This is a wooden marble machine. It is 6 feet tall, and is powered only by potential energy, a little kinetic energy and gravity. there are no motors, batteries or cranks. It uses a 3/8 inch diameter steel marble, which starts at the bottom, and goes to the top, and then returns to the bottom,making this trip about 1,300 times in 24 hours.

“It’s powered …
“It’s powered exclusively by gravity.”
So what about the magnet in the anti-gravity hill?
“is powered only by potential energy, a little kinetic energy and gravity”
I don’t get it

Do you have any …
Do you have any videos of the completed machine? Of course the vid doesn’t have to be 24 hours long, but even 2 or 3 trips would be plenty.

How exactly does …
How exactly does that “anti-gravity” ramp work? It must use some sort of magnet sequence… right?
