I absolutely love the musical aspect you've designed in here. This needs to be in childrens' homes!

What I like most about MM1, compared to the later ones, is the sound it makes. The xylophone is a major part of that, but the whole thing seems to be very well balanced and musical in a machine-like way. Fabulous!

This machine was the reason I subscribed to you in the firstplace... it's on my todo list to build a marble pump like this.

Matthias Wandel, a polymath if there ever was one. Carpentry, engineering, mathematics, music, computer programming, film editing. You name it. Wow.

Actually, that machine has made over $2000 to date through KZfaq ad revenue from the other video.

This is absolutely fantastic. Thanks for sharing your ideas.

Dude you are awesome, these marble machines are so cool!!

I could not resist giving you your 1K like!!!

there are CNC machines specifically made for solid wood, I know there is some fine adjustment that machines can do, that is why I suggested making kits, but is your call man. I admire your skills, keep this type of things coming ;)

This is just utterly beautiful.

That is incredible! I wish I was only a quarter as talented as you!

your channel is great!

Excuse me Sir, I didn't meant to be rude, It was just a thought but you proved me wrong, keep the marble machines coming, they are awesome, greetings from Mexico.

Thanks for the video Matthias. Love the videos... :D

i swear if you put even more time into these it would be considered art and i mean really valuable art.

If only I would be able to build/invent such a machine, my life would have a meaning after all!

Thanks for the video!

Hi Matt- dig the marble machine, love to see you make one using golf balls. thx

2 million? It is soon to be 3 Million times!

Have you ever thought about having your own line of toys? Kids will love these!

Oh, and if you want to continue this argument, please argue with somebody else. If you are so convinced it can be done, stop arguing and just do it. If you want to make a point, prove it!

Matthias thanks to share this with us...

Matthias, how high do you think the marble stack could go before the motor / pump struggled?

You are my hero.

Materials were all used wood. And the tools I had anyways. Time - well, probably about a week all together.

I love how musical this sounds when it runs

Probably, when I get around to it.

Is it touring complete?

KZfaq video for it viewed over 5.5 millions times now :) Fun creations

awesome!! wish i could build things like this haha

They are still brilliant.

you can really make some serious money with this, all you need is to lay out the designs and find a good CNC wood laser cutter. You can then do some kits and sell them by ebay or in your own Website. never underestimate the power of mass production. And seriously Sir, you can make a ton of money with your inventions.

Thanks for the detail. I like the idea of a slip clutch. Kewl...

@Matthiaswandel Nicely Done.

The elevator is a marble machine and elevators can be xylophone for marbles for lift and elevator is used by marbles.

CNC could take 30% of the work and replace it with one third as much. And there'd be bigger bills to pay, and higher material costs (can't easily put solid wood in a CNC machine). You have no idea how much non-machine work goes into these things.

Now you need to do a new cyder episode!

When you said "paths"... I think my eardrum may have gone on vacation.

love the sound of it,id turn it on to sleep to

Does it ever clog?

Problem with the pump idea is you always got 20-25 marbles or more in the up side. Wasted IMHO. I like the corkscrew if one an get it working right or the swinging arm. Interesting video thanks .

@Matthiaswandel but whats the price? 40-50 usd?

You would probably be really good at Minecraft.

But that is over a large amount of time, right?

yeah, it's absolutely inconceivable that somebody might do something just to do it, see if it can be done, and not to profit off it.

how long did this take to make

Just watching this video, I subscribed. Say, what camera did you use?

You should make a fountain!

You should make a marble powered computer

Well, step1 would be to stop all work on the website. Because to justify a $100,000k machine, I'd have to drop all other pursuits. And then I'd most likely still be losing money. Note the lack of other players in that space. There's a reason for that.

3 Million Times!

I love the noise at 1:34

“The zig-zag is straight forward” 🤣🤣🤣

it's not about money it's about art!

the sound reminds me of the everlaasting gobstopper mahine in willy wonka

You with your marbles :P

will you do a simila video involving number 2?

"Trust me, I'm an engineer" Yes, you are !

$1000 is too little to justify the effort even without decorations. That's why I don't make these for sale.

I have to say. Cool slow-mo at 1:13 for the noise

Ok. Cool!

Is there anything this man can't make out of wood?

do you know where i can buy it?

Make a catapult piece! (like the counterweight one)

@Matthiaswandel yay! you earned a lot of money on this then! (bullshittranslated = whats the price to make this? (of materials and tools))

probably twice as high

I want to make something like that. That’s so cool but I don’t know how so make something like that😔

No. I don't want my toys to take up a whole room.

This is My Very 1st Comment Ever On The Video The Xylophone Sounds Like An Instrument

could you make a How to Video on how to make The divide by two mechanism o the top? it would realy help my out on my school project. If you dont, Thanks anyway:)

por fabor lo unico que kiero es el plano del mecanismo pumple por fabor !!! solo ese plano del motor tipo pumple

you should do a tutorial video...

Flips flops and ..... divide by 6 ?. It's a kinda of marble powered primitive microcomputer ?

@Matthiaswandel Why don't you spend a bit longer than a week ... put some more detailing on it ... paint, designs, etc. and make them into art pieces/antique type toys. You could sell them for probably something like $600-1000 with more polish. As it is - it's wonderful though! :) Get some people to help and maybe mechanize some of the designs of parts that are used repeatedly and you could increase the turnaround too.

No. It doesn't make sense spending a week building something that people think is worth maybe $150.

the universe in miniature

Mình muốn mua 1 cái,có ai bán ko

Canadian pride? :)

@ElGatoLoco698 Norm Abraham FTW.

This is broken elevator.

Build

If you have not seen this video, you might enjoy it. KZfaq Video: MNipg3AVCG4 Around 5:15 is a very interesting gating system that you'd like..

I played minecraft.

THERE IS NO MONETARY GAIN TO THIS, THEREFORE MAKING IT USELESS. Like Seriously. Not everything needs a purpose.
