    I feel like if Webster's and them come out with a visuals-only dictionary, when they get to the word "Mesmerizing"... it should just be a picture of THIS right here.
    Mannnnnnnnnnn. Outstanding work. My izing was mesmered the whole time I watched this, y'all.

    I work at this museum, and this is a favorite of nearly every child that comes in. as cool as it is in video, it's even better irl! I've seen kids stand and watch for upwards of 10/15 minutes, which is super impressive considering they're elementary schoolers with 20 second attention spans lol. it's a truly impressive work of engineering!

      99% look downwards in their play station, video games and social networks. Construction games used to to wake them much better up.

    Love the shots attached to the elevators, tilt arms and spinners. Also cool how the vortex also acts as a funnel to catch balls

      Thank you! Yes sadly it has been taken down, but a brand new machine is under construction from its pieces! Smaller, but denser. There's some build updates on my channel!

    I love the music selections...I did NOT expect to see a path running along the ceiling but was glad there was before falling into that giant funnel. Nice work, everyone =) Thanks for the upload.

    I always loved seeing these in videos when I was a kid. My favorite kind of video. Literally would spend hours watching those little balls go by over and over lol. Just so damn impressive. I would love to build one myself someday

    Love it! However, I would love to see a video of you following 1 ball throughout the structure so we can get a true idea of the magnitude of this iconic piece of art. I know it's asking a lot but even if it takes over an hour I would watch it. Also, how long did it take for you to connect this structure?

    • @Kafj302
      @Kafj302 4 года назад +4

      That would be cool, a clear ball with some sort of leveling system inside the ball to hold a go pro. That would assure we got a nice level video.

    Este juguete es un proyecto muy ambicioso, pero si lo hicieran montaña rusa y le metieran giro - esferas Yo pagaría 1000 dólares por subirme y vivir la experiencia y la adrenalina que este juguete propone. Gracias
    This toy is a very ambitious project, but if they made it a roller coaster and turned it - spheres I would pay $ 1,000 to get on and live the experience and adrenaline that this toy offers. Thank you

    Can you put a camera INSIDE a ball? I'm trying to think how you would do it so the view isn't constantly spinning.

  • @mitchkatz4918

    duration of the route a ball takes? are the 12 paths equidistant- duration of each path similar?

    anyone know what those reinforcing pieces are near rod tips and orange connectors never seen then before

    • @Austron
      @Austron  4 года назад

      Those are called "Rod Locks". They are a fairly rare piece that came in the Son of Serpent kit, as well as a few of the Nerf kits. You can find them for sale on KnexUserGroup and eBay, but they aren't cheap. I 3D printed several hundred of them for this project, as I was not able to find them in large enough quantities. That's why they appear here in several different colors. They are usually black.

    I Wish KNex would attempt other Ball Half *Colors apart from red and yellow
    *Orange, Green, Blue and Purple

    • @Austron
      @Austron  3 года назад

      There have been a few other colors, like transparent green, silver, and black, but they are relatively uncommon. I agree that a wider selection of colors would be great, though! Unfortunately I don't think K'nex even manufactures this style of ball anymore.
