy i guess.

[silentsniper587]

I want to be one of those balls right now.

[ludatra1]

BRAVO !!!!((very goed (I spreek frans)) !!!!!!

[AutobotOrso91296]

this took you HOW LONG!?!?!? ONLY TWO YEARS!?!?!?

[nicolas43231]

you sir should be awarded with something amazing!

[xBTCxFTWx]

is the ball machine tubing any different than the coaster tubing?

[bluebillbo]

what happens if something breaks? how do u fix it? or if something got stuck?

[NewZealander014]

something is wrong with the 4 who dont like it!

[Twincoasters]

HOLY SHIT <3

[apapi65]

[ugal4]

[Spikalus]

That twelve minutes has and will probably be the best twelve minuets that I have ever and will ever spend in my life.

[Paper27Boi]

i liked the music.

[ttunua]

so do u wanna pull your pants down or should I?

[ttunua]

I tip my hat to you sir

[TheMatt999999999]

Holy fuck. how long did that take?

[Overkillifyable]

THIS IS EPIC! Does it use batteries?

[hauntedmadness9000]

wgats next? a new home?

[babydexter1]

...wow epic...

[phrasmotica]

Happy birthday, Metropolis.  I know it's one day late, but that's not what matters.

[NuclearSkaterz777]

they should show this at a school, and call it, using your time wisley! This is beast!

[SoFtBaLlBaBiE018]

holy shit

[leoraphael1]

my mouth was gapping for over 12 min

throughout this whole video

[NorthEuropean]

Major kudos to you, buddy! I am thoroughly impressed! Well done :)

[alexchen215]

[Shredderistic6]

[Cryonix89]

One word: GREAT!!

[averydeadbird]

Mesmerizing!

[Entropian2012]

[DjSamir90]

O.O Impressive... Compliments!!! How many pieces you used to make this machine? A question for one million dollar :D ehehe

[Zachary1981]

Do you design from scratch or do you improvise as you go?

[Zachary1981]

Wow....

[james98723]

yeah they definetly need to hire u
