Ep.24 // Helical Ball Lift // Rolling Ball Sculpture 3

This week I hit 1000 Subscribers! THANKS EVERYONE :)
Time to remove the old chain lift, design and build the helical ball lift.
Join me on the final stage to solder copper wire into a beautiful flowing form of kinetic art that allows beautful copper to couple up with earths finest gravity in an attempt to guide some stainless balls from top to bottom.
Why not buy me a coffee….

It is because of you that has given me the inspiration to try to make a small version for myself. Never did anything like this before and I ordered my first soldering kit. Thank you

[@CopperGravity]

That is awesome! Good luck. 🤞

[@MrCpolzin]

I am playing catch up with your videos and notice a massive amount of filming and editing done. It must get exhausting but the result is very entertaining. Wonderful work on the marble lifter too. I have made marble runs before but I've not yet mastered lifting marbles.

[@CopperGravity]

Thanks Mr C. I do spend such a long time on the videos. Sometimes more than the soldering work! Thanks for the comment.

[@larrybud]

another thought for chain tensioning would be a spring loaded bearing to take up slack on the chain as needed.

[@CopperGravity]

Thanks.

[@akongas]

Good job dude! Looking forward to the next episode!

[@CopperGravity]

Thanks!

[@davidadelmann7298]

HI, this really amazing. I love watching you and you inspired me to start my own project. Quick question: what is the actual ratio of track width to ball size that you are using?

[@CopperGravity]

Hi David. Good luck. My spacing changes like the weather. But it hovers around the 75% mark.

[@0602Jonboy]

I think your sculptures are amazing! thank you for sharing your videos in such an explanatory and easy listening manner. This is something I would really like to try my hand at, as I'm not very artistic, do you have or can you draw any plans that you may sell to help a beginner? Either way thanks for your presentations, regards, Tony.

congrats on 1k subs, this part of a sculpture is why i dont start making one myself, too much messing about for my liking! i was looking into low rpm motors and got thinking about windup clockwork motors!

[@CopperGravity]

Go for it!

[@floofy931]

Can you leave a link to the motor you were looking into?

[@1977JohnBoy]

@@floofy931 it would just of been ebay, i'd of been looking for low rpm electric ones and the clockwork ones came up, they wern't very nice looking but you could hide them

جميل جدا يا قلبي

[@CopperGravity]

Thank You :)

[@srentilsig1745]

Great job you do.. Waht is the dimensions of the kobber you use for the track and the spiral lift. And where to by it

[@CopperGravity]

I used 1.6mm and 2.0mm copper wire. I buy from an online shop in my country.

[@mauricefrancis4078]

Hi, can I get the plans for the lift

[@CopperGravity]

Sorry, this lift was a one off and not made to any plans. Have a go at a best guess. Good luck.

[@sudarriyono5780]

Bro bisakah membuat lift dengan tenaga udara kincir , sehingga tanpa energi listrik sehingga akan terus memainkan dengan bantuan angin

[@CopperGravity]

Yes I guess that’s possible. Thanks for the idea.
