Fort Kecil - a Knex Ball Machine
มุมมอง 26K14 ปีที่แล้ว
Here's my first ball machine. It was build in June 2009. It's not that big, there are 4 paths... I didn't have as much knex back then as I have now... :) Thanks for watching! Music: Jim Noir - Don't you worry

This beast has 12 legs driven by a motor in the center. The legs work the same as "strandbeest" by the kinetic sculptor Theo Jansen.

Knex Ball Lift Mechanism 2
มุมมอง 8K15 ปีที่แล้ว
I did an attempt to make the lift faster. It works 100%! Click here to see some more detailed pictures: www.knexforum.com/f6/ball-lift-mechanism-123/#post2025
Knex Ball Lift Mechanism
มุมมอง 11K15 ปีที่แล้ว
This is a lift I made based on the one seen here: th-cam.com/video/q7p5AwG1luQ/w-d-xo.html It can be used to transport balls in horizontal, vertical and diagonal direction.
K'nex Differential
มุมมอง 8K15 ปีที่แล้ว
Here's a K'nex Differential, you could use it to link up two motors for double the speed and torque.

    When I was 11 I watched this with my Dad and I begged him to please build a course like this with me. So we did. I tried to recreate Path 4 and got to spend so much time with my Dad building it. I'm glad I saw this video. :)

    I had one of these sets that I built with my dad as a kid. Does anyone have a link to someone selling this kit? It took forever to build but we did it. After a few weeks, I started picking pieces off of it until the roller coaster was breaking down. At some point the temptation not to smash it to bits like godzilla was too great and that was the end of that. Parts were reused though so no big deal.

    Man I can FEEL the nostalgia And I only found this around a year ago! And also the music choice odly enough fits in, its doesnt take away from the brilliant engineering and work that was put into this.
