- Firstly I must credit David Morrell who thinks he may be the first person to have invented the Serpentine. A wonderful man who makes these sculptures to a super high standard and ships his marble creations worldwide. Find him and a wealth of RBS infomation via his website here: www.rollingballsculpture.com.au
In this video I actually start building the tracks and rolling the balls downhill towards the ground using a marvelous thingy called gravity and luck. Join me on my mission to solder copper wire into kinetic art.
Rolling ball sculptures are sometimes known as marble runs. I use copper wire to cut, bend and solder into tracks, axels and supports

I am also tickled at seeing this use of French curves :-)
:) Thanks
1:15 "CAD" hee hee!
Very good tuto video ! thank you for your hard work
Very very cool...subed for this content!
I see that you follow the same Cardboard Aided Design philosophy as Nick in Bad Obsession Motorsports does in the Binky Project.
Old joke I've used plenty of times! Thanks :)
Hallo was benutzt du für ein Lotkolben
Do you use a regular sodering iron? Why does it spark?
I use a resistance solder iron. I have added a link to the explanation.

Impressive as usual.
A question: What's the diameter of those rings that you cut them in half. Thx
Can’t exactly remember on this one. About an inch I think?
@@CopperGravity thx
Good tutorial. What diameter did you use for the rings?
All my track is spaced at 9mm. These rings are twice that = 18mm
Very well done! 👏 Those big steel weights that you have, do they have a name, are they a thing you can buy or are they just random pieces you have? Sorry for sounding so naive lol
Thanks. Just random blocks of metal. You can use whatever is to hand.
@Jayden Jones, you could get 1-2-3 blocks from Taylor Tools in the US. They are precision ground steel blocks useful for checking or ensuring right angles when gluing pieces together. They are useful useful for weighing down small pieces.
They are so named because their dimensions are 1"-2"-3". I am not sure what the metric equivalent might be. I suspect either 20mm-40mm-60mm or 25mm-50mm-75mm. Perhaps the first one because then it could be called a 2-4-6 block if one uses centimetres.
@@fredericapanon207 thank you for that information, appreciated 🙏
