Ugears Marble Run Stepped Hoist

 You look "marble-ous!"

Introducing the mechanical Marble Run Stepped Hoist, the 2nd in a series of Ugears modular marble runs. This fun and fascinating wood marble run features an innovative 3-stepped alternating lift mechanism and a set of brand-new features to hold your attention as you view the marbles make their cyclical journey. Numerous tracks and components are packed into a compact space in this do it yourself marble run.

The design has a 3-stage alternating lift that hands the marbles back and forth as they climb to the leading to embark on their amusement park adventures. Which marble will take which track, and which will make it down first? The wood Marble Run Stepped Hoist features a 3-marble accumulator in which the third ball opens evictions for the caught very first and 2nd marbles, sending all 3 along their divergent paths. There are 3 tracks: the very first includes a 2-marble accumulator and serpentine run, the 2nd is a hammer swing inside a C-shaped cradle, and the third has a whirlpool or funnel. All marbles eventually go through the collection tray and into the seesaw lift. A rocker switch mechanism either sends out the marbles back along the return track to the 3-stepped lift, or (and this is where it gets truly exciting!) into another connected Ugears marble run.

We have actually designed the Ugears line of marble goes to be modular, that is, each design works as a standalone, or it can be linked frontally or laterally to other Ugears marble runs of the exact same or different style (2 or 4 models can be linked, in sets, using the special connectors consisted of in the set). The rocker mechanism at the end of the run can send marbles in one direction or the other, or both instructions (depending on the connected weight), returning marbles to the initial hoist or sending them to a different marble run. With adjacent marble runs you now have a remarkable, intricate system of interconnected components, all powered by a single crank. It resembles a miniature amusement park! Keep an eye on your favorite marble—who understands where it will end up when it will return to its beginning point, or what flights it will bring the way!

The Ugears Marble Run Stepped Hoist is an interesting mix of art and engineering. It is both a stunning kinetic sculpture and a detailed toy that teaches as it entertains. As you build this ingenious wood marble run, you will discover the interaction of drive gears and driven gears and the function of counterweights. Turn the crank deal with clockwise to set the machine in movement, and prepare to be enthralled as the alternating stepped ladder gathers, lifts, and passes the marbles back and forth till they reach the top of the machine to start their runs. UGears marble runs are strong. Rigidity in the structure is achieved through a strong base and tightened frame parts. A muscular equipment drive delivers power to both lifts: the primary 3-stepped alternating lift and the auxiliary seesaw lift.
