  • I'm curious about one thing. Throughout the videos with the small marble machines, are the 'marbles' actually pachinko balls?

    This has been in the back of my mind for a while now.

  • 9/32 inch stainless steel ball

  • Awesome! Very creative! At first it had me confused as to how it consistently held the balls in the wheel from the loading area to the retention bar. I figured it must be the way the holes are carved. Slightly cradling on the lower half of the circle so they stay in when loaded, and slightly sloped on the upper half so they roll out after passing the bar. The angles on the inside of the holes are probably tapered to make a smooth transition.

    Am I right or did you use a different method?

  • You do come up with some great ideas!

    I figure the holes are drilled slanting away from centre, causing the bearings to drop in and fall out once past the guide?

    Looking forward to the follow up videos :-)

  • You make the best gizmos ever!
