World's Smallest K'nex Ball Machine - The Quark

[harry14668]

that is awesome could you show us how to make it

[soccerman67812]

who would buy this!its not even entertaining

[austron]

@soccerman67812 What I gather from your inexplicable comment is that you know a person named "Who", and he or she is interested in purchasing this, because he or she believes it to posses a "not" which is, some how, "even entertaining"? I'm afraid you must inform your friend "Who" that this machine is not for sale.

[laphant1]

good move to make the vid fast..congrats..laphant1

[Blindemus]

It's genius!

[Disendant]

All for that, 282 pieces...

Imagine something bigger?

[OssyOstrich]

Lol!

[knexfun]

How wide is it? Most people who claim they have one smaller than this one never count the width ... And I might just try and beat this one ;)

[austron]

@knexfun most people who claim to have a smaller one never consider that there might be a difference between a ball machine and something that nudges a bouncy ball around :P

[knexfun]

@austron I know :) And they never count the motor, which makes it a lot bigger.

[TheAllBlackMan]

It goes up and down with a strange charm as it goes from the top to the bottom. Look up "quark" on wikipedia if you don't know what I mean.

[M1stersupersonic8]

AWWWWW

so cute XD

[knexfun]

Where did you get the black ball from?

[austron]

@knexfun Black and translucent green balls came with the K'nex Power Tower Crane set released in 1998 as part of the Lost Mine series. (others in this series also have black and green balls, but I am not sure which off the top of my head). They are no longer made, but you can sometimes find them on eBay.

[theFMLP]

@knexfun yeah or just take a baballtower ball take some grafity :D

[austron]

@theFMLP I think you may have just beat "anp the speen mush faster"

[krzysiek000]

Where did you get materials?

[MrBenthemanben]

dude thats awesome where can i get one?

[ChuffChuffWoo]

Neat! :))



[amishavenger52]

omg how long did that take you like a week haha

[MrDylanfisher]

i wish i can see what happens if you anp the speen mush faster



[austron]

@MrDylanfisher This comment made my day, thank you ^.^

[MrDylanfisher]

@austron cool the bigest part is the motor well the is some smaller i think but this is the smallest i ever sew

[trbrniknat1]

make a smaller one

[brynefan1]

Theese are things you just put on a dresser to just look at

[ZZgS]

ok... putting aside the ones you call "fake" that flick the ball, my frostbite ball tower is still smaller and actually has a track. Check it out.

[austron]

@ZZgS That's demonstrably not true. Your tower is 8.5 inches high, whereas mine is 6. Yours measures nearly a foot long, whereas mine is 10 inches. I don't really care about this 'record', I just did this for fun, but 6*10 is clearly less than 8.5*12. Just saying.

[fullapulla]

@austron too men arguing about how small their's are... never thought id see the day...

[austron]

@fullapulla hahahaha, touché.

[plantmant]

holy crap. nice mini knex motor, where u get?

[austron]

@plantmant This motor came with the Vertical Vengeance set, which is the only micro knex set I own.

[harrygoozee]

can you make a tutorial how to make this?

[austron]

@BreakingthegroundTV I'm too lazy to write new music for everything I make, and my youtube and deviantart followers rarely overlap, so... why not? ^.^

[MrDaNuker]

Small but a BITCH to build XD

[branflakes0909]

this is the cutest thing ever!!!!!!

[multimokia]

make instructions

[TheSketchbros]

awsome size , i made one myself

[FRURMELLL]

Where did you get that double tan clip at 0:37?

[austron]

@FRURMELLL It's a micro-k'nex piece. It comes with the Vertical Vengeance set.

[WayneJr87]

Where'd you get that motor and those grey gears...? Which set?

[austron]

@WayneJr87 All the pieces used to make this machine (apart from the balls) were taken from the Vertical Vengeance set.

[SharkRetriver]

fun to watch XD

[COOLxLET]

fooll

[RCproduction1]

the worst 48 seconds of my life...

[austron]

@AlexAfferMetallica You're*

[CrazyMDproductions]

The Pointless 2000.

[SWLegoKid]

Later can you make me a factory? XD

You are really good my friend.

[MegaCardGuy]

cool



[hart99xx]

leveloos!

[Scerab]

Mine might have a slightly bigger area, but it uses less pieces :P

[austron]

@Scerab Okay, then you can take the title of fewest pieces in a k'nex ball machine :P

[Scerab]

@austron woot! :P

[Scerab]

@austron I just made one with less pieces and a smaller area then yours, but its barely a ball machine.

[austron]

@Scerab Read the description, it describes my opinion on that style of ball machine (for which ZZgS technically has the smallest). To be honest, I do not particularly care about this 'record', but it has been amusing to watch him upload smaller and smaller 'ball flippers'. I think we are in different categories here (chain lift vs other lift style), so i think you should take your fight up with him instead. By the way, I like your planetary gear drive, I've been meaning to build one of those.

[Scerab]

@austron thanks

[TheMzeros]

I'll find a way to beat yours :P if i ever did then i'll post the video on wall if i ever beat you lol good job there mate.

[mogoshark]

cute machine but useless

[megabenni2]

cool:D

[cheezecake2000]

i just lol'd good job!

[RubiksNerd007]

i love it

[pjsk8ter]

ok umm yea so wuts the point in making this its a waist of time its not even fun to watch

[austron]

@pjsk8ter you spelled "waste" wrong....

[plantmant]

those are micro peices... they are normal....

[knexfan0011]

This mechanism is in the manual to the big ball machiene.

nice ball machiene ;)

[Piper2397]

weeeeeeeeeeee!

[jake5680]

The method of kicking the ball off the belt, so simple its genius! Why didn't I ever think of such a thing? lol

Great work! Your works are all amazing!

[TGHstudio]

very nice QUALITY

[101pokemasters]

dude, make some instructions for it pleeze!!!!!!!!! it looks simple too

show it!

[austron]

Seeing as how the video shows the construction process from start to finish, with every piece shown sorted in piles at the beginning, it should not be too hard to duplicate this machine (or something similar) from watching this video.

[ZanaranIsAGhoul]

It uses microsize, like yours, and i might have an idea for a lift that does not use chain link.

[ZanaranIsAGhoul]

Aw. Can you add how to make a ball lift without chain link for my Spiral Skim ball machine?

Anyways, make it fair, let yours be the smallest ball machine, and make it 1 foot 1 inch by 2 feet 2 inches

[TGHstudio]

XD Nice

[crazyknexkid]

awesome!!!!!!!!

[plantmant]

mine is about 7 inches long, and 7 inches high. that equals 14, yours is 6 inches high, and 10 inches long, which equals 16.

[plantmant]

correction, mine is 7 inches long and 8 inches high which is 15

[plantmant]

look at the firecracker by zzgs

[austron]

Seen it. Mine is still the smallest REAL k'nex ball machine. All smaller machines simply flip the ball with a little lever arm. I have yet to see a smaller machine that uses a real chain lift.

[plantmant]

lol, im gonna make a smaller one, that uses a chain. after i make a smaller one, ill respond to this.

[austron]

I'm not exactly sure if that is possible, lol, but good luck anyway ;)

[plantmant]

made it :) very simple. ill post it today.

[plantmant]

It isn't smallest now... many are bgigger.

[plantmant]

lol nice

[trainkid12]

took you an hour to design that shrimp?

it is so cool!

[Comenter2222]

TINY!

[Akantrex]

lol, I need this in my office... that´d be awesome :D

[knexdude7]

lol!

[mymain4u]

lol this is great

[jakesllama]

neat

i like the ball kick idea on the chain

[greggofthegremlin]

thats massive!!!! lol

[Waddaleman]

you could probably use micro pieces but make it smaller!

[Kpilot786457]

He did!

[hootergirlsrhot]

wow that is simple and small

[looney1023]

sux i cant even make one this big

[tombuckey]

why did you used micro pieces?

[austron]

if you wanna build the world's smallest car, you don't use the world's largest tires!

[MCruzerProductions]

haha nice response

[Kpilot786457]

15 feet tall.........

[austron]

what?

[Kpilot786457]

th world's largest car has 15 foot wheels... BIG FOOT. DUH!

[skidmark440]

lol that's awesome.

[ReZoz91]

Nice .but make the ball move farther back.

im making my first 1 right now and its a costum track no kit *uses real marbles*

*not plastic*

[Thunderclap23]

that is pointless, why do it??

[austron]

That's what she said.

[yayvideogames]

high five!
