[@marsdeimos4301]

For those wondering how it works: The zigzag path narrows down after the 2nd 90° bend by the difference between diameters of quarter and nickel, after the 3rd 90° bend by a difference between nickel and penny, and after the 4th 90° bend by difference between penny and dime. S after every one of these bends, a coin too big for the zigzag track is derailed by a sort of a sloped ramp ground into the upper edge, making it continue straight on instead of going round the corner, where only smaller and smaller coins can travel through. Quarters (25¢, 24.26 mm) are separated first, then nickels (5¢, 21.21mm), then pennies (1¢, 19 mm) and the smallest by size - dimes (10¢, 17.9 mm) go all the way through the main zigzag path. It's very simple and clever.

[@smashyrashy]

Well its more simple than the way you explained it anyway

[@beaconblaster33]

so there are ramps after each bends that smaller coins can't go on it because the ramp is from the top and small coins are lower?

[@smashyrashy]

@@beaconblaster33 small coins can obviously go througj big holes but big coins cant go through small holes

[@beaconblaster33]

@@smashyrashy then why aren't they just stuck there? wouldn't my ramp hypothesis be better explaining this?

[@EpicBunty]

@@beaconblaster33 yea exactly, not as simple as smashy rashy thinks it, and even tougher in execution i would say because of the precision required but really creative and simple

[@ManualdoMotorStirling]

This coin sorting machine is so simple, I don't understand how it works!!! But I believe that the separation of coins occurs when it is larger, there is a rebound in the base which makes the coin take a new path. Very well thought out, I imagine the time spent to project something like this until it works, congratulations!

[@trazee8823]

Hello verified human

[@TheLaw-mh4pb]

It works because the larger coins have a bigger diameter and take a different path. He put "ramps" for the larger coins that force then into a different path

[@theoi3921]

@@TheLaw-mh4pb Yeah but we don't see where the coins take the different way: where are the différence in the wood and metal? Why there is juste one metal way?

[@mbww8572]

Pizza Time, cut yourself some slack! For someone who could execute this design, it was NOT clearly explained-at all!

i understood it immediately, after seeing him cut different sizes of ramps on that metal plate

[@pizzatime7732]

@@fidztshuma1986 great for you! 😁

[@nauy]

I’m amazed and delighted. The sorting mechanism is very simple and ingenious. The self-stacking feature is even simpler!

[@zephyrwestern3056]

Love this! Watch closely starting 4:20. The edge (think of street curbs) higher provides the force needed to turn the coin and for larger coins, the ramp before the turn frees them from the edge so the momentum carries them further. Elegant! I suppose some testing was carried out but not filmed to get the trajectory right which is affected by factors such as the drop, the slope, the friction…

[@JohnVDenley]

Really annoying they didn't explain the mechanism better...

[@shortstoryslam9434]

Absolute genius. You did an outstanding job designing this. Thank you for sharing.

[@wirehunter86]

Wow. Its been a few years since I saw a video from The Q, everything was made with cardboards then. This is a huge upgrade!! 👍

[@kirkm5]

It's a brilliant concept, but for anyone wanting to build one as a project, be aware that it probably needs some modification. If you go frame by frame from 6:13 (use the < > keys on your keyboard), a nickel and penny come down. The penny goes normally but the nickel bounces off the wood separator into the penny slot. A blocking piece might solve that. Or maybe a long wood piece up the left side instead of the curved bump-out.

[@Dr.JustIsWrong]

Dime into penny slot

[@QImpact]

Love that you did this with traditional power tools, I was expecting a CNC project.

[@midlifehemi88]

This is how I approach most things: Why spend 5 minutes doing something, when you can spend 2 hours building an automatic method of doing that something? Pretty sure I get this philosophy from playing so many factory type games like Factorio

[@inkuing838]

I wish there were more details about how the mechanism works. That’s the most interesting part.

[@creatortabish7036]

One word for this man is "INCREDIBLE"...❤️❤️❤️

[@fakehub8445]

Actually u just type a sentence

[@gruffalocrumble494]

Very cool. I also didn’t quite get how this worked with the larger coins but after reading the comments I see it now. It would have been nice to have a slower, close up view of how each coin was separated. Wonder if this would with an Australian 50c (dodecagonal (?)) coin 🤔

[@sixstringedthing]

Well coin sorters definitely exist for Australian currency too, so it must be possible. :) The dodecagonal design has a high enough number of sides that it should be able to change directions around the corners as it falls if the chute is wide enough, and by eyeball a 50c piece is around 4mm larger in diameter than a 20c, so it should work fine with appropriately adjusted dimensions for the chutes. You'd just need to work out some means of sorting $2 and 5c coins based on their differing thickness (for any non-Aussies reading this, our $2 and 5c coins are of very similar diameter but $2 coins are about twice as thick).

[@Brian3989]

The dodecagonal coins are a cleverly designed shape, constant diameter dimension.

[@RaymondHng]

The largest coin that this will accommodate is the U.S. quarter which is 24.257 mm. in diameter. It will not support the Australian half dollar which is 31.65 mm. across flats. Both the U.S. half dollar and the Australian half dollar will jam the sorter.

[@myfloridahomeservices1883]

it was made by nadex, they are on ebay

[@mike1024.]

Aside from that sponsor ad, great video and great build! I'm surprised the coins never get stuck at any of those bends instead of fly into their slot, but perhaps the metal is thin enough compared to the coins and there is enough turbulence.

[@normansidey5258]

Entertaining as well as practical, nice demonstration of good all round skills, carpentry, engineering and creativity. Proper utube as it used to be. Thank you.

[@guillaumedep1]

It's pretty cool, but not really practical. More of a toy, really. It's really limited in how much it can handle at once. I can easily outpace what this can accomplish by hand (did so for a couple years working as a parking lot attendant to get through college). Given the time and effort to build plus the space it would take up, you don't gain anything more than entertainment from it. Not that is a bad thing.

[@FtanmoOfEtheirys]

This reminds me of old cars that had coin slots in the glovebox or center console

[@timothyjones9430]

I actually didnt get how the separation occurs until i watched the end in slow motion about 10 times. Very cool.

[@davidpoirier8725]

Amazing sorting solution. Perhaps in the next iteration, the sorted columns at the end can be oriented vertically so the coins will lay flat and stack properly?

[@donna7881]

That was ever so cool! Thank You for sharing

[@mbww8572]

Nice! Would be improved by explaining how you came up with the design, tested it, and show the coins deflecting in slo-mo. I’d be amazed if this worked first time down the chute 😉 But always 1000x easier to critique than to do the work!

That's just how it works -_-. The track is too narrow for the big coin so it continues in the direction it was already moving in by jumping out.

[@EpicBunty]

@@suhasdara3040 its not jumping out he has made paths for all the coins by using ramps and utilizing the bends. they aren't jumping out lol

[@suhasdara3040]

@@EpicBunty Which is exactly what I'm pointing out. They jump out at the bends when it gets narrower than the coin's width.

[@EpicBunty]

@@suhasdara3040 they dont jump out they take their allotted paths and ramps. When u take an exit ramp from the highway are you jumping out of it? There is no jump.

[@shotguntornado]

@@EpicBunty Y'all are both missing the point. At the timecode specified, one coin tumbled out of the track at the *wrong* location, bounced off the far left scale, and flew back onto the track. Watch in slow mo. It's kinda wild.

[@sfperalta]

I had to slow down the video to really see how it works, but the concept is simple. Progressively smaller paths and corners that only the right size coin can pass through, other coins are shunted. Deviously simple. The one that amazes me is the final stage for penny and dime. It almost looks like the dime would fall into the penny slot, but it doesn't -- I guess it's momentum carries it past. Insanely clever!!
