Archimedes Marble Roller Coaster Movie
Loading...
Uploaded by mdscms on Mar 30, 2010
Balsa Wood Marble Roller Coaster.
Built in 1990-91 by Mark Schutte.
Balls are 1/2" ball-bearings from the pinball game Big Bat Baseball!
Incline is run by a brushless clock motor.
Incline is a dow rod with double weather stripping wrapped around it!
It is a type of Archimedes Screw - thus the name of the coaster.
Gears were carved by hand (because I didn't know you could just go out and buy gears!!)
Ground is paper mache and green "grass" sprinkled down on painted glue.

You should get paid for this kind of thing. Like, paid to make roller coasters in amusement parks. This is awesome.

For a second there I thought I saw the Boardwalk Rollercoaster.

@mdscms you cut a full piece of wood down to chopstick sized pieces? why not just use chopsticks?

Now I wish I could be a marble for a day.

I just find it weird how something like that can take so long...

@DoneAndDust - took a long ~4 month break in the middle of it b/c I had run out of patience. :-)
