Well that just made my day due to its "coolness" factor.

I love the way the balls wind their way through the machine as though they're connected in a chain.  It makes me wonder what other applications there would be for these little magnetic balls.

Interesting what the human mind can dream up. I made a contraption a few years ago while learning to weld (as evidenced by the crappy welds in the video  :thumbup:). The marbles are bigger and they aren't magnetic though.

Both are marvellous.  The magnetic marble machine must have a few $ worth of magnets in it - last time I checked they were not inexpensive.

Troutsqueezer - great set up - I like it.
