Man Builds Marble Run - Complete start to finish TIMELAPSE with commentary

9 months of very hard and complex work in one very watchable video.
Why not buy me a coffee….
www.buymeacoffee.com/coppergr...
This RBS is made from copper wire and contains 1/2 inch steel balls. The balls weave their way down various tracks via switches, spirals and fast bumpy corners.
Full details of the build is covered in multiple individual videos that you can in this KZbin channel. There is also a playlist from 1-28 of these.
The most common question I get asked is the soldering iron I use. I use a resistance solder iron. Click this link for more details.....

26:57 Looks like one of the three balls jumped from the wavy track to the downhill. It’s amazing how seamless it was, too. You’re lucky to have caught it on camera!

[@CopperGravity]

Yes it did. Very well spotted. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@robertstout4764]

@@Wintergatan_2 Why was I not surprised to see you commenting on this video? 🙂

[@kallekula84]

I think it jumped right where that spacer was! Great catch!

[@Crushonius]

dangit i caught that too and wanted to comment it but obviously i am way to late to the show

[@acrexp]

Absolutely the most impressive build. I have worked with copper tubing my entire working life as a refrigeration tech. and have built a few little things but this was over the top. Well Done!

[@CopperGravity]

Thanks so much. 🙂🙂

[@kevinvitale8980]

Organized Chaos… such a beauty.

[@CopperGravity]

Thanks.

[@pblacklock]

Hmm, I see someone else had a “Spacewarp” or two as a kid! Awesome!

[@BenVonHandorf]

I've got no idea why the algorithm decided to show me your videos today, given that I watch things adjacent to this all the time and watch a ridiculous amount of maker art project videos. Just wanted to say, I'm about four videos into your backlog and I really enjoy your work. The sculptures, certainly, but your narration, honesty about the difficulties of the project, the cinematography, editing and music are all top notch. I'm looking forward to the rest of your back-catalog and your future work!

[@CopperGravity]

Hi Ben, thanks so much for the appreciation and comments. It’s exactly people like you that I make these videos for. Hope you enjoy the rest of my work. Ian 👋🙏👍⭐️

Good to see engineering and original thought hasn’t died in England .we used to be world leaders y’know well done sir

[@CopperGravity]

Why, Thanks! I'm trying.

[@sw01ller]

unedited video needs to be at least 5 minutes long there. i was really looking forward to seeing that and it was far too short. absolutely brilliant otherwise.

[@CopperGravity]

Thanks! ☺️

[@SSintox]

Exactly. The number one misunderstanding of youtube video maker is that they think that by adding random music music from the beginning to the end, that would enhance their videos and gather more views. But they would be surprised to learn that it's the opposite. When the content of the video is great, the background music all it does is drowning the narrative, the little undistinguishable sounds of workmanship, and finally, the little clink and clank of the balls rolling and the motor spinning. The real sound makes it real. The added music makes it annoying.

[@lukearts2954]

@@CopperGravity We're one year later, perhaps you can make a new video on how it still works, just by putting a few cameras on it, perhaps 2 different angles side by side, and let it run for 16 minutes. I would watch every second of it...

[@CopperGravity]

@lukearts2954 This sculpture was sold and therefore I have lost contact with it. Great idea though.

[@angierox6964]

I self-adjust quite a few videos with the playback speed. I can increase the speed to get through nonsense or what I find nonsensical. And slow it down when I really want to focus on something. And anytime there is background music I turn down my volume or leave the video.

[@damirkvajo]

Mesmerisingly beautiful to watch. The craftsmanship is impecable

[@CopperGravity]

[@TheSuzberry]

At one point the Discovery Channel had a similar mechanism in their lobby - about 8 feet tall. When taking my grandkids to meet their Dad, I’d arrive early just to watch this marvel. Thank you for bringing back a lovely memory.

[@CopperGravity]

You’re very welcome. That sounds great. 👍

[@newt2010]

Very cool and beautiful peace. Great job.

[@CopperGravity]

Thanks so much.

[@davidhorizon8401]

I am glad you are doing this. When I was a child, 50 years ago, there was a man who made these and displayed them at the local fair. He had many of them, I believe smaller but more compact and still just as intricate. I was always fascinated by them. I believe they are now all at a museum in his home town of Belleville Kansas, USA.

[@CopperGravity]

Thanks for sharing! Very cool.

[@Websitedr]

My kid would love it if I could build him something like that. We have the plastic marble runs but the metal balls on tracks would be cool.

[@robertfeuerstein5083]

Brillant, I love it to watch the System running.

[@h-leath6339]

What a great project! This build aptly demonstrates the two major types of fabrication: Programmed and Freehand (or "In Situ"). You've got the parts where you are working off the predetermined design plans and the parts where you're going with "We need to form a piece that connects here to there". Both of these skills are incredibly important. Good job! Also, who doesn't love marble runs?! Also also, I think that's the most French Curves I've ever seen in one place.

[@CopperGravity]

Back in the late 1970's after ridding some of the roller coasters at Hershey Park I thought about making a track out of copper or steel, soldering it together and have mini roller coaster version. I never did it, but you did it this way!

This is an amazing project. After having seen my first marble machine ("knikkerbaan" in Dutch) at the Evoluon I have been wanting to build my own. That's 50 years ago and thanks to youtube, your channel and some great instructions from Daniel de Bruin I finally started experimenting. Making a few of the elements is not as easy as it looks in your videos, connecting these together in a ways that feels right still seems impossible to me 🤭 This is true art !

[@CopperGravity]

Wow. What a nice comment. Good luck with your build.
