Perpetual motion puzzle

[Xraycer]

Mrs. X gave me the AR15 two Xmas' ago. I still haven't assembled it

So........the more I'm reading this thread, the more I'm convinced I'll be saving my AR puzzle for retirement. What's another 13 years?!

Four hours today, it's getting pretty tough and fragile.

You do realize this is not a race against the clock don't you?

I rolled a marble down the track in the areas that are complete and even after sanding the parts a little bit,
it hangs up some but I'll work on that when it's finished.

If only you'd taken more time and been more meticulous...

Seriously, @Littlemotor would have double sanded each part after beveling the edges, then adding a coat of varnish before assembly. I just can't even look at you right now.

Thank bud, it was definitely a challenge but I enjoyed it.

There was actually some parts missing, when I finished it, there was no driveshaft for the sphere.
I there was some extra gears so I built a drive shaft with two gears to go between the motor
gear and the sphere gears.

Interesting contraption. My cats would love it.

 

[Tunedfrog]

My grandkids are going to love it. Stuff like this in reality keeps me alive.

It needs 8s Lipo.

It will launch those steel balls like a wrist rocket! You'll have holes in your walls like someone attacked with an M60!

That was quick! Pretty dang cool.

Now you need to build a rollercoaster, maybe quarter scale.

TF should be able to make a killer wood coaster and with Doom as a test pilot...
