Ugears Marble Run Chain Hoist

What is it about marble runs that makes them so engaging? Kids (and grownups!) can view marbles decreasing a track, going through various challenges, for hours on end.  Marble runs are fascinating, they get our attention, and yet they're also unwinding. Marble runs and races have actually ended up being an unforeseen YouTube phenomenon, with thousands of videos racking up countless views. You pick a marble to view, to cheer for, you wonder which course it will take, you put yourself in the marble's place, picturing that you are right there with the glass ball, going on a magnificent, unidentified journey, with twists and turns and surprises around every corner. The excitement is even greater when you have actually constructed the marble run yourself. Now you're not just passively watching a video, you're totally invested due to the fact that you constructed a fascinating device with your own hands.

Presenting the UGears mechanical Marble Run Chain Hoist design—an interesting combination of art and engineering. The Marble Run Chain Hoist is both a beautiful kinetic sculpture and an elaborate toy that teaches as it captivates. This DIY wood marble run features a chain hoist powered by a hand crank, and a series of tracks, each with its own distinct and enjoyable barrier or element. Turn the deal with clockwise to set the device in motion, and watch as the wood chain hoist collects and lifts the marbles to the top of the device, where a 3-way switch disperses them on various tracks. One marble plunges down a chute with a loop-the-loop at the bottom; the next tumbles down the various stages of the cascades, while three others are gathered in the accumulator then released down among three brief tracks. All marbles pass through the common tray or collector before returning to the chain hoist to be lifted on their next journey.

The Marble Run Chain Hoist is modular and can be linked to other Marble Run Chain Raises (2 or 4 designs can be linked, in pairs) using special adapters (consisted of). Connect two mechanical Marble Run Chain Hoist designs together frontally, or connect 4 together, both frontally and laterally, for a small system of hoists and runs.

As marbles enter the 3-way switch each marble closes a "door" behind it, allowing the next marble to pass further. The third marble, going through the last hole, opens the doors using a lever.
