3 Track Copper Rolling Ball Sculpture Marble Run

[XWingRepair4cheap]

Looks Great. I can't tell if you have any solder joints in the vid. What type/size wire do you use?? Thanks.

[swirlingbrain]

@XWingRepair4cheap I use 8 gauge solid copper wire. You can see a how-to video of how I make them. See the description on this video for a link to the how-to make an rbs video.

[MrMister19801]

so howlong did it take you to setup this just the backround

[swirlingbrain]

@MrMister19801 A rolling ball sculpture of this size can take a week or two to build if I stick with it.

[BoomBakZ]

[sanctusveritas92]

[markomarko9254]

[rhac13]

dear santa ...

[heykoltrane]

take that, roller coaster tycoon

[juangodfrid]

would you sell one of this for me? I'm from Argentina, we can make it by ebay

[swirlingbrain]

@juangodfrid Many thanks for your interest! I rarely take commission work any more. However, I do sell sculptures like this one on the video occasionally on ebay and of course I'd be happy to sell to my friends in Argentina. Hopefully, I should have some more sculptures like this listed on ebay soon. Many thanks again!

[velciance]

@swirlingbrain I probably search ebay every week hoping to run into something from you posted. Please put something up soon! :)

[swirlingbrain]

@velciance My apologies. My oldest daughter has CF. She has been been in and out of the hospital. After Thanksgiving she got very sick and was placed in the hospital. We spent Christmas in the hospital but we made the best of it by having the family come and opening presents there. She was let out before the New year but she was placed on 3 different home ivs via two picc lines. Currently she is on tobi (aerosol antibiotic). Believe me when I say, I'd rather be making RBSs.

[swirlingbrain]

@velciance By the way, please don't take that wrong. I've very grateful that you are interested and keep watching for new sculptures. Many thanks. I'm sorry that I haven't been able to make any lately.

[velciance]

@swirlingbrain I am very sorry to hear about that - I wish you and the daughter the best! (From a huge fan!) P.s. absolutely did not take that the wrong way, life happens and I am glad your priorities are in the right place!

[flatherist]

Slick

[rhinobarrows]

BEST VIDEO EVER!!!!

[erikman5]

HOW?!



[Naruto73176]

the sickest coaster ever.

[5jerry1]

I wanted to see all three batches going at once.

[lildickheads]

you got to love gravity

[katsumorymoto]

This is interesting to me. Wonderful craftsmanship- the different psychological components to the first person perspective is certainly unique for each one, yet they are lined up on the bottom as 3 copper spiral pools.

it's certainly cute.

[MrThijsthebest]

Nice

[PeytonMont]

1st ride "Wee!"

2nd ride "Wow. That was quick."

3rd ride... I'd rather not ride that one because I would probably puke...

[TAPriceCTR]

what advantage does expensive copper have over much cheaper steel? if friction coefficient you do not seem to be pushing the kinetic energy to hte limit, it all seems down hill the entire way.

[swirlingbrain]

@TAPriceCTR I don't find stainless steel or steel to be the much cheaper way to go. With either steel, you have to have jigs and bending equipment, and welding equipment. Steel is hard to locate and buy. You have to do it outside (I do it inside). Steel is hard to bend so you're limited to lots of straight track. Copper you can have beautiful flowing curves and easier construction. Steel takes longer to build. Sure there may be advantages but I don't think material price is any real advantage.

[KevinKilla5555]

have you ever tried using a mobious strip disign?

[swirlingbrain]

@KevinKilla5555 Yes but the marbles kept coming off the track.

[KevinKilla5555]

@swirlingbrain maybe you should put supporting tracks on it. :^)

[swirlingbrain]

@KevinKilla5555 For a mobious strip, any supports would get in the way of the marbles!

[KevinKilla5555]

@swirlingbrain did you put a supporting track around it?

[swirlingbrain]

@KevinKilla5555 Naw, a magnetic containment field. It was powered by fusion for a nanosecond until one side of it vaporized! But just one side of it. ;-)

[schm147]

too much free time?

[0Squinkie0]

This is very neat ! Do you ever have nightmares where YOU are the marble and the copper never ends ?

[swirlingbrain]

@0Squinkie0 Eek!  Nope! :-)

[laikapupkino]

wheeeeeeeeeee!

[teabaggervance8]

yarbles...great big billowing yarboozles to you

[GuyAroundTheCornerHB]

ive seen a 6 meter high one at a mueseum it was ausome and had like 6 runs and had t cups drums bells all that for the track

[OwNeRGR]

awesome

[dasurflife]

Wow that is badass. Can I buy it?

[swirlingbrain]

@dasurflife This sculpture sold a while back.  I sometimes sell sculptures like this on ebay or etsy.

[samuricex]

Pretty cool, only complaint would be how short the other two are.

[obenrob]

Me: this guys youtube name is swirlingbrain hmm, "bleep annoying mode activated" you mom is a swirling brain!

[swirlingbrain]

@obenrob So you have met my mother? If you have accepted Jesus as your Savior and you're on your way to heaven then perhaps you will meet her someday. If you don't have Jesus as your Savior then you probably won't meet her.

[obenrob]

@swirlingbrain jes, dont go religious. Was just making fun. Didnt knew your mom was dead, i am so sorry.

[swirlingbrain]

@obenrob I didn't know she was dead either!

[auk40]

I love this! Great work!

[LAPGall]

really cool nice job

[Ellscore]

so what do you sleep on now



[marcolatn]

u have nothing to do?

[remixxxxerify]

so fast

[racer123246]

You always hear about robbers stealing copper tubing and whatnot, and I bet this is what they use it for xD

[jakewarfare]

i can make this in my sleep...... **looks at video again** HOW SO GOOD

[Hokie2243]

How the hell did i end up here???

[swirlingbrain]

@Hokie2243 Hell is appointed for those who have not received Jesus as their Savior. Since you're still writing messages you're not there yet. Repent before it's too late, tho!

[thesuperbouncyballs]

Let's move halloween to november 5

[ccsniper]

do want



[dporrata]

Imagine making transportation this way

[PohjolaGaming]

That's cool. But will it blend?

[tabovilla]

impressive

[positivJosh]

u should give that to a poor kid. he would FREAK in excitement

[denvreds]

thats freaking nice

[cmd2tuts]

The virginity is strong on this one.

[swirlingbrain]

@cmd2tuts Jesus was born of a virgin and He lived a sinless life and died to take away our sins. If you turn from your ways and turn to Jesus to receive the righteousness that comes from Him, you can be saved and go to Heaven someday. Wouldn't you like that?

[cmd2tuts]

@swirlingbrain Lulzsorandum.

[gokarter57275]

@swirlingbrain so your dumb and a virgin?

[swirlingbrain]

@gokarter57275 For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe.

[monocraxy1]

[abraman12]

How long did that take to make!?!?!

[swirlingbrain]

@abraman12 A long time. :-)

[Thebuddyboy262626]

Where do you get these? And for how much?

[swirlingbrain]

@Thebuddyboy262626 I make these and auction them sometimes on ebay. They generally sell from $50 to $1000. I don't remember how much this one sold for.

[PenguinSK8R77]

Epic

[tsucki]

holy

[JoseJimeniz]

i'm surprised that they roll so well. i was sure that the curves would not have been made smooth enough.

[Elzandor]

where did U get that piece of art? 8D

[swirlingbrain]

@Elzandor I make these and sometimes sell these on ebay or etsy.

[JilutheFang]

So smooth! :D

[bassmekanik101]

Haha love it

[sclongboarder15]

i like it when the marble goes down the track

[Nogingershavesouls]

love the one on the left, it spins fast :)

[miguelninja4ever]

amazing!

[TheTobymon]

future of rollercoasters



[swirlingbrain]

@TheCertifiedAsian Pain, Agony, Gnashing of Teeth, Weeping, Torment, Forever and Ever, Eternal Lake of Fire and being burned forever, wishing for just one drop of water on your tongue, being picked on and a slave of demons, the devil and evil others, poor wretched eternal death is more interesting to you than Love, Joy, Bliss, Communing with God, Purpose, Fun, Freedom, Abundant Life, Forever and ever? If so, then yes, you need a 180 turn around life. Repent, turn to Jesus. He will save you.

[TornZi]

@swirlingbrain "and evil others" so if im an evil person, ill go to hell and have slaves?...

[swirlingbrain]

@TornZi There is no "if".  The Bible says you are evil. It says there is none righteous, no not one. There is none that does good. You, me, everyone is evil. Evil people go to hell! Only those who repent and trust Jesus get His righteousness and escape hell. Otherwise, the Devil will be your father and you will be a slave of him and of sin and burn. People today are a slave of sin, drugs, sinful behavior. People in hell burn forever and a slave master in that situation is of no benefit.

[solaran90]

@swirlingbrain Don't mean to bring this back up, but if everyone is evil. Technically that's saying that Jesus, God, and all the Angels and whatnot are also evil.

I'm Agnostic so I don't really care which way, no offense, I just thought I'd point that out.

[swirlingbrain]

@solaran90 It's pretty basic that God and the Angels are Holy and righteous whereas the Devil and Demons (fallen angels) are evil. Also, it's fairly well known that all of man is in a fallen state because of Adam's sin. However, God sent His son Jesus as a sacrifice for sin and now we can have salvation by accepting His gift and taking on His righteousness. Jesus came to seek and to save that which was lost.

[swirlingbrain]

@TheCertifiedAsian The Bible disagrees: Acts 4:10-12: then know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed. He is " 'the stone you builders rejected, which has become the capstone. ' Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved." also The Ten Commandments - put no other God before Him!

[marcolammers]

I really like the swirling effect

[ElianPhantom]

Sound like a roller coaster

[hardcharging]

3rd run was the best!

[GUIC3DUP]

dude fail make the middle track and left track longer

[ugal4]

bastante padre

[RogerArrick]

I'm not sure what is up with these haters, but the sculpture is cool!

So much for tolerance and diversity :)

[kt2701]

sad get a life

[swirlingbrain]

@kt2701 Jesus is the way the truth and the life. No man goes to heaven but through Him! Receive the good news of the free gift of Jesus and you won't be sad anymore because of your sins, but you'll be happy knowing you've been saved by the grace of God and your sins will have been paid for by the blood of Jesus' sacrifice on the cross! Then you can start living instead of dieing. I have been given a new life, and I hope that you will receive Jesus and someday you'll have a new life also!

[kt2701]

@swirlingbrain what u bible bashing me for?? keep ur belives to ur self its all right if u want to base ur life on following god its up to u what happens if u follow it all ur life having it run urs and when u die its turns out not to be real and another thing if it is real when we die we are ment to wait in the ground for the secound coming of the lords son so why is it there is so many ghost and sprits walking around the word. i not saying what i belive in..........

[swirlingbrain]

@kt2701 If I die and I'm wrong then so what. If you die and you're wrong will you risk going to hell for all eternity? What would it be like to burn and burn for ever and forever? Imagine that you can't put your finger over a flame for a second but you want to burn forever and forever? Are you sure you want to risk that? That's so sad. You should get a life with Jesus and be saved! You could spend an eternity in heaven? Pray to Jesus and ask him to save you and he will be happy to do so!

[kt2701]

@swirlingbrain yeah i did say i will not tell what i belive in so why would i go to hell?? ill i said was get a life about ur marble rolling ball cos its boring and u started about god there was no reason for it......

[swirlingbrain]

@kt2701 Ah, so it's ok for you to tell me to get a life. But when I tell you to get a life, it's different somehow. I'm telling you about the real life. The only real life to be found is in Jesus. Acts 4:12 says that there's no other way to heaven but through Jesus. You can believe what you want but you really need to get a real life if your life consists of telling everyone else to get a life and yet you don't know what real life is. So there is a reason for it you see. You need Jesus!

[IshallLiCkYou]

@swirlingbrain

Bible basher.

The rest of your kind are okay, but you bible bashers suck.

T.T

Who are you to tell us what to believe in?

We don't tell you what to believe in.

Why do you get the right to?

Geesh.

Your just like my mom.

[swirlingbrain]

@IshallLiCkYou Sounds like your mom is wise then. :-) You realize that I'm telling about the Love of Jesus of how he will save you and take you to heaven. Basically I'm giving you good news. You however, are calling me a bible basher and that I suck. Sounds rather derogatory and evil to me. Are you sure you don't want to turn your life around? You realize that you came to my video page to write your filth, not the other way around. Repent and turn to Jesus! Free speech is a right!

[kt2701]

@swirlingbrain how did i say it was different u saying it ???? now ur just getting ideas in ur head why dont u take a chill pill have a few beers and go get yourself a hooker cos thats what jesus did with mary magdalene init.......

[swirlingbrain]

@kt2701 Personally, I think it's not wise to test God by saying filthy things about Him. Why would you want to write such things about Him? It's sad, you should get a life. Why won't you repent from your sinful ways and turn back to him? Jesus said the wages of sin is death. Hell is called the second death. If you've heard about hell, it's a place that you really don't want to go to! Turn from your sins and just call on Jesus and He will save you. Heaven could be yours for the asking!

[tmcgoughsr]

@kt2701 Isn't it interesting how people only get mad about Jesus - who only wants you to have eternal life and gave his life for your souls, But you can talk about any of the religions all you want like the IshallLiCkYou person and they don't get mad. That is one way to tell that Jesus is REAL. Satin doesn't get upset when religions are discussed because it doesn't affect him, but when you start talking about Jesus. Then Satin knows you are talking about a REAL SAVIOR not some dead profit.

[kt2701]

@tmcgoughsr but i have not got mad my point is i said get a life about the marble run there was no need to bring up jesus the two things could not be further apart.

anyway im sure god would want people to enjoy his gift rather then worry all the time about doing anything wrong as long as ur are not hurting anyone......

[tmcgoughsr]

@kt2701 I understand what you are saying. I believe the reason he told you about Jesus is because the Bible says that we should care about each other and when you have a chance to tell someone about salvation and to keep them from going to hell you should do that. Anytime and anywhere you can. In fact the Bible says that if you have the chance to witness to a lost person and you don't and they die and go to hell that their blood is on your hands because you had the chance to offer it to them.

[swirlingbrain]

@kt2701 I think it's rather odd that you speak of not hurting anyone and yet you diss my sculpture, you tell me to go drink beers and you talk bad about Jesus, you call me a bible basher, the other guy said I suck. It's like you don't care what you do to others and then you think that you're not hurting anyone. You don't even realize that every time you sin you are hurting those around you. Does blaspheming God hurt him? Yet God still offers his love and salvation which you reject. Why?

[DAKtaylor1]

I want one! That thing is awsome!

[lastcrazyhorn]

Effin' cool. I liked the one on the left the best.

[AlexanderDupont]

That require skills, to make such a thing!!!

Even me as mecanich making brake wires on a car, can be difficult !

[laberkiste1]

[cookieicxc]

this makes me want to ride a coaster

[mrzachattackf]

That's simply awesome

[2573166]

it's awesome.. how long it take to be made ?

[IncognitoLens]

don't you just want to plug it into an electrical socket then send marbles down it. :P

[TWINSnik]

ROLLER COASTER! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!

[Valtyas]

the third track is the best ^^

[imyourhustler]

Does it have internet connectivity?

[swirlingbrain]

@imyourhustler Yes, it receives up wi-fi and wi-max internet signals but the display and associated input and output electronics are not provided. If you connect a crystal-type radio, or sometimes if you have a loose metallic tooth filling you can receive AM and FM radio too. The signals are harmlessly redirected to ground by default. During the time I had this sculpture in my house, I had no elephant or giraffe infestations, your mileage may vary.

[AFlashInThePan]

@swirlingbrain now I know what to do with the marbles in my wife's head

[JapanBreakfast]

Very nice. Did you have it plated?

[swirlingbrain]

@JapanBreakfast Yep, it was originally gold but then I liked it so much I had it copper plated. ;-)

[SkeeboDa1]

@swirlingbrain I copper plate all my gold too LOL good one!
