This is a wooden marble machine. It is 6 feet tall, and is powered only by potential energy, a little kinetic energy and gravity. there are no motors, batteries or cranks. It uses a 3/8 inch diameter steel marble, which starts at the bottom, and goes to the top, and then returns to the bottom,making this trip about 1,300 times in 24 hours.

  • I have been researching online about marble machines, since I am doing a found object marble machine for my senior project. This is the most amazing machine that I have seen thus far. It is the most thought out and the mechanisms are beautifully designed! Thank you so much! This is a great reference for me!

  • ARE YOU HUMAN????? . YOU ARE AWSM...‼...‼

  • Still in search of the elusive Perpetual Motion Machine, you have created this most amusing and entertaining device for your (and our) enjoyment! Very well done as it borders on genius!!

    Bravo!!

  • swearing and calling this awesome wouldnt cut it ... so i have to make up a few words ... this is the SHIZING GIFURE of a marble run!

  • OK that was freaking awesome.

  • Absolutely a work of art.

    Challenge: Now make the pre-assembling part (6:45 - ) automatic :D

  • How do we know you didnt reverse the video ;), good job.

  • wow... just wow...

  • how does the ball go from The Summit back to Rock Bottom, and how do the all the parts reset for another ball run? I feel silly asking but i m blown away by this contraption!

  • I am a Mechanical Designer and I was trained by XeniaGuy2. He taught me alot about designing alot of different things. I can say his work is amazing!

    He has been making this machine ever since I have known him in 1989.

    Great work, keep it coming!
