This is the best one yet.

I wonder if someone could build something like this in a game.

zisteau and akiyuki is not a combination i expected to see

"Now we consider a rotating frame of reference."

[@minerharry]

And in that rotating reference frame it’s just a series of stairs

[@astecheee1519]

Unfortunately we're going to have to use a polar reference scheme, so you won't be able to use the matrix transformations you've learned thus far.

[@dudelookatree]

and the execution

[@GalacticaGamer]

Yes it is amazig

[@gyozakeynsianism]

I love how it's calibrated so that the rates of ball pickup and return are about the same.

[@samuels1123]

@@gyozakeynsianism The pick section and return section are going off the same speed input, have the same number of 'cups' being emptied per second, and reliably collect balls at their input

[@DenniSundaY]

I already thought it was so mesmerizing to watch at the first part. Then, filming from different angles and making the entire contraption rotate, I almost lost is. Amazing!

[@timehunter9467]

The master is back! Excellent module!

[@Oeli_Maurer]

I like how you showed the individual components while slowly putting the whole contraption together. It certainly improves the video experience!

[@OllieV__nl]

You sir have outdone yourself.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Absolute genius. Watch to the end!

[@Dernadu94]

“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” Arthur C. Clarke Dude you’re simply a wizard at this point xD Amazing work as always !

[@randomrandom5]

It’s always so hypnotizing when the whole contraption rotates and it appears the rings are stationary, yet they’re changing angles! Well done!

[@Crackalacking_Z]

Absolutely amazing LEGO engineering. It's really a masterpiece!

[@ricardocordeiro9262]

From a mechanical engineer to another: this is incredible! Excellent work! And ingenious ideas! I cannot imagine how many hours it took to design the stationary core with the rotating base. It looks fantastic. Congrats!

[@TheRebricker]

Always taking it to the next level! I love the rotational view to really show how the levels interact! Very well built and demonstrated!

[@explainwithlego7699]

Wow, this is just a brilliant construction! So much creativity and technical skill in this build.

[@oogooboggins5956]

things like this would go so well in an art museum! imagine a room just full of contraptions like these and you can just watch them all day!

[@antoineddpLEGOTechnic]

When you stated to play with the rotating platform I was really impressed ! Great job 👏

[@SolarFlorad]

This video was so well edited. It was awesome seeing the progression of ideas advance and improve.

[@CatLegoDiver]

Amazing, original, mesmerizing and just plain brilliant!

[@CJHendrix]

Just amazing! It was already great, then they add another component to counter the rotation which gives it a totally different effect. I agree with others, this is one of the most interesting GBCs yet.

[@crayder1100]

The reverse spinning of the base was genius representation 🤣 Love it!

[@wishdj]

Absolute genius! No words to express how good this is.

[@Renville80]

In one word: mesmerizing.

Incredible work! I could watch this all day.

[@calar8]

1 Ring: Oh that's cool, though a bit tame for an Akiyuki device. 2 Rings: Ahhhhh, there we go, that's more like it. 5 Rings: ALL HAIL THE INFINITY ENGINE.

[@ericgelders]

The first two rings are defining the concept, which is ingenious - the other rings, however impressive, are a repetition. And YES, brilliant AND ingenious!

[@mickthebricker]

Amazing idea to stack the rings vertically.

[@joshbromley866]

Wow, every creation you make!!! Every one is my favorite. We learn so much from your ideas!!!

[@braedonrogers5534]

My mind was blown even further when the rotating base was added. Great work!

[@brotatoto]

This can keep going right? How high can you get this before you start needing reduction gears and compensators?

[@cinfaust]

I was going to ask how many layers can it go before the motor starts screaming for the sweet release of death, but I think you phrased it better

[@scorinth]

Oh, man, can you imagine one of those really high "GBC doorways" made with one of these?

[@joshbromley866]

Can we see a opposite rotating coil around the out side to self feed?

横から見た絵にすごい機能美を感じました。お見事！

[@RedSilencer]

I showed this to my friend and he was like "what's the point it just moves balls around" I nearly slapped him but then I remembered he's an English major and not an engineer, bless his little heart 😒

[@sn5301679]

Give him an example: cut his balls 🙈 Just tell him this might useful on production line. Its literally moving objects around to each processing station.

[@ericgelders]

The pivotal moment in this video is from 1:13 - 1:33: adding and adjusting the second ring to the build - brilliantly done!
