The chain hoist collects and lifts the marbles to the top of the machine, where a 3-way switch distributes them on different tracks. One marble plunges down a chute with a loop-the-loop at the bottom; the next tumbles down the various stages of the cascades, while three others are collected in the accumulator then released down one of three short tracks. All marbles pass through the common tray before returning to the chain hoist to be lifted on their next journey.
As marbles enter the 3-way switch each marble closes a "door" behind it, allowing the next marble to pass further. The third marble, passing through the last hole, opens the doors using a lever. As you build this ingenious wooden marble run, you will learn about the action and interplay of drive gears and driven gears in gear sets, the delicate action of counterweights, and be intrigued by the mechanics of the switch and accumulator as they determine the marbles' course.
The Marble Run Chain Hoist has 400 pieces, is rated "Medium" level, and has an estimated assembly time of 7 hours. Everything you need comes right in the box, including pre-cut wooden boards, 10 marbles, wax and sandpaper (for optimal gear function). Each Ugears model kit, 3D puzzle, or brain teaser comes with a set of detailed, illustrated instructions in 11 languages (English, German, French, Polish, Spanish, Ukrainian, Russian, Italian, Japanese, Chinese and Korean).
The Marble Run Chain Hoist is both a beautiful kinetic sculpture and an intricate toy that
teaches as it entertains. This DIY wooden marble run features a chain hoist powered by a hand crank, and a series of
tracks, each with its own unique and fun obstacle or element.
Turn the handle clockwise to set the machine in
motion, and watch as the wooden chain hoist collects and lifts the marbles to the top of the machine, where a 3-way
switch distributes them on different tracks.
