If you put an arch over top of the spring and the magnet slots for the damper lever, you can switch from manual playing to set and forget function in a much easier and quicker motion. It will eliminate the chance of lifting the lever up too high and missing the slot you are changing to or the lever getting bound up. The arch would act as a guide so all you have to do is push the lever up and over without having to pay attention to how you are moving it. Just a thought to increase the playability of the machine. Awesome job with the machine by the way. I love seeing engineering like this and the thought process and details that go into making a machine of this type is amazing.

When the piston goes up Then it comes to a stop That's a sine wave

[@abelnemeth4346]

Oh thank you. I was going to say it.

[@Suppenfischeintopf]

Don't think so. It would be if the piston was infinitely long, or if it was sliding perfectly forward and backward without side motion.

[@louisdurand4567]

If we say r is the radius from the center of the shaft (at coordinates (0,0)) to the bar attachment, L the length of the bar and a is the angle of the shaft, I think the expression for the height of the sliding extremity of the bar would be something like: h(a) = r*[sin(a) + sqrt((L/r)^2 - cos(a)^2)] I'll try to plot it with different value to see how it looks ^^ But what we can observe is that if L is very long compared to r, we would approach this expression which is a pure sine with an offset : h(a) ~ r*sin(a) + L

[@Anon54387]

@@Suppenfischeintopf Right. If there was a sliding mechanism that kept the rod driving the piston centered underneath it then it'd be a sine wave.

[@Kataclysm113]

@@Anon54387 if i understood the last 3 comments somewhat correctly, to get a perfect sine wave you'd need to replace the rod with some sort of upside-down T shaped mechanism so that the difference in height between the piston and the attachment to the crank shaft remains constant, and said attachment point slides back and forth along the horizontal part of the T. did i understand all of that, more or less?

Since you took so much effort to be mr smart. It is a sine wave, except due to how long the peak is, it is much wider, that is the point he is getting across (with a coarse sharpie mind you).

[@tothestars3958]

Ah, good point! I was thinking it would be a sine wave as well, but I also noticed the play within the ratchet system on the conveyor... didn’t put the two observations together.

[@nate_storm]

well yeah obviously. but he was trying to emphasize how much it slowed down when at the top or bottom, and he did a good job of that

[@AnonArc]

Technicaly it's not a perfect sine wave because the piston are not straight up the wheel (check this : www.intmath.com/cg3/curve-shape-movement-piston-applet.php )

A few weeks ago I searched for a live tour with the Marble Machine and was disappointed when I didn't find one. But today, seeing this video and hearing you plan to go live, that makes me happy! I can't wait to see it live!

Aeon if he was going for money, he'd jam pack his videos with ads. It's just insanely hard to make something this complicated work smoothly every single time.

How many hamsters is the MMX going to require? Will the need to swapped out mid-performance? Some important questions I know.

[@billkeithchannel]

@@PatrickGunderson OHHHHH.... AHHHHHH... Reddit that. Make it happen.

[@MrMats0n]

@@PatrickGunderson I was hoping for something like a quad-stable thing with springs somehow. Bi-stable wouldn't give all the options but this magnet thing looks quite functional and is waaaaay simpler than anything I imagined.

[@PatrickGunderson]

MrMats0n yes, I agree, it would need 5o have multiple stable positions, but this current solution sticks out horribly from the meticulous engineering that has gone into every other part of the MMX. If I were to design it, I would be a single channel with 4 ball detents and a connector bar that is two thicknesses. One thickness that exactly fits the channel width and will engage the detents, and another that is slightly narrower and can float freely. The connector bar is attached to a handle and can be pulled or pushed to engage the different thicknesses.there only needs to be a cm or two of movement in or out.

[@ToastyRoland]

Engineering, music, art. You've married them amazingly, and to a truly unbelievable scale. This is going to live in a museum as a priceless work of art some day. Cheers sir.

[@Kataclysm113]

wow. i remember watching your videos every week for months when you first started building this thing. it looked really cool then, but now, it's just actually amazing. marble machine x is as much of a visual show as it is an auditory one now, and frankly i'm in awe.

That devide x four fix with the elevated marble track Is one of the coolest things you've done for the mmx. The extra visual is so good that I had to comment for the first time . Even though I've watched every step of your creative birth of mmx. I'm sure you've considered actually dipping the funels with the plasticdip? It's like making candles, old school. Dip and repeat. Much love to you and your machine!

[@SoranoGuardias]

I'm noticing on the new conveyor queue that few marbles are making it to the right-side of the conveyor shuttles.

[@christophermarsh1580]

I think it has to do with the loader tipping when it only has three. Just needs a minor adjustment to ONLY load with a full stack going into the shuttles.

[@Runoratsu]

@@christophermarsh1580 I think you‘re thinking of the Fishstairs? I noticed the same thing as Matthew… maybe tipping the new wooden tray slightly to the right might help.

[@diariodeumcasalviking5425]

Indeed. I kinda liked the old design

[@alicewade7254]

I don't think it's that big of a problem because it's happening pretty much when only a few marbles are going through the system. As more marbles come through, they occupy the rest of the shuttles. I could see a possible problem if they are mostly taken to the higher area on the marble divider since the left most notes won't get as many marbles, but assuming the machine is mostly filled with marbles while playing, the fishstair should fix that problem by recycling the extras.
