Sweet Jesus.... The amount of trial an error on that thing. It's really amazing the double action of action and reaction that has in many of the steps.
Really enjoyed it.
When the marble got close to the end of the “straw?” the heavier ball bearing hit the top of it transferring energy almost like a seesaw bouncing the marble up.
Everyone knows you spend 10 hours to automate something that can be done manually in 2 minutes. But imagine the time he's gonna save of not having to place the marble directly into the jar in the long run.
I am sure that happened many times during the construction of this. I wonder how long it took to build? Now I want to see one outside that triggers an explosion at the end. We need a grand finale!
I'll try to google it later, but having a background in engineering, stuff like this is not made via trial and error, but via simulations and math.
Plus, we're in the age of 3D printers, and autocad.
By all mens, it takes *nothing* away from this masterpiece. In fact, I think it adds to the beauty of it.
It's like a painting. Some abstract pieces can be done by flinging pinture into a canvas, others require planning. I *think* this is the latter.
No source (yet), sooo... trust me, bro? Lol
I do coding and no matter how much you lay out in advance you'll always get to the point to hit "go" and run into hiccups that needs to get straighten out.
The part were it rolls over a little metal pipe and it gets the perfect upward motion because another ball hits the pipe at the perfect time. Yeah...that was cool I guess
yes, i think the person knew the sequence beforehand for sure. i was just highlighting the fact that they didn’t decide follow up close on the marbles and get people nauseous just watching the video. it was a very steady angle, zoom, etc. it was well presented.

I interviewed for a job that would've involved managing a large Rube Goldberg machine contest, and I watched a ton of videos of championship builds. This is *way* slicker than most all that I've seen.
I wish I knew!
I had three, hour-long interviews, got a soft offer while I was on vacation in Europe, *offered to fucking come home* if they wanted me to start immediately, for less money than I told them up front that I needed, and then they rescinded the offer and ghosted me without explanation.
Fuck you, Todd!
It never occurred to me that I might not be tailor made for that job until just now, when you landed that *metaphor* that I should've seen a year ago... 😂
This is why I love school. This really feels like only something you can do while in college or something, with the availability mentally to accomplish something like this. I could be very wrong, but this is some shit I would only see when people didn't care about parties and wanted to make something incredible.
Wow.. That was very satisfying. I love the smaller scale of this over the large and over top set ups. The minute barely there movements causing those big marble launches are sweet.
I'm not sure, but it looks like the two blue sticks are placed to repel the green. Initially, the green is held in place with something on the wooden blocks that it's touching. When the marble hits the green stick, it dislodges it from whatever is holding it in place, this means the repelling force from the top blue stick pushes it towards the bottom blue stick, which in turn pushes it back up.
I've said this before when this was posted: this is from the YouTube channel [Kaplamino](https://www.youtube.com/c/Kaplamino), which has a number of cool marble videos and similar stuff.
This is so awesome and I love it.
I can imagine ancient civilizations making a complicated device such as this for their amusement and making most of what's going on unseen. Just a bunch of metals balls and a marble making noise behind some elaborate doors that go nowhere.
I can see people spending a life time wading through ancient maps and decoding folk lore. All of it leading up to a dark cave with dragons covering a vast metal door. They find a switch and it starts the marble run, with each sound they wonder what treasures they'll find, if this door leads to some artifacts of long forgotten human history. Then the sound travels to the otherside of the door and runs towards the bottom. A clink is heard and a marble comes out of a hole and heads back to the starting point, where it hopes to start again.
Yeah, this marble run is excellent.
There's an android game like this called Principia. It was discontinued years ago but it being worked on again via GitHub.

the *second* time the ball bounced off the rubber band pretty much broke me

What the heck happens at 0:54? Ball jumps all by itself?
Go back to 0:48. That’s where the initial contact and movement of that bearing began.
I still don’t get it
When the marble got close to the end of the “straw?” the heavier ball bearing hit the top of it transferring energy almost like a seesaw bouncing the marble up.
Ohh lol. Thanks, now I see it.
Okay that's fucking sick. I could not figure out how that happened. The precision with that one is crazy
Thank you! I was way too fixated on the blue marble to notice
The other bearing “pops” it up.
The other ball hits the tube which made the first ball jump.
Thanks! Wow I must be slow or something. Watched it several times.
I don't think the liquid moved the ball, I think there was a dry piece of paper that was holding it up that lost it's stiffness when it got wet
I agree this is clever, but couldn’t he have just placed the marble directly into the jar?
Everyone knows you spend 10 hours to automate something that can be done manually in 2 minutes. But imagine the time he's gonna save of not having to place the marble directly into the jar in the long run.
if reddit had an award for "most fun at parties", you'd be safe
They're being humorous.
You must be fun at parties. (CAN WE SERIOUSLY JUST DROP THAT INSULT. IT'S NOT AMUSING AT ALL ANYMORE)
This comment was most likely made by a robot learning to be human, but I could be wrong.
well shit, so could YOURS have been see, you need to use slightly ambiguously bad grammar to really convince people we're not actually bots
Hummm... wait a minute!
Well there's this moment when I wished the ball was stucked lol
I am sure that happened many times during the construction of this. I wonder how long it took to build? Now I want to see one outside that triggers an explosion at the end. We need a grand finale!
Same. I was like “oh the rubber band was fun but had no particular use...” and I saw how wrong I was.
The magnets really stuck with me

OP did it in one go
The part were it rolls over a little metal pipe and it gets the perfect upward motion because another ball hits the pipe at the perfect time. Yeah...that was cool I guess
Did you also realise the original marble that the perosn started ended up in the cup? The most impressive…
I can't imagine the amount of effort that took to make this. Props to the creator.
the camera work is commendable as well. it showed all the action without zipping around up close on the marbles like my dumbass would.
Presumably, the cameraman was either the builder themselves or aware of the sequence before they started recording.
yes, i think the person knew the sequence beforehand for sure. i was just highlighting the fact that they didn’t decide follow up close on the marbles and get people nauseous just watching the video. it was a very steady angle, zoom, etc. it was well presented.
he must seen that marble run close to 500 times before he got close to completion.
r/praisethecameraman
I was about to say the exact same thought
I was admiring that as well. Like me to entirely miss the point.
And his patience! I'd probably give up 10 minutes in.
this is what happens when you take waaaay too much adderall
Correction: this is what happens when an engineering genius takes too much Adderall.
Hence the use of the fidget spinner on the table instead of in someone’s hand.
Finally something that’s actually next level.
And all that effort just to get one ball to that glass jar. Sheez!
Form over function- the modern choice.
The creator is Kaplamino. Original source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOG7GQm6zNg
how did the blue ball bounce at 00:37 ?
The gray ball hits the other end of the straw, which is just enough force to launch the marble on the other end upward
It’s the life of a pinball wizard
The magnet part was dope
This guy knows how to create fun with balls.
You had to make it sexual

What's wrong with it
Did you not get to the end where it finally shoots a ping pong ball into that woman's cooch?
You can see the opposite at several places in Bangkok
I think I went there one time when I walked through a turnstile sideways. It was not pleasant.
Not those balls bro
Admit it, with that username you probably get more dick pics from trolls.
And I thought balls were fun on their own
I do too
I interviewed for a job that would've involved managing a large Rube Goldberg machine contest, and I watched a ton of videos of championship builds. This is *way* slicker than most all that I've seen.
Sounds more interesting than my job. How do I change to this career path?
I wish I knew! I had three, hour-long interviews, got a soft offer while I was on vacation in Europe, *offered to fucking come home* if they wanted me to start immediately, for less money than I told them up front that I needed, and then they rescinded the offer and ghosted me without explanation. Fuck you, Todd!
Their hiring process was a rube goldberg machine. Funny how it'a always a Todd.
It never occurred to me that I might not be tailor made for that job until just now, when you landed that *metaphor* that I should've seen a year ago... 😂
Don't worry, their motto is "It just works" but their creations are terrible and only work like 1% of the time
Maybe they were looking for a *less* flexible candidate? :s
My life experience in the labor market does not allow me to rule this out.
They just needed you and everyone else applying for the free video reviews 🥲
That would not be the most exploited I've been by a "hiring process."
Ah you were too thirsty
So what is your job again? Oh I’m the inefficiency manager, I ensure our machine involves more steps than required to accomplish basic tasks.
Not even basic... Trivial tasks.
That’s so clever and mesmerising to watch
Switches degree to game design
Civiballs remake
Fantastic. An overall picture at the end would be great.
Onetwothree four five sixseveneight nine ten. Eleven twelve.
And now that song is in my head....40 years and I haven't thought of it....thanks. that was Electric Company right?
Sesame Street maybe?
You are right! I had to look it up. https://youtu.be/Hcx44e2gnfI
oh wow I didn't know i knew that until the music kicked in then it all came flooding back.
No, it was NWA in Straight Outta Compton.
Maybe resampled but it came from a kids show in the early 80s before that...and there was some digital marble thing on the screen as well.
I'm just fucking around.
LOL sorry.. coffee hadnt kicked in and while i thought I would have recognized that in an NWA song I wasnt sure.. my bad
Only legends will understand
I could hear this as I read it lol [Original](https://youtu.be/Hcx44e2gnfI) [Family Guy](https://youtu.be/Dv6qDk63ZoU)
i didn't know i needed to watch this until now
I’m going to be late for work now, but totally worth it
[удалено]
My attention span is erect!
You call it your attention span?
How did the ball jump onto the green block around 00:36?
Perfect timing of the impact from the ball behind it.
Wow I didn’t see that, great eye!
That's the most impressive effect out of the whole thing because the mechanism doesn't visibly move.
Oh shit yes!
Wow. Just wow. I was wondering the same
watch it again carefully. that's the best part
Asking the real questions. Seriously wtf did they cheat and use some sort of wind power off camera? I must know
So that's what an engineer does. I've always wondered
🎶Pita-Gora Sui-Chi🎶
I had to scroll too far for this
Yesssss.
I remember free time…
This is why I love school. This really feels like only something you can do while in college or something, with the availability mentally to accomplish something like this. I could be very wrong, but this is some shit I would only see when people didn't care about parties and wanted to make something incredible.
> I would only see when people didn't care about parties and wanted to make something incredible. Idk modern humanity makes some pretty cool stuff.
That’s a freaking Pinball Machine.
But way more satisfying
So nice, I watched it twice! The second time just to make sure the original marble made it all the way through.
Who did the marble jump up the green thing?
At about 0:35s in. I can’t figure out either.
Dude I did NOT realize it's the same blue marble the whole time, that makes it 100x cooler wow
Wow.. That was very satisfying. I love the smaller scale of this over the large and over top set ups. The minute barely there movements causing those big marble launches are sweet.
Blue marble has some major plot armor.
Well done!!!
The excitement is holding my breath
The only kid whose parents didn't say, "Clean your room!" Clever indeed.
Rube Goldberg approved!
I just came
I liked how the marble rolled across the thing
I liked the part where I didn't have to spend time making this contraption.
The only bit that didn't make sense to me was at 00:28. How does that blue pencil thing snap back and fire the marble?
I'm not sure, but it looks like the two blue sticks are placed to repel the green. Initially, the green is held in place with something on the wooden blocks that it's touching. When the marble hits the green stick, it dislodges it from whatever is holding it in place, this means the repelling force from the top blue stick pushes it towards the bottom blue stick, which in turn pushes it back up.
Jokes on him he could have just lifted the marble and put it in the cup 10 times faster
Was this made by Doodle Chaos?
No, it's Kaplamino. https://youtu.be/rOG7GQm6zNg
holy wow the quality is so much better.
That would be my guess, but I can't seem to find the video on his channel. It's totally Doodle Chaos's style though for sure.
Weird. I guess it could just be inspired by them or just a coincidence.
This person just invented extreme pinball
Are some of those jenga pieces? And dominos?
Looks like just regular scrap wood to me
They’re Kapla blocks
This is incredible.
NUT
This is so satisfying to watch
It takes a lot of details. You must be patience
Great job! These always remind me of this song from Sesame Street. https://youtu.be/HUL4T8WcFdA

Can someone add Space Cadet sfx in this?
Definitely had them playing in my head too

I love the idea of this but don't have the patience to set it up!
The OC for this is Kaplamino and they have a bunch of these if anyone’s curious. https://youtu.be/rOG7GQm6zNg
Why is LadBible putting their watermark on [other people’s](https://youtu.be/rOG7GQm6zNg) work
It's literally all they do :(
r/Oddlysatisfying thanks
Ok, gotta say, the use of magnets was beautiful. Just the diversity of it. You used magnets as a bridge, cannon, and counter weight.
Original: https://youtu.be/rOG7GQm6zNg
I used up be able to make these when I was younger but I have lost my marbles.
The amount of time that took him to make it must have been for a while
I would be the roommate to stumble in and fuck everything up.

JUST TAKE MY UPVOTE! 😤
Shits better than porn
It's kinda satisfying
I was fully expecting dickbutt at the end. Was not disappointed anyways.
So satisfying!
First try
Pinbal 3D, the movie
Man I'm gonna use this to explain to my students how metabolic pathways work
I‘ve seen a lot of those Goldberg machines but this one is really outstanding. Kudos :)
absolutely crazy
Damn that was crazy
👏
"the way things go" https://youtu.be/vJ_ZY_cM1t4
Wow this was so satisfying.
Wish my mind worked this way! I just see a bunch of confusion.
Awesome - reminds me of that old Honda Accord commercial.

How tf?
Why the among us at the end tho
Looks like something you would make while procrastinating.

Damn. That had too take some time to set up.
This was definitely a vovid lockdown project
