MM3 video 2 - final.avi

[alexlis3]

Good afternoon. Is it possible to get drawings of this wonderful machine? Unfortunately, the video is not all clear ...

These things are real inventions! Its amazing! But it takes a lot of time to build!

[Yodawg318]

What education do you need to build wonderful machines like this?

[bjorn452]

(See below)

it would release a new ball. The total weight of the 24 balls would maybe make enough weight to pull the large weight up again? Maybe not all the way, but at least some of the way, extending the runtime maybe?

[bjorn452]

I am blown away!! :-)

I work as an engineer, and at the office we had a jaw dropper on the first video of machine no 3. I have to show this one now :-)

Does the ant gravity hill consist of one magnet starting far from the ball at the bottom and closing in all the way upwards? So that you are having a magnetic force making the ball go up? And stronger the farther up the ball goes?

What if you made some sort of collector below the 24 path changer? So that oce a ball moved into the changer

[Workmule4ever2day]

@ Xenia : I wonder if you were a into cutting jem stones in a previous life? Its a lot like what you do.

[inmyworld47]

how does the anti-gravity hill work?

[Goman091]

I'm sleepy now

[ReBeLfw]

this is awsome! can you make a video showing the re-arming process? i didnt get it. great work!

[TheKatr2]

1 question how you manage the stress of process of trials and errors?

[Jaggedsky17]

Incredible. Stuff like this helps inspire myself to become an engineer.

[looney1023]

how does the antigravity hill work???

[lukeinchina]

@looney1023 I want to say magnets, but I'm not sure either.

[antoxz]

This is amazing. Very impressive.

[pier2k9]

This is just so amazing I can't describe it.

[MrKaddan]

Kinetic art! Beautiful! 

[imFiERCEUnLeAsHeD]

MAN! you just made me want to build one of these myself! you are an AMAZING man! thanks for the awesome detail and the views too!

[ydneah13]

I designed my own marble machine last year starting from scratch. It took me two weeks but was nowhere near as complex as this. I admire your dedication and hard work.

[Psopyxsus]

Yeah, anti-gravity hill? It looks like magnets or a very effective optical illusion

? Very cool Xenia, that's some serious dedication.

[xeniaguy2]

Very good question. When the 21 lb. weight drops and raises the counterweight to the top, the counterweight exits, and the large wheel whose rim did the lifting of the counterweight, automatically dis-engages from the main shaft that is rotated by the 21 lb. weight. The empty elevator car in shaft 3 when empty, is heavy enough, to drop down the shaft rotating the large wheel backwards 1/3 of a revolution. Upon reaching it's stop, it again re-engages itself to the 21 lb. weight main shaft.

[phoenixshade3]

This machine will be incredible when completed. But I'm wondering — once the counterweight exits the top of shaft three, how do you plan to return the elevator to the bottom of the shaft?

[sageyash]

anti-gravity hill ??? how does it work

[Toby14231]

Super Physics Therory !~

[azninabox]

Scale up the machine to life size when it is done. The scale should be about to where the marbles are the size of soccer balls. Get investors. Have full sized machine built. Become immortal.

[Fry790]

Awesome video. The coolest and most ambitious physics-based project I have seen on youtube, and that includes the robotic videos.

[palspalao]

some real complicated stuff for an graphic arts student to achieve, need engineering classes I suppose. and lots of cofee

[comenter27]

you should have the 24 path changer reset all of the parts that dont reset themsleves

[kk72390]

@comenter27 I agree fully! this will drastically increase the time between resets! if my calculations are correct it will take as much as 300 hours to empty itself!

[mastobas]

muy inerante una introducion a la imaginacion

[quasipedia]

Absolutely inspiring. Since I StumbledUpon your first video, I have decided I will pick carpentry as an hobby as soon as I will have the opportunity! :) Thanks for sharing!

[shockwave9000]

This is some very impressive stuff. Out of curiosity, what is your profession?

[WarmalThunker]

How would you get parts like the marble ramp to reset itself?

[Stevercakes]

Ingenious

[xXfrownyguyXx]

i did not mean to hit thumbs down sorrrry

[elFlexor]

Engineering at its best!

[SadisticPenguinOfAND]

Really neat. It's really cool that in addition to planning something like this you actually made it happen. Bravo.
