Knex Ball Machine PLUTO - World's First 360 Degree Rotating Knex Machine

Ғылым және технология

After 16 months of building, I can finally show you my latest knex machine called Pluto.
It hase:
2 Networks
7 Lifts (3 new)
8 Paths
13 New Elements
1 Main Separator
And about 19.300 pieces.
There will be separate video's for all the new elements and lifts, + an overview and a deconstruction video where I show you what's underneath the floor.
This was by far the most DIFFICULT machine I've ever made.
I was ready to give up when the system underneath the floor just broke because of the huge weight it needed to pull to make the machine rotate.
After many days I've managed to make it work again by adding more motors and an overall stronger structure.
This machine was a real challenge but I'm really happy how it "turned" out ;).
I hope you enjoy the video,

    Usually these things will have at least 1 element that I've seen before, like a loop, or spiral, or spinners or whatever, but every single element in this is new and cool. I can't believe how good this build is. Even the elements that are "an arm" have some crazy mechanical aspect to it that makes the element so cool to watch. Very well done holy shit.

    Pretty insane I must say, the way that path lines up while roating was so cool

    Great to see a new ball machine. Very impressive and super challenging I bet. Even though this is a smaller ball machine than you typically build, this was still no small feat. People who don't build with K'nex simply won't understand that. Maybe this will jump start other creators to build new ball machines as there hasn't been many published lately. Anyway, great stuff Thibault!!! I look forward to more in the future.

    HardPunkKore Thanks man! I also find it a bit unfortunate that almost all the big knex builders has stopped building machines for a few years. Most builders told me that it was a lack of time, which I completely understand. But anyway, thanks for your comment! :)

    I once had a similar idea of making a rotating ball machine, but I never got to build it. Anyway, I'm sure I could never have made it this clean, it's a stunning ball machine. Everyone should understand how challenging this build must have been, and I'm pretty sure you're one of the only, if not the only one, who could have made it this great. Amazing!

    leeroyU 15 There will be a separate video where I show what's underneath it. But you're right, the part that rotates rests on 24 large wheels. And the platform is being pulled by a chain that goes around it.
