Rolling Ball Sculpture inside a glass cabinet - Story 83

I built this rolling ball sculpture inside an antique pine and glass cabinet. The hardest part was the lack of access becuase only the front door was removable.
The balls are one inch (25mm), the copper wire is a mix of 1.6mm and 2.0mm.
The whole design and build process is documented on the RBS7 playlist.

It turned out great. Very smooth and lots of motion. Congratulations on yet another piece of art

[@CopperGravity]

Thank you very much!

[@billfield8300]

Great work Ian. Looking forward to RBS8.. 🙂

[@CopperGravity]

Thanks Bill. Me too.

I hope you get over a million views on this, because the skill and time you've put into creating such a stunning piece will be worth it.

[@CopperGravity]

Thanks for the comment. Very appreciated. 🙏

One thing I've never seen anyone do on these rolling ball sculptures is place little chimes or bells along the tracks for the balls to ring as they go down. If you are really clever you can even make them play a tune. That could be fun to see (and hear) and a distraction to the usual rattling of the metal... Who knows? Great work on this one! Watched all the episodes!

[@CopperGravity]

Hi. It’s done quite a lot actually. (I did a bell on RBS5. Also, go to Wintergarten and watch his most popular videos.

[@fredericapanon207]

​@@CopperGravityI think that you mean Wintergatan...

[@garysd9943]

Congrats! Another creative and well built RBS. I am sure it is not as easy as you make it look...though do appreciate that your build videos do address some of the challenges that you face and always overcome. Maybe someday I'll find out just how tough it is to make one, we'll see.

[@CopperGravity]

Thanks Gary. Appreciate your comment. Good luck if you ever have a go. 🤞

[@Robert-ne4qu]

Once again a very nice project. I'm already looking forward to the next one.

[@CopperGravity]

Thank you. 🙏

This unlocked a forgotten memory from my childhood! There's a giant Gravitram sculpture by Shab Levy that's been at the Kentucky Science Center since the mid 80s

Thanks for the comment. 👍

I love your videos! So cool! I am looking into starting a similar hobby, but with 3d-printed tracks instead of copper tubing. I have a couple questions. What type of soldering iron do you use? It doesn't look like a typical iron is why I ask. My other question is, where do you source the sides of your enclosures? Are they glass? Plastic? Are they from a local shop or amazon? Thanks!

[@CopperGravity]

Hi. I use a resistance solder iron and I have a video (link in description). The vintage cabinet came with glass sides. 👋

[@TheParkAttendant]

Is it possible to make a loop to loop sculpture.

[@CopperGravity]

Yes this can be done. ➰

[@matteosessa66]

dove si comprano le sfere in metallo ?

[@CopperGravity]

Most of my materials are purchased online from Amazon or independent shops in my county.
