Marble Clock Saga: • MARBLE CLOCK
In my quest to build a marble clock that displays seconds I got to a point where none of the things that I've tried worked reliably so I went back to the drawing board and after internalizing that this marble clock is in itself an absurd machine and that no one can stop me I went all in and built a contraption that at the same time that makes no sense it also works reliably and will make the clock able to work 100% of the time.
This is just one fourth of the total assembly that I have planned for the mechanism required to show one of the two digits required to show seconds and I'll probably merge this clock with the original one so It can show at the same time the complete time with hours, minutes and seconds and make some marble "music" at the same time.
From what I've experienced and If I manage to build it entirely, this will be the first clock that can be detected by a seismograph.
Marbles!!!

I think the next big project alongside this one will be a marble collector that’ll be able to separate black and white marbles for use again with the clock …and something tells me the white ones will be steel, and black ones ebony wood, and magnetism will separate the balls and send them back to the top of the clock to be used again … 😊

Easiest way to display milliseconds would just be to paint one half of each marble black and the other half silver, then glue them on to the output of a high speed motor. At least it seems to me. Though at that point they're no different from mechanical pixels.

ok, now you can show the digits from 0 to 9. But you´ll need the numbers all the way up to 59. You´ll need a second machine like this to show every second from 00 to 59?? can´t wait to see this improvement

You're correct. This is the second units. Once I finish the the entire setup for one digit I'll have to do "something similar" for the tenths of seconds, this thing is going to be huge.

Have you considered a walking beam mechanism? (I think that’s what they’re called.) Used on egg grading machines. I bet you can make a big matrix of those and just yeet (in a controlled manner) the old marbles off the end with the new ones directly behind it. It would be like your old mechanism, but controlled by offset wobbling, not gravity.

@Skirakzalus 4 күн бұрын

Great job on the display rework, that contraption is crazy in a good way! While I was amongst those who suggested not relying on gravity for the marble swap anymore, my expectations were that you'd only rework the very end of the ramp in a smaller way. Like a sliding plate that would have the 15 holes and a little ramp to one side of each hole to push each marble out, then slide back to let the next set through. That would only move roughly half the diameter of a marble. Your version is much more exciting.
