Blue Marble 2 : air and water

Here is episode 2 of the blue marble ! Same concept as the 1st, a big one marble path on my table in one take.
Let me introduce you to the tricks used in this project.
The trick at 0:23 caused the majority of the fails. It had to be exactly in the right position and it was moving because of the vibrations of the trick above.
The air canon with the balloon was a big challenge to make. The rubber band squeezes the balloon around the straw to release the air in a specific direction. Then the hardest part was to find how to stop the air and deliver it when I want. It was too difficult to put something like tape at the end of the straw because it was either too clingy or not enough.
The solution was to twist the balloon around the straw and block it in this position with a rope. In this position the air stays in the balloon until it untwists. I explain it because I think what exactly happened it's not easy to get when you see the video.
After this I built a timing catapult trick. I know I'm crazy because timing tricks are so unreliable, it was mostly based on luck but worked 80% of the time. It was so sensitive, just a little more dust or some hair on my table could make it fail so I had to clean it for almost every take.
Yep I used a fidget spinner again, I'm proud of this one, nice and almost never failed.
The big catapult was supposed to be a trick with fire (the plan was to build something with elements: fire, air and water). The marble was supposed to go up because of the explosion of a firecracker :p
But it was too risky, I know it can work (it worked 2 times) but with MASSIVE luck. It's impossible to predict how they'll explode. And it caused lots of others problems. The marble was burned and it wasn't rolling really well after that.
The shockwave can trigger other tricks and finally the debris from the explosions was falling all over the place and could block the marble at a later stage. It also burned the table and hurt my ears. So I gave up, but maybe you'll find this trick in a screenlink later ;)
About the water trick. Release the water was really easy, but it took me weeks to figure out what to do with it. You can't push something with it, not enough force ...
So I taped a folded paper and when the water touched it, it got wet and unfold because of the weight :D But the marble also touches the water and gets wet. After that you can see that it moves slowly.
So the final trick had to be VERY sensitive. Why do I always put the most sensitive trick at the end?
So this is it ! I hope you'll like it as much as the first blue marble !

I get so excited when I see Kaplamino in my subscription box. Wow. There were so many creative tricks packed into this video. I found the rubber bands especially satisfying, and I also loved the metal bar bounce. The blue magnet stick... Who am I kidding, this whole video is incredible. Time to watch a couple more times to see things I missed!

[@chewies1147]

DoodleChaos its u

[@jacksonsay37]

He could well have been inspired by your yellow marble video. Still waiting for that video in easy mode. Also still waiting for Danny O. to come back.

[@Hokiebird428]

DoodleChaos Can you add music to it?

[@louisjagger2177]

As I said on another video, this arms race will end up with one of you putting the first marble on Mars. Your move!

[@Berqist]

May the magic of the Internet bring you together for a collaboration!

[@Hevesh5]

Absolutely loved this! Reminds me of a pinball machine but it’s playing itself! The balloon deflating was genius. I don’t know how you come up with all these clever tricks, but you are amazing at it!

[@DoubleDomino]

The rubber band, balloon, and water tricks were genius

[@5MadMovieMakers]

I'm blue da ba dee

[@mwwve]

Da ba deeeee da ba

[@Stonehawk]

What a fantastic journey. It's like the blue marble is the protagonist and all the other marbles are the ones the hero helped and each one helped back along the way

[@Wintergatan]

This is sooo inspiring, totally awesome, thanks for making!!

[@polyacov_yury]

Suddenly, Wintergatan. What number did this video have in your PBS? ;) (Obviously joking, everyone needs a time out (which is still marked in your PBS in one way or another, knowing your project manager :D). Would be interesting to know the number you have for that ;) )

[@blue_kobolt1785]

Hi Martin :D

[@nin10dorox]

The little hop at 0:36 is definitely the best part

[@sebastianzaczek]

True

[@jasondashney]

Sorcery it is! I was so confused by it. And by "was", I mean I can't sleep now.

[@alexembuscado1782]

Every each marble, big or small has a role to each one of them… helping to achieve one goal! Brilliant!

[@MMuraseofSandvich]

Found this while anonymously doomscrolling Reddit. Half expected the ending to have ピタゴラスイッチ on it. Really love that you made the blue marble a character rather than a lot of Rube Goldberg machines where the first projectile is left embedded in the wall, so to speak.

[@TheRGMGuy01]

Another brilliant video from you, man. Amazing! I love the elegant simplicity of your tricks -- relatively easy to understand but still very very clever! Particular example -- the launch at 0:17 is a simple concept but still delightful in action! I suppose the downside to this kind of trick is that they're relatively easy to trigger and I can't imagine how many early triggers you had to deal with... I'm just getting frustrated thinking about it tbh The double use trampoline was very neat, too! Far and away though some of the most satisfying tricks were in that series at 0:22 where the heavy magnetic marble helped the blue one out. The trick at 0:27 is absolutely brilliant!! Such a neat motion and soooo satisfying the way it's timed! Using the balloon was yet another stroke of genius! As for the timed catapult... well we've learned to expect that from you ;) Nifty use of water, too! I agree that thinking of how to use the water was probably the tough part, and your idea for it was as good as any :)

[@DakSenTheFox]

He returns. The blue marble will never die. Blue Thumbs Up my man.

[@PrimeCarrot]

Woah! The water actually pushed the marble! I'd love to see more like this

[@Kaplamino]

I think I'm going to make a video with just water tricks or/and air if I can find enough of them. It has potential

[@PrimeCarrot]

I look forward to that :D

[@Tom-u8q]

The water actually wetted a small tab of paper, releasing the marble.

[@PrimeCarrot]

Oh I see

[@jamesmoore1945]

Hey kaplamino can you put that blue marble in that cup? Kaplamino:...sure

[@Kaplamino]

it's the easiest way I've found

[@Kaplamino]

Oh no, I think I accidentally used a fidget spinner again...

[@NeowiseWasTaken]

Kaplamino whyyyy

[@chewies1147]

Noooooooooooo!

[@derpyllama1885]

Gosh, thats so old, omg whyy

[@fmamachines2851]

I don't mind, I think it was your best use yet

[@jacksonsay37]

Fidget spinners were, as pretty much everyone knows, originally made for autistic people. And Einstein, Newton, and Tesla are believed to have been autistic, so...

[@DEWILL]

I like how you use the same part of the structure once more with a little bit of modification. It really does spice up the run. Nicely done, once again! 1:15 I think It's your first time to use water-powered part, isn't it? Gotta be messy to clean things out after some failed runs

[@eddieweedon7457]

I saw the wind and the water but where was the fire??? 🔥🔥🔥

[@Kaplamino]

Yep it was the first time I used water and air. I tried to use fire but it was too hard read description haha

[@YehudaHubertPetrana]

@@Kaplamino ..

[@Tmrfe0962]

Holy cow…just discovered you and this amazing feat of engineering…thank you for the time and effort it has taken solely for our enjoyment. I teach at my local trade school, (Hydro elevators) and the cause and effect principles in here will be great fodder for my class. Thank you….

[@Taikamuna]

Absolutely amazing job!

[@eddieweedon7457]

My favourite bit ... 0:35 so clean. That little hop is so cute

[@ChrisGraham00]

How did that hop happen?

[@marylousakosky4010]

I can only pray, with this kind of knowledge to ' mastering of the marble'' is used to project his unending projects and notify Microsoft, apply for schooling in architect etc. You are definitely before your time. Bravo ツ

[@EvanGaoTV]

These just keep getting better and better

[@rockstopsthetraffic]

What a demonstration. Incredible work.

[@WiedOupnHart]

Why are these Soo relaxing to watch 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@closedaccountabandoned]

The decoration for this Rube Goldberg Machine is great!

[@AveryMilieu]

You are Brilliant! Innovative, creative, original... And there is a mother in me saying, "So THIS is what you were doing instead of your English homework?" Which is unfair, because you are unique, with skills and talents that most of us don't have. But it still comes up when I watch your entertaining puzzles. This one felt like a pinball machine. And the fidget spinner was a two part move, so I think that counts as an original use... I love what you do and the comment about your English Homework was not a criticism to be taken seriously or personally.

[@polyacov_yury]

"Look at that mess on your table! Again!!"

[@OfficialSillypooDominoes17]

Very interesting object uses, I especially thought the balloon and rubber bands were great touches to this. Incredible !

[@mrogilvie]

Here to comment and like because a page on Facebook posted this video without credit. AMAZING marble run!!

[@Sirmenonottwo]

Those are next level marble tricks.

[@TheKingOfDominoes]

I loved this video! I'm super happy that the blue ball got its own intro! Plus, I felt like the tricks were a little bit better in this video! You really planned it out well! Keep up the absolutely amazing work Kaplamino!

[@JoshuaZamrycki]

Delightful and brilliant. There were so many parts that many me cheer out loud. Bravo!!!

[@akmyrattuyliyev2334]

I like how this had supporting roles and background actors.

[@ace-pergerssyndrome1643]

This was even more fun than the first one! I really love your marble machines, they're so inventive!

[@Magicmum22]

YOU are a flipping Genius! 💡 A very very committed and patient Genius! Wonderful, could have watched that for hours!

[@sebastianzaczek]

0:35 - 0:39 was legendary! Well, actually everything was...

[@stormendless552]

0:09: Trampoline 0:28: Open & bounce system

[@bigredc222]

I had to go back and watch some things a couple times because I couldn't figure out how they worked, very cool.

[@Dia1Up]

You sir, are a wizard

[@jackofallspades98]

It's super interesting to hear your behind-the-scenes thoughts and explanations for the tricks, since I never really get to see what you're up to until another Kaplamino video appears in my subscription feed! Another fantastic job on this one, I especially loved the sequence from 0:23 to 0:34. Very creative double use of the rubber band as well. As for the water, I'm curious if you had the same issues I had with Kern Center Machine where it made a huge mess and unglued everything. Anyway, I love your style of building, I have zero idea how you come up with the ideas you make. I'd love to see more 2D machines like this in the future, I think it's definitely where you excel. Perhaps you could even see what you're capable of when you're not limited to the one ball path constraint...?

[@Kaplamino]

I think 0:23-0:34 caused 80% of the fails. Don't work with magnets it's too hard, that's why I used them in a screenlink first. I used blu tack to fix the kaplas and dominoes (and hot glue rarely but it's not good for my table ) so the water can't uglue them I think. There's not much water compare to you. For me one marble path is not a limit, it help me to be more creative because constraint is good for creativity. But I'm not going to make one marble path everytime, I don't want to use the same trick twice and I don't have many ideas to get the ball up.

[@christhebirb]

These get more creative with every single video! The tricks were absolutely awesome!

[@SpriceMachines]

Absolutely legendary

I never clicked on a new video so fast.

[@sol00013]

So many amazing tricks in this one, like that balloon? Genius! Looking forward to seeing more of this awesome content :)

[@sirgabealot01]

NIIIIICE! This is a really difficult format to work with and you execute it perfectly every time!

[@ratiemand4529]

This is really cool and wow you have so many subs now! I already watched when you had something like 500 subs!

[@boristheslav2860]

So cool! Keep it goin'! Thats one of the most bizzare creativity Ive seen... I myself did something similar with magnets... But you seem so... You just take your time to add all the details (the rubbers were genius btw) and the way you present it? Just a A+++ and best in this category, thats just awesome work.

[@penguinexpress12]

That was beautiful, it felt like art.

[@thatoneninjagirl1545]

You still amaze me every time a new video comes out😱😵😍

Love it! Your magnetic trick at 0:23 was my favorite! Definitely worth all the fails it took to get the final take. NICE! :)

[@ABHacksProjects]

yes!

[@arisfren8196]

This water trick is just brilliant

[@flea160]

0:34 was definitely my favorite bit, that was so clever

[@rinrinabis]

Wow. Kaplamino, ur videos are way more than enough. And they are way better than gaming channels(JUST A QUICK DISCLAIMER I LIKE DOMINO AND MACHINE CHANNELS MORE THAN GAMING).They are also way far from perfect. You have improved over the years.

[@itz.daryl.himself]

GraviTrax (Or Ravenburger):*proud noises* I raised that boy

[@DaigoParry]

I am reminded of like how a fighter jet ejection seat works. One charge will set off a series of other charges in sequence.

[@ClaytonLivsey]

It's such a joy to see your mastery of just about everything! I lost my shit at the balloon!

[@shoppingcart69420]

1:20 Marble: what a nice bridge! 1:22 Magnet: Let me try this bridge!

[@Henry14arsenal2007]

I think the double ball lever jump at 0:36-:037 is the best trick ive ever seen.

[@teriwardrobe8290]

The part with the water was amazing

[@MajDuty]

You're awesome. Discovered your channel thanks to Hevesh5. I can't believe you just come up with this stuff. Totally impressive. I'd like to copy it and it makes my few thousand Domino chains with my kids feel like child's play in comparison

[@wolf_blob9446]

So good ideas ! I love your videos so much very nice Kaplamino !

[@kirbycalitis345]

This marble had a greater adventure in 2mins than my whole life.

[@karlthered]

This is amazing! I like how you put a lot of time into this.

[@adamrocks7456]

As much as people hate fidget spinner...I love them.

[@ianwhite6634]

Dude! How long did this take you!? This is pretty cool👍🏻

[@palfly1864]

4 quoestions: 1: how do you come up with the ideas? 2: on a scale from 1 to balloon, how satisfying is it to get that perfect take? 3: how long did it take you to construct this? 4: what is the angle of the board?

[@Kaplamino]

1) I try to build random things until it looks cool. 2) balloon², the most satisfying moment ever on my life 3) 2 months or 3, but not everyday, the hardest part is to come up with all the ideas 4) 6°

[@titanashley]

This is awesome! Great use of magnetic spheres 😻
