The sculpture has ten different track paths with loops (both small and large), four tipping arms, balls on track, Ferris wheel ball lifter, serpentine, zig-zag, semi automated switch, two ball switch, ball collector jump, ball collector, spinning arm, three tall spirals, oval flat spiral, conical spiral and plenty of track! the helical lift has three guide tracks, delivering the marbles back to the top of the sculpture. Each set of marbles remains independent of the other two sets.
There is over 270 metres of wire within the sculpture and it has been powder coated in Silver Chrome. The total height is 2.6 metres and the sphere section is 1.4 metres in diameter. The entire sculpture can be manually turned throughout 360 degress in the vertical axis. The power to drive the motor for the lift is transfered through a system of brushes so that the cable inside does not twist and break as the sculpture is rotated.

Beautiful
I was expecting you here
Oh hi there martin
Thanks Martin. Appreciate the comment. I am eagerly awaiting the completion of your Marble Machine X!!!
Echte Künstler
Wintergatan Ha! Perfect. As I was watching, I thought to myself, “Martin would appreciate this.” And here you are. I’m a longtime very proud supporter and fan of Wintergatan. Cheers!
How peaceful it would be to watch that kinetic sculpture on a quiet evening....
...as long as you had loud music playing. ...
Never would I have imagined that little objects rushing frantically through a maze could be a thing of such breathtaking beauty..gives me hope
The sheer magnitude and complexity of design, planning, angle calculations, mathematics, construction time, and the emotional investment of blood, sweat, and tears involved are beyond my imagination.
I can't stress enough how a Rhinoceros 3D would look like with the sections, elevations, axonometric and the grasshopper 3D code would look like. It would simply be a tour the force in architecture and design. This is simply outstanding.
An amazing piece of engineering. So very clever. The concept of mounting all of it in a ball on a floor to ceiling pole makes it a real artwork.
Thanks!!
This is an incredible feat of imagination, construction and art all rolled into one. It’s brilliant. 👍🇬🇧
Thanks - I am really glad you enjoy my work!
very cool! I bet this would look neat with glow in the dark balls under a black light.
i was also thinking about this. in a dark room, using glowing marble.
UV led strips on the inside of the large support rings and use uranium glass marbles.
That's the great idia.....
Yes - that would be amazing!
That’s what she said.
There's no word to describe the hardwork put in it!
You Sir...have raised the bar very, very high in your quest for perfection. This sculpture represents pure genious level thinking.
Don't stop....only you can produce works of art that please everyone on a different level.
👏 BRAVO David!!
P.S. Your choice of musical accompaniment is quite fitting indeed....classical.
Thanks Mark! Really appreciate the positive feedback. I'm welding another sculpture as we speak.
This is amazing. I've never seen anything like this. I searched for, artistic sculpture marbles downward run. I love work like this.
Thank you so much 😀
Stunning piece of work. Beautiful, creative, and incredibly clever, all at once. Amazing.
Waaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!! 100% Awesome! The aesthetic of the sphere is fantastic - and absolute genius to place it near the window and stairs. The lighting is so interesting - like you have stripped away the shell of a planet and we are looking at its inner working...and as you go up the stairs you must get all these interesting new perspectives. The fact that you can spin it as well is just the icing on the cake. Inspiring!
That is beautiful and intricate. A beautiful example of Engineering and Art blend together.
Thankyou!!
What a pleasure it must have been to construct, deliver and hand over. Epic Dave. You nailed it.
Thanks Amsy! :-)
This one is mind blowing. So many new track sections. Fantastic job!
I can't think of a word that describes this , perfection is the best I can do, but it does not do it justice! This is definitely a work of art, engineering masterpiece and something from imagination that has magically found its way into our world! I love it!
Thanks for the great comment. Seeing it in person is much more spectacular.
David is... Imaginative, creative and handworking
I don't know why this popped up on my recommend...but I'm glad I'm here . Wow
This is art you can feel without touching it. Wonderful
Creating something so intricate with my powertig would be great fun. That is a magnificent sphere.
Beautiful craftsmanship and engineering.
Thank you. I really appreciate your comment.
@@rollingballdave your welcome. I have been wanting to try one of these for a while. I was a boilermaker and I was especially good with geometry and I would love to make them myself. But I definitely recognise your talent.
It is the coolest sculpture I have ever seen
Thank you very much!
How come I have never seen your channel before now... This is magical!!
Crazy how with all the forces in the ball's motion it never falls out. Awesome art!
This is a magnificent creation, like a visualisation of music
WOW! Now THAT is IMPRESSIVE!!! I cannot even IMAGINE the TIME and EFFORT and THOUGHT that went into this AMAZING work of ART!!!
Thank you so much 😀
Stunningly good, this really needs to be in a public space. A1
Wonderful and relaxing at the same time. I'm awed at this.
Thank you!
Really cool, riveting kinetic sculpture that also looks great as an aesthetic decor element to a modern home.
The precision is crazy . It's put together like a precision timepiece
Grandios, sehr gelungen. Schön.
Incredible marriage of beauty and whimsy. Wow!
Extraordinarily thinking + execution, what an art 🤩this shows how complex human brain is
WOW! Humm that has everything in it that I want in one! Outstanding!
Wow i didnt think it was going to be that big but wow its amazing so much work gone into it
Thanks! Yes it was many months of work.
i dont know how much more perfect it could be
Thanks 🙂 Appreciate the comment.
Wonderful sculpture. Genius. I've watched about 7 of these videos...all by you!Great choice for music!
Whoe. That is freakin amazing. There is so much going on in that sphere. Its min boggeling. Its like it can put you in a trance. Super cool doesnt even give the words it deserves. I haveto agree with legendary
Thanks!
That is some next-level RB artwork. Nice job, and thanks for sharing!
Just have no words to describe this form of art
Completely and absolutely marvellous!
I could sit watching that for hours, super.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Absolutely incredible, what a masterpiece.
What other superlatives can I offer? An outstanding achievement. My mind reels at the complexity of what you have accomplished.
Thanks!
A very logical sculpture. The balls rise on a central line. Most direct axis from the bottom to the top. All the rest of the space is used for the clever gravitational meandering of the spheres. Can be viewed from all sides. The result of a well ordered and beautiful mind with excellent metal working and welding skills. Amazing. 🌀⚖🛠🗝✴
Thank you so much. I couldn't have put it better myself.
Dude this is awesome I Love it how the little guys roll around in your sphere. This in big as a rollercoaster? Just awesome. Thanks for the passion. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
A moving sculpture a work of art.
Since im a kid, i whis to being inside of those marbels and round around of an amazing maze like that. Thank you:)
Antonio Perales i
Where are we when it comes to planet x
Amazing sculpture David, you should be very proud.
+The MAD Museum Thanks very much!! I love a good challenge.
So intricate, complicated, and mesmerizing.
Ich liebe diese Gitterkugeln! Sie erinnern mich immer so schön an die Kinderserie Die Verwandlungsmaschine (Maszyna Zmian), welche von Andrzej Maleszka produziert wurde und in deutschsprachiger Version früher im Kinderkanal ausgestrahlt wurde. Die Serie Die Verwandlungsmaschine ist meine absolute Lieblingsserie.
Excellent!
It would take me a very very very long time to get tired of watching such a thing.
Whoever made this
I'm proud of you
Thanks. 👍
Super cool, I like that it rotates without affecting the internal machine.
Glad you like it!
All that I have to say is ....
WOW WEE WOW WOW
I'm impressed , dizzy , a little seasick. And that was from following one ball .
Thanks!
すごい…
こんなの飾ってあったら一日中見ちゃう
An amazing piece of work. Must have been fiendishly difficult to plan and make. Superb.
Thank you very much!
If I had this, I would literally watch it for hours on end
57 minutes... In total...
The time and effort this guy put in this one project is just crazy. AMAZING job there man. If you ever want to sell this, i really hope a museum will offer you a big money.
This one resides in a private residence. I can always make a fourth one. Check out Sphere2 and Sphere3!
@@rollingballdave there are other two? Dude, you are amazing
I could watch it for hours ! 😍
Two words: LEGENDARY EPIC
Thanks!!
Those marbles are still swirling around till this very day
Amazing!
Billiard balls on a pool table to "break" or some other tricky shot?
Scaled up with bowling balls and ten pins at the end?
Oh my! You've got me thinkin' at 3 AM in a nursing home.
Thanks
Loved it... amazing... can watch it over and over again. Thanks for this great video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
The most mind boggling thing about this is, thinking it up.
this is awsome. all the skill is in one space...besides, the material is so hard and not easy to shape..the loop is amaing...i can stay half day to observe it ....llove it so much..it is art.
Thanks a lot!
Woww... Che spettacolo!!!
I'm speechless. It's a masterpiece.
Thanks!!
Such beauty I can't even tell if I'm on youtube or watching PBS!
Beautifully mesmerizing.
FANTASTIC!!! I want 2 ! 1 as is and the other painted a flat black and the balls painted in color that a black light would pick-up! Put on some Pink Floyd, smoke some bud, and trip ✌
Hahaha! Love it.
@@rollingballdave Will you make one trippy like that? It would sell fast 👌
You will be pleased to know I have just filmed with UV marbles - you can watch the video here ruclips.net/video/1NXwflqDx2I/видео.html
Amazing Rolling Ball Sculpture Engineered to perfection awesome.
amazing. i was just introduced to marble structures a couple days ago, and this is the biggest, best one i've seen yet. So awesome.
Awesome, thank you!
Looks like a Perplexus toy puzzle, a sphere containing a long series of tracks.
It does - thanks!
I love it
I watched this a while back and it just popped into my head when I sister was looking at the marbles in the fish tank and I love it is just beautiful 💓
I'm glad you like it
This is what you call art, not a picture of a red square, or a ball of string on the floor.
I mean, it's beautiful, but who would want that noise in their house all day? lol
I'm not sure what's more amazing, the engineering/design or the manufacturing.
Glad you liked the sculpture. These are often set to run off of a motion sensor for a set time if someone enters the room, rather than just running all the time 👌
Inspiring - about time art started doing stuff!
I've said it before, but every one of your creations out-matches the previous one. This one is literally a masterpiece. I bow in respect to the master. Good job! p.s. The videography is outstanding. Kudos to your video guy as well.
Thanks Michael. I strive to create something interesting in each piece and this commission allowed for something even greater! Thanks for the comments about the videography... I do all the filming myself. :-)
David Morrell Amazing! Your artwork is constantly evolving.
How do you build them?
I want to try, I'm all thumbs when it comes to anything requiring manual dexterity (last time I tried to wash a tea cup I burnt the house down) but i'd still like to give it a go!
I'm guessing you use stainless steel rods and form them into the intricate trackwork. Do you solder them together with a normal electronic soldering iron?
Michael Ham that's good
Truly beautiful. Working on my second ball machine now, but its nothing like this lol.
Best regards from Israel!
Absolutely amazing, to my mind this is art. I don’t think that you could ever have it on public display because someone small minded dip-wad would bend the track.
How long did it take to construct?
Were you able to pre-construct some components?
Fantastic work!
Took a few months to build. Most components are made on the workbench and then added.
@@rollingballdave do you have a video where you show us your process ? I'm sure a lot of people would love to see a video of how it's built as well and see how everything comes together.
Barry P, which track?
Any part of it. Silly people may think that they are funny and try to bend part of the track thus creating havoc.
@@rollingballdave Yes, David, do you have any videos showing you planning and building process. Thanks. What is your background, and education?
Incredible piece of art and work 8-D
Amazing!
Thanks!
This should be worth millions than those "abstract" paintings
I like how the entire sequence is different mechanisms. Keep your vids coming!
#WeR1sculptures
Ok that's next level. Bravo.👏👏👏
Thank you! 😃
Ty youtube for recomend this video... Insane
Glad you liked it!
Breathtakingly spectacular!!!
I just can't hold myself,,,,god........... my eyes got glued to it........
Omg this is absolute bonkers 😍 i love it and how it looks
Thanks!
What a true masterpiece! Nothing more needs to be said.
Sheer, unadulterated brilliance!
It's Amazing!
Its Decorative, Inspiring and Exeptionell.
Thanks for the awesome comments!
SCIENCE + ART = FUN GAME
I WOULD PAY $1 MILLION FOR THAT FREAKIN' GENIUS THING..
This is art!
beautiful! love it!!
I'd want to put some of those LED lit marbles in there sometimes haha
such an epic ecosystem for marbles
Механизм машины впечетляет. Интересно, как она звучит по настоящему))
Thanks
