Marble machine 1 (more details)

[sgentlemanjack112]

your channel is great!

[TheNeilzorz]

i swear if you put even more time into these it would be considered art and i mean really valuable art.

[Alexvreidy]

You would probably be really good at Minecraft.

[guslalepra]

por fabor lo unico que kiero es el plano del mecanismo pumple por fabor !!! solo ese plano del motor tipo pumple

[gwhizkids]

Just watching this video, I subscribed. Say, what camera did you use?

[ShdwFrg]

"the zig-zag piece is quite straightforward"

I see what you did there...

[timtam20292]

Dude you are awesome, these marble machines are so cool!!

[dirtridermag44]

Hi Matt- dig the marble machine, love to see you make one using golf balls. thx

[woodentoolcompany]

I actually thought you had this running automatically. Here is a challange for ya. Lets see one that uses the weight of the marbels falling to reload itself. Great video!

[PipoOjosDeBoton]

@woodentoolcompany Imposible, that would be a Perpetual Motion Machine, it cant be done by definition... what a shame...

[thdominat0r]

awesome!! wish i could build things like this haha

[brdals]

could you make a How to Video on how to make The divide by two mechanism o the top?

it would realy help my out on my school project. If you dont, Thanks anyway:)

[Seaoftea]

Is there anything this man can't make out of wood?

[SamuraiPandatron]

Have you ever thought about having your own line of toys? Kids will love these!

[Matthiaswandel]

No. It doesn't make sense spending a week building something that people think is worth maybe $150.

[cristofolon]

@Matthiaswandel sad but true :(

[mikemurko]

@Matthiaswandel Why don't you spend a bit longer than a week ... put some more detailing on it ... paint, designs, etc. and make them into art pieces/antique type toys. You could sell them for probably something like $600-1000 with more polish. As it is - it's wonderful though! :) Get some people to help and maybe mechanize some of the designs of parts that are used repeatedly and you could increase the turnaround too.

[Matthiaswandel]

$1000 is too little to justify the effort even without decorations. That's why I don't make these for sale.

[blaaairVideos]

its fun to listen too... its music

[andyandeloda]

Thanks for the video Matthias. Love the videos... :D

[Hildenbrands]

If you have not seen this video, you might enjoy it.

Youtube Video: MNipg3AVCG4

Around 5:15 is a very interesting gating system that you'd like..

[Felixjin]

3 Million Times!

[NOLAMarathon2010]

Matthias Wandel, a polymath if there ever was one.  Carpentry, engineering, mathematics, music, computer programming, film editing. You name it. Wow.

[techwizzy]

You are my hero.

[darkhtsht365]

I love how musical this sounds when it runs

[HardcoreJeroen]

You with your marbles :P

[looney1023]

will you do a simila video involving number 2?

[Matthiaswandel]

Probably, when I get around to it.

[Tripp393]

the universe in miniature

[rmoseley100]

Thanks for the detail. I like the idea of a slip clutch. Kewl...

[JohnXelov]

You should make a fountain!

[drgrit]

Make a catapult piece! (like the counterweight one)

[H057IL3]

Canadian pride? :)

[GogoGGK]

best

[hedorah99]

That is incredible! I wish I was only a quarter as talented as you!

[EnavSounds]

Matthias thanks to share this with us...

[petitesalade]

@Matthias: have you ever thought about constructing a bigger machine, say with baseballs instead of marbles?

[Matthiaswandel]

No. I don't want my toys to take up a whole room.

[idxearo]

Now you need to do a new cyder episode!

[Tynanboyle96]

THERE IS NO MONETARY GAIN TO THIS, THEREFORE MAKING IT USELESS.

Like Seriously. Not everything needs a purpose.

[Matthiaswandel]

Actually, that machine has made over $2000 to date through YouTube ad revenue from the other video.

[Meehuuu]

But that is over a large amount of time, right?

[fremag123vif]

@Matthiaswandel yay! you earned a lot of money on this then!

(bullshittranslated = whats the price to make this? (of materials and tools))

[Matthiaswandel]

Materials were all used wood. And the tools I had anyways. Time - well, probably about a week all together.

[fremag123vif]

@Matthiaswandel but whats the price? 40-50 usd?

[Tynanboyle96]

@Matthiaswandel Nicely Done.

[plumbersteve]

@Tynanboyle96 monetization is not the only determinant of practicality...dude.

[paronfisk]

Genius!

[tagi3d]

Matthias, how high do you think the marble stack could go before the motor / pump struggled?

[Matthiaswandel]

probably twice as high

[tagi3d]

This machine was the reason I subscribed to you in the firstplace... it's on my todo list to build a marble pump like this.

[ElGatoLoco698]

You remind me of the guy who does the New Yankee Workshop

[MatthewTS22]

@ElGatoLoco698 Norm Abraham FTW.

[9up246]

Who doesn't love wooden marble machine? :D

[Felixjin]

2 million? It is soon to be 3 Million times!

[sharpie6shot]

You sir, are a genius.

[SpaceMtFreaks]

the sound reminds me of the everlaasting gobstopper mahine in willy wonka



[SAMIMYS]

[randomviewer896]

Does it ever clog?

[outled]

[iownthehate]

[steamsword1]

Ok. Cool!
