I really hope you enjoy watching this complete build of the rolling ball sculpture. From start to finish. Soldering, electrics, woodwork, brazing and through I describe how I made it.
This is the fouth RBS that I've made.
This is from 1.6mm and 2mm copper wire. The balls are 5/8 inch stainless steel.
The lift mechanism is a Chebyshev Lambda Mechanism with the balls rolling down the arm as the arm lifts higher and higher. I've not seen this done before!

the wires might be copper, but this video is solid gold!
I like this one. The lift is very creative and different. I can’t even wrap my brain around how to figured the arc and timing. You make building these sculptors look easy.
Recently my 4y old autistic son has gotten in to marble runs on RUclips . I have been building them out of hot wheels tracks and a zigzag down an old easel. I have to be able to disassemble them. I have one of the Spacerail sets it uses plastic wire and clips but same concept as you build. I had one in my youth not sure what happened to it so when i came across it again 10 years ago i got one I might try and recreate a set up on the Spacerail with wire.
Dude, I was so blown away by your amazing skills in putting this together. You make it look easy... and I know its not! I wish I could afford one of these, as they are true works of art but sadly my currency is very weak versus the USD/GBP.
Thank you so much for your super kind comments. Very appreciated 🙏🙏✅🙏🙏
Lovely recap of the whole build 😍
Now for your next trick: a ski jump!
Oh. Good idea. Thanks.
This makes me happy everytime!
I could watch all day!
Congratulations, Cooper!
Thanks so much for the lovely comment.
Brilliant, Ian!
Cheers Martin. 👍🙏👋
OH MAN, You're good. Thank you for sharing your knowledge about marble runs. Love your work. The theology part is great too.
Thanks Banshee. Appreciate the comment. 🙏
Good summary of the whole process. Good luck with the sale.
Thanks Bob
you should be so proud, this is beautifully crafted, a work of art! thanks for the in depth video of how its all done
Thanks for your kind comment.
Thought Provoking! and Awesome work of Art!
Thanks so much.
While watching your amazing video I was reminded of clockwork and it made me think wouldn't it be amazing to build a sculpture like this based on an old pendulum clock so that it releases a ball every hour. Or even more ridiculously complex, a number of balls relating to the hour.
Such a thing should exist in the world.
Yes. Rolling Ball Clocks exist. Have a search.
Excellent!
Many thanks!
I have just watched videos of you creating two pieces, I’m loving the way you have developed and streamlined the fabrication process! The multi coloured bending form wheel is genius and the Loci linkage design to lift the balls is creatively simple and beautifully satisfying in its operation. After watch your first creation I wondered if it was possible to slow down and smooth out the path of the balls you have done this and some with this version amazing work great video I wish you all success 👍
Thank you so much Neil. I really appreciate you commenting so thoroughly. And of course I totally agree!!! ☺️
Very interesting. I love machines
Beautiful, awesome, inspiring creation. Congratulations!
very cool man very cool
Thanks so much!
This is absolutely fantastic! The lifting mechanism is particularly impressive. Thank you for sharing all the steps in such detail. I would love to attempt to make my own one some day.
Thanks Robert. 🌻🌻🌻
The lifting mecanism is soooo cool, nice job 👍
Thanks. Looks good doesn’t it!
@@CopperGravity yes sir it looks very beautiful.
I live it, and...
It’d be really cool if the ball raising mechanism and the track at the top were switched, so you got to see the precise moment the tracks align as the ball rolls over the join.
Also, it’d be great to use some more of the momentum of the ball after the loop-the-loop to get it higher and lengthen that run.
Lastly, have you thought about significantly varying the width of the track to slow down and speed up the ball?
Great work.
Richard
Thanks Richard. Great ideas.
12:47 A bowl with a hole I had a high school girlfriend with that nickname
perfect rbs, nice video, is this your work or your hobby?
Hobby. just a few hours per week now and again.
@@CopperGravity few hours... only 24 per day.... jajajajja.. cheers...
Hi Ian the movement in the sculpture is amazing and you’ve got me hooked on building, i’m playing around with track widths but not sure with the best width to go with.
what internal width do you use for your rail when using 5/8” balls as I see in the video you used a 16mm dowel for making the links will the balls just drop through with that size as 5/8” is very close to 16mm Regards Rob
Dowel size and track spacers can be used in many ways. The dowel size give a curve, but that curve could be cut into three equal parts, giving a chord instead of a semicircle.
I’m afraid I can’t remember the details of this build, but you sound wise enough to find your way through trial and errors.
Nice Video. Thank you. I too like the bowl! what kind of soldering iron do you use? I have never seen one like that.
Check description for link. It's a resistance soldering iron.
at 9:33, I think you could get away with a larger loop if you kept the two wires closer to each other
Hi, my name is Enrique and I am amazed with the way you are building these sculptures. Can you tell me what kind of welder are you using and which one you recommend?
Hi Enrique. There is a video link in the description to the resistance soldering I use.
Beautiful and stunning to look at. I live in India, near the coast and copper/brass tarnishes quickly. How do you prevent that?
Hi David. Thanks for your comment and question. My copper will also tarnish over time. I could add spray lacquer, but that would affect ball speed. So I don’t and allow the copper to slowly tarnish.
@@CopperGravity that was prompt, thanks, here the tarnish happens much quicker, salt air not withstanding.
I like this sculpture where do you get the ball berings
The is for the praise! I buy my ball bearings from a UK eBay seller.
Brilliant, Can I ask were you buy the wire
Thanks. Online from www.Wires.co.uk
@@CopperGravity Cheers would like to have a go and make something small. So many wires and sizes. What wire are you using Cheers Thanks for getting back to me. Once again Brilliant what you have made
How much does all of the wire cost to make one of these? I mean you can use stainless steel and aluminum etc. I’m curious for my own build
I’ve never really added it up as I buy bulk wire that lasts a whole year or two.
Verry nice! Good job! It is for sale?
Thanks Andrei. Yes it is for sales. Etsy link in the description. But please note that I only sell within Great Britain as the sculpture is too delicate for shipping.
Is it pure copper?
Hi. Yes. Pure copper wire.
Where do you get the wire from?
www.wires.co.uk
where do you source materials from ?
Hi David. Various online companies that sell copper wire and tubes, electrical stuff is often eBay or Amazon sellers.
The real trick is constructing a ball run that uses no external power, elevating the ball just using inertia, weight and counterweight. Is it possible?
Yes I’ve seen this done I’m sure. Life goals!!!
@@CopperGravity I'm rooting for you CG......when you achieve it, make sure you patent it.
