Marble Machine 3

Posted by admin on March 20th, 2010 and filed under wooden | 25 Comments »

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.

    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
