Experimental Modular Marble Machine

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ก.ย. 2024
- I made this marble machine system a couple of years ago and now I made some new layouts with it. However, it's all handmade and isn't perfect because of slight deviations in some track parts but it worked good enough to make a nice video with it. I wanted to make bigger layouts, but I don't have enough support blocks to expand it. I will make new parts in the near future because I first need to invest in a workshop with professional tools. #marblemachine #marblerun #marbles #marbleasmr #asmr
Purple: Lifters, transport and elevating systems
Blue: Obstacles (like slalom, ramps, halfpipes, funnels, etc
Green: Junctions, splits, switches, etc
Yellow: Sound modules with bells, nails, chimes, gongs, etc (NOTE: it's the intention to paint the base of the glockenspiel yellow as well)
Red: Tipping or releasing mechanisms which collects and releases marbles.
I also propose to add orange elements where marbles can be pushed or launched upwards, but needs to be hand loaded like the Gravitrax special parts.
IMPORTANT: These videos are quite simple compared with our main events, but I'm experimenting and trying to invent new and satisfying marble runs and contraptions. I now have limited stuff to make big marble runs, but I will purchase more stuff soon to build bigger constructions.
Ideas are welcome!
And we don't forget to produce new marble racing and marble sports events, but it will take some time to produce it.

So this is what the Marble League competitors' training courses look like.
You are right, this is probably how they train their endurance, agility and speed at the same time!
Yup
Jelles ninja warrior
@@jeuno. 😍😍😍😍
If a kit like this was on your store, i would absolutely buy one for my desk. Good luck getting that workshop!
Yes. I was watching this with my kids, and one of the first things they said was, "I want that kit. Can you buy it for me?"
Same
I would to
It's great to see you coming back to the modular marble runs idea. It's even cooler to see the modules color-coded now! That's genius.
The color code was already in the original version of 2016.
@@JellesMarbleRuns We would remember it better if you let us see your old videos :p
@@KingMagenta I believe those were accidentally deleted.
Tomáš is right. When Google+ stopped, Jelle deleted his account, but since his TH-cam was tied to this account he also deleted his whole channel. The current JMR channel is a different than which he started with!
@@andermium oh I know that. Jelle has posted his old videos from before that time indicating they still have all the old videos somewhere.
3:49
For a brief moment that rare equilibrium was almost achieved. All the marbles held hands in a circle, but it was not to be. Lol
Ayyyyy someone had the same thought!
@@legendarywiimaster Marbles have lots of things that you have to first belive, then you will see. It's called imagination.
This is all great, but that little 3-way Toggle at 4:08 just blows my mind.
Fantastic work!
Thanks! I also was surprised that the 3-way switch still works.
That's the same element that caught my eye! Amazing! :-)
@@JellesMarbleRuns Some constructive criticism: I think the lighting is a little bit too bright, it seems to wash out some the lighter sections. Otherwise, amazing work
This is wonderful! I love the color coding, and also how the in-between parts are white - that makes the specialized parts stand out especially well! Thanks for posting Jelle! Bravo!
Anyone else felt sad for the marbles trying to get into the rotating lift thingy but got their place stolen by marbles just arriving?
Yeah, it's like "Dude, wait your turn!"
I feel the opposite - when one of the late guys get a hole shot, that’s just good racing!
Poor red guy was tossed over like 6 times.
One of the silver ones got shoved around 8 times and by the time they went up, it transitioned to the next setup
Actually ya I found myself feeling sorry for the marbles falling out of the elevator wheel thing
I would pay for a 10 hour, no commercial version of this. My tinnitus (and more importantly, my brain) would be eternally grateful.
I wasn't sure I'd like the ASMR stuff, but this one was AWESOME. I like the slight deviations. Can we have a close up of how the purple, spiral elevator works?
It's called an "Archemedies Screw", and it uses gravity pulling down on an object to hold it in place while the spiral twists underneath it, pushing up. It was originally used to move water up an angled version waaay back in ancient greece.
I really like this. It reminds me a lot of making marble tracks with those old wooden sets. Twists and turns hidden inside towers and such. Very cool. Would love to see more things pursuing this form.
People keep comparing these videos to the Marble Olympics. Get a grip, everybody! This is OBVIOUSLY just the playground for the kiddie marbles to have fun! Sheesh!
In all seriousness, these videos are really nice; and this one in particular was ,indeed, very relaxing to watch. Thanks!
I wish ASMR did something for me. I am told it is something worth experiencing. To me this basically resembles an art installation - which is not a bad thing.
Who knew our athletes could be Avant Garde musicians, too!
Well, performing is in its way an art. These athletes are blessed to be able to appreciate and take part in it.
Just waiting for next year's Marblevision. I'm rooting for Team Momo.
The Shining Swarm are already canonically rock stars
This is something I would totally buy. This is a great steam activity for kids and adults. I would play around with this for hours.
These modules are awesome. The big purple wheel that elevates them, and the red platform that responds to weight are my favorites :>
It is nice seeing some of the fans getting out and exercising a little bit!
What?
I find these videos mesmerizing. It’s not ASMR- I don’t get chills- but it’s still so satisfying to watch. The only downside is that sometimes the motor sounds like a hedge trimmer, and that distracts from the sound the marbles are making, but I know the motor is necessary to get the marbles to move upwards, so it’s ok. I’m impressed that you made this all yourself.
Thanks! It's difficult to get silent DC motors with reduction. Most DC motors makes a buzzing or whizzing noise when operating.
@@JellesMarbleRuns You could try to find something that produces an inverted sound so they cancel each other out, making them completely silent.
I loved how every one of these layouts had some form of momentum trap. If a marble didn’t have enough momentum going into the module it would get stuck until another marble bumped it.
My favorite configuration was at 7:02. Such a feeling of suspense while the marbles filled that module. And such a great payoff afterwards.
Some of these are really peaceful sounding. Like a soothing marble fountain :D
Loop. Satisfying. This marble kit should made available for us.
I love all the sound elements! Especially the glockenspiel.
What I love about this is that not only is it immensely satisfying in the moment but I can see it opening up even more creative"aha" moments in the future for new events etc
I just realized, you could make a really huge circuit with this like in model cities and model railways. A rollercoaster for marbles.
That metal coil thing on the second track was really cool. I could watch marble bounce on that thing all day.
Just the purple wheel with the consistent thunk sound would be perfect
I like the long red module that queues marbles up randomly (50%?) but guaranteed to release all the marbles once one reaches the end
Also the 3-way switch is awesome
Just sharing my experience - as someone with tinnitus, the wind chimes really hurt my ears (clinging metal specifically). Still love your videos :) thank you for continuing to make them.
Some these TOTALLY should be elements of the M1 home course for the Balls of Chaos. :)
I like to imagine the marbles as just little guys having fun :)
This video gives me Wintergatan vibes and I am all here for it!
Maybe a collab could be in the future? 👀
I also hope for a collab with Wintergatan. However, according his most recent upload he has trouble with his Marble Machine X because some design failures. I don't think that he has much time to squeeze in a collab.
Modular Marble Machine X (ASMR version)
@@JellesMarbleRuns Well, he did say that he had a secret thing inside of the box at the end of the video, and that we would be able to interact with it, so anything’s possible at this point.
You should record an album of different marble soundscapes based on random combinations of these machines!
This is very fantastic. Nice change of pace but also totally on theme.
I think some 'Obstacle course performance half time shows' like this would be cool.
Idea: Marble Warrior, a difficult obstacle course with chances to fall off, and marbles need to go through it.
I like that see through cilinder where they make loopings, could be a great piece to put in a course see some battles in there..
All I keep thinking is ninja warrior marble style. That or new rides for the marble amusement park. Keep up the great work. Oh and of course GO HAZERS #hazeamaze.
I like 2 part of machine running like going up and zig zag as well.
I like that experimental machine marble run, many years ago you did old video title logo part and also in night glowing marbles.
Quite an interesting idea for creating contraptions, I must say
I can't believe I watched this whole thing. It was just so enthralling. Good job!
I can't confirm this, but I heard that Momomomo did his rehabbing on a machine much like the one shown in the first five minutes. This is great. I deem the "experiment" a success.
THANK YOU FOR UPLOADING THIS! MY CHILDHOOD MEMORIES ARE RETURNING!!!
Wow, Fascinating works~! The pieces work perfectly~!
This is a great concept for a set of marble run toys.
That red one really swooced right in at 2:54.
Again at 4:29!
This was the type of stuff that I loved most when going to the Museum Of Science back home in Boston...
My favourite team is the Hazers and then Jawbreakers!😸
This was exceedingly therapeutic. I loved the inverted xylophone and how that sounded the most, but I cackled when I saw the high speed loop-de-loop! Please make more videos of this!
The universe is begging for you to turn this into a Kickstarter campaign.
Woah, this is so so cool. The purple side to side climbing stairs was my favourite. I liked the slow relaxing pace.
This is so fascinating to watch!
That track switcher with 3 different paths to go down is very nicely designed
The Green Multi Course Selector was a VERY interesting piece Jelle, I'm impressed! Keep it up and have fun !!
(5:05)
Oh wow the Xylophone just before the 9:05 segment as well as the metallic stems during the 9:05 segment were incredible sounds !!!!
I really miss your “sound box” video or whatever… any videos with crazy sounds are my favorite!
I loved that second to last one! Very satisfying to watch.
4:29 red marble shoots the gap so perfectly
Always loved ASMR and marbles... I could watch this video for hours
8:00 Ooo i can see the surface of those instrument runs turning into something that makes a rain machine sound.
God, I'd love to see these mass produced for purchase.
Who dare dislike this masterpiece?
Boy, you should really make them into legit products. I can play those kits all day long if I have some.
There are so many models. I don't know which one I want!!!! I cant choose!!!!!
I like the one that starts about 8:16. If you want to run that for 30-40 minutes I could definitely fall asleep to it.
This is one of my favorite videos you’ve ever made 😍
Holy shit dude, I didn't think I'd ever see these again. I gotta thank you for bringing them back, especially as someone who saw the original series.
I just got ideas for category names from reading the description:
Purple: Movers
Blue: Obstacles
Yellow: Percussion
Green: Junctions
Red: Accumulators
these are so cool, so nice to binge-watch these
I could see these having a soothing potential (love the sound elements) over a longer course. Reminds me one one of the first videos of the wooden track for kids 😊
The last was amazing
No matter what marble content you make, I'm going to watch! Got to support the channel responsible for my favorite sports!
For some reason I kept thinking about Fort Boyard. You know, one team, multiple challenges, a chance of failure...
Red spring-unlockable block, purple pinwheel elevator and glockenspiel are
These marble runs are EPIC!! You just earned yourself another sub! Great job!
These experimental courses makes me wanna watch a Marble Wipe Out course, with some jumps and gaps and bouncy parts, to see who gets furthest and rings the bell (remember Te land, te zee en in de lucht?). Run solo and then a run with the top10 or something for a knockout sprint, or vice versa.
I can't believe this brings in more viewers than marble sports.
Glad to see you doing stuff like this again
That first one feels like something a Foley artist might make for a 1950's sci-fi film that needed a computer noise.
These look like the kind of things you see in the waiting room/lobby of an establishment that wants to be seen as "fun" or "quirky" or "eccentric"
I have to admit, a lot of these are amazing. If you could set this up as DLC for your upcoming Steam game, it'd be kind of cool - letting people design their own ASMR tracks and such. :)
this is fantastic.
I needed some time to understand the red part. I like it.
2:54 that red marble is a real racer!
Well done Jelle!
This video was very relaxing. Excited to see courses incorporate these cool contraptions!
I’m tryna go to sleep and this is too dang exciting.
Well, this is the cutest thing I've seen around lately! I could watch this for days! *__*
So, uh... new event suggestions for the next Marble League using these elements? Seriously cool, if you get a workshop you may want to include a few elements in the next ML. Do a Labyrinth event or something like that maybe?
I like the idea, but the risk of track bias is too high.
THIS IS AMAZING! Get IN JELLE!!!!! Please market these somehow :D
Marble based ASMR right here.
This kind of reminds me of "Mouse Trap", but with marbles.
Lots of cool devices and traps
It needs some of that legendary commentary.
Marbles have such an interesting culture.
So creative !
i love the colours of the marbles. actually i have one marble that the color is green but i've lost the little marble when playing and now i found the green marble again
If I had the full set.... 😭😭 I would never get a-n-y-t-h-i-n-g done anymore! I would just play it ffor hoursssssss!!!
this reminds me of those old videos for babies that have pretty lights+sounds, and contraptions just like these ones. i really enjoyed watching and would love to buy one of these machines if you ever sell them
Idea for an "orange" course element: a highspeed, uphill "launcher" conveyor belt, of a similar type used by Fubeca's Marble Runs in their old Glasscar races. It'd be a rubber belt, unlike, say, the K'nex-based "elevator" belt used in things like Marbula 1. Speaking of which, that very belt (the Marbula 1 belt, that is) would also qualify as an "orange" element as it pushes marbles upwards.
The only other idea I'd have for an "orange"-type element would be more suited for a "red"-type trap-and-release element, and it would have to be paired with a green junction element beforehand: So, there's a spring-loaded solenoid kicker of the type you'd find on a pinball machine. One route of the junction has the marbles line up in the path of that kicker, and the other path has the marbles roll over a trigger that fires the kicker, sending whatever marbles that are in its path careening uphill (basically, a more powerful "uphill" variant of that "trap marbles in a reservoir, then release one-at-a-time when full" element). Probably would be best paired with a three-way junction, so that marbles that take the third path don't interact with the kicker lane at all and go to some other obstacle or a noisemaker.
This looks so cool! I hope i can make stuff like this one day
This is extremely satisfying.
Came for marble sports, stayed for high quality content
I like the red elements most.
This is awesome!
