The sculpture has ten different track paths with loops (both small and large), four tipping arms, balls on track, Ferris wheel ball lifter, serpentine, zig-zag, semi automated switch, two ball switch, ball collector jump, ball collector, spinning arm, three tall spirals, oval flat spiral, conical spiral and plenty of track! the helical lift has three guide tracks, delivering the marbles back to the top of the sculpture. Each set of marbles remains independent of the other two sets.
There is over 270 metres of wire within the sculpture and it has been powder coated in Silver Chrome. The total height is 2.6 metres and the sphere section is 1.4 metres in diameter. The entire sculpture can be manually turned throughout 360 degress in the vertical axis. The power to drive the motor for the lift is transfered through a system of brushes so that the cable inside does not twist and break as the sculpture is rotated.

Beautiful
I was expecting you here
Oh hi there martin
Thanks Martin. Appreciate the comment. I am eagerly awaiting the completion of your Marble Machine X!!!
Echte Künstler
Wintergatan Ha! Perfect. As I was watching, I thought to myself, “Martin would appreciate this.” And here you are. I’m a longtime very proud supporter and fan of Wintergatan. Cheers!
How peaceful it would be to watch that kinetic sculpture on a quiet evening....
...as long as you had loud music playing. ...
The sheer magnitude and complexity of design, planning, angle calculations, mathematics, construction time, and the emotional investment of blood, sweat, and tears involved are beyond my imagination.
Never would I have imagined that little objects rushing frantically through a maze could be a thing of such breathtaking beauty..gives me hope
I can't stress enough how a Rhinoceros 3D would look like with the sections, elevations, axonometric and the grasshopper 3D code would look like. It would simply be a tour the force in architecture and design. This is simply outstanding.
An amazing piece of engineering. So very clever. The concept of mounting all of it in a ball on a floor to ceiling pole makes it a real artwork.
Thanks!!
Stunning piece of work. Beautiful, creative, and incredibly clever, all at once. Amazing.
What a pleasure it must have been to construct, deliver and hand over. Epic Dave. You nailed it.
Thanks Amsy! :-)
This one is mind blowing. So many new track sections. Fantastic job!
Waaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!! 100% Awesome! The aesthetic of the sphere is fantastic - and absolute genius to place it near the window and stairs. The lighting is so interesting - like you have stripped away the shell of a planet and we are looking at its inner working...and as you go up the stairs you must get all these interesting new perspectives. The fact that you can spin it as well is just the icing on the cake. Inspiring!
Completely and absolutely marvellous!
Crazy how with all the forces in the ball's motion it never falls out. Awesome art!
This is art you can feel without touching it. Wonderful
very cool! I bet this would look neat with glow in the dark balls under a black light.
i was also thinking about this. in a dark room, using glowing marble.
UV led strips on the inside of the large support rings and use uranium glass marbles.
That's the great idia.....
Yes - that would be amazing!
That’s what she said.
You Sir...have raised the bar very, very high in your quest for perfection. This sculpture represents pure genious level thinking.
Don't stop....only you can produce works of art that please everyone on a different level.
👏 BRAVO David!!
P.S. Your choice of musical accompaniment is quite fitting indeed....classical.
Thanks Mark! Really appreciate the positive feedback. I'm welding another sculpture as we speak.
WOW! Humm that has everything in it that I want in one! Outstanding!
There's no word to describe the hardwork put in it!
That is some next-level RB artwork. Nice job, and thanks for sharing!
Wonderful sculpture. Genius. I've watched about 7 of these videos...all by you!Great choice for music!
Creating something so intricate with my powertig would be great fun. That is a magnificent sphere.
Breathtakingly spectacular!!!
Really cool, riveting kinetic sculpture that also looks great as an aesthetic decor element to a modern home.
How come I have never seen your channel before now... This is magical!!
This is an incredible feat of imagination, construction and art all rolled into one. It’s brilliant. 👍🇬🇧

Thank you so much 😀
I can't think of a word that describes this , perfection is the best I can do, but it does not do it justice! This is definitely a work of art, engineering masterpiece and something from imagination that has magically found its way into our world! I love it!
Thanks for the great comment. Seeing it in person is much more spectacular.
Extraordinarily thinking + execution, what an art 🤩this shows how complex human brain is
The precision is crazy . It's put together like a precision timepiece

Super cool, I like that it rotates without affecting the internal machine.
Glad you like it!
Beautiful craftsmanship and engineering.
Thank you. I really appreciate your comment.
@@rollingballdave your welcome. I have been wanting to try one of these for a while. I was a boilermaker and I was especially good with geometry and I would love to make them myself. But I definitely recognise your talent.
I'm speechless. It's a masterpiece.
Thanks!!
Inspiring - about time art started doing stuff!
Amazing!
Billiard balls on a pool table to "break" or some other tricky shot?
Scaled up with bowling balls and ten pins at the end?
Oh my! You've got me thinkin' at 3 AM in a nursing home.

#WeR1sculptures
Such beauty I can't even tell if I'm on youtube or watching PBS!
Simply incredible
I've said it before, but every one of your creations out-matches the previous one. This one is literally a masterpiece. I bow in respect to the master. Good job! p.s. The videography is outstanding. Kudos to your video guy as well.
Thanks Michael. I strive to create something interesting in each piece and this commission allowed for something even greater! Thanks for the comments about the videography... I do all the filming myself. :-)
David Morrell Amazing! Your artwork is constantly evolving.
How do you build them?
I want to try, I'm all thumbs when it comes to anything requiring manual dexterity (last time I tried to wash a tea cup I burnt the house down) but i'd still like to give it a go!
I'm guessing you use stainless steel rods and form them into the intricate trackwork. Do you solder them together with a normal electronic soldering iron?
Michael Ham that's good
This is art!
Woww... Che spettacolo!!!
Hmmm. Looks like you've been busy! Great work. Thank you for sharing.
Gràcies per tanta bellesa i CONGRATULATIONS ! ! ! !
The time and effort this guy put in this one project is just crazy. AMAZING job there man. If you ever want to sell this, i really hope a museum will offer you a big money.
This one resides in a private residence. I can always make a fourth one. Check out Sphere2 and Sphere3!
@@rollingballdave there are other two? Dude, you are amazing
What other superlatives can I offer? An outstanding achievement. My mind reels at the complexity of what you have accomplished.
Thanks!
Beautifully mesmerizing.
Intricately Beautiful
Highly appreciate your work.
Much appreciated!
beautiful! love it!!
I'd want to put some of those LED lit marbles in there sometimes haha
An amazing piece of work. Must have been fiendishly difficult to plan and make. Superb.
Thank you very much!
Masterpiece
Hi, excelent work!!!
すごい…
こんなの飾ってあったら一日中見ちゃう
i dont know how much more perfect it could be
Thanks 🙂 Appreciate the comment.
It is the coolest sculpture I have ever seen
Thank you very much!
I could sit watching that for hours, super.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love it
I watched this a while back and it just popped into my head when I sister was looking at the marbles in the fish tank and I love it is just beautiful 💓
I'm glad you like it
A very logical sculpture. The balls rise on a central line. Most direct axis from the bottom to the top. All the rest of the space is used for the clever gravitational meandering of the spheres. Can be viewed from all sides. The result of a well ordered and beautiful mind with excellent metal working and welding skills. Amazing. 🌀⚖🛠🗝✴
Thank you so much. I couldn't have put it better myself.
stunning sculpture.
Thanks!
Awesome ballcoaster!!!:)
This is AMAZING !!!!
The most mind boggling thing about this is, thinking it up.
Truly astonishing!!! 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Thanks!!
Those marbles are still swirling around till this very day
wonderful!!! You are a genius!
I wish I could have it
Im very impressed, this is so satisfying to watch and it makes me happy and brings out my inner child :) you are so amazingly talented, i wish i har your skills, thank you for a wonderful video💖
