Night 11 – Marble Run Sets from Cuboru

November 21, 2010 by  

This evening we would like to introduce you to the world of the Rolling Ball Machine, and in particular the all-encompassing website, www.kugelbahn.ch (which also includes Falk Keuten’s informative Kugelbahn blog)

The Rolling Ball Machine is a close relative of automata and kinetic sculpture, and the machines have much of the same appeal. There are some incredible artist built machines to discover. Check out Mark Bischof’s Makromos, or The Superplexus Vortex.

If you want to have a go at making a rolling ball sculpture yourself visit Mark Gough’s site, which shows you just how he makes his machines.
There are also a whole range of marble run toys to choose from. The Swiss company Cuboro make a beautiful wooden set, which has endless possibilities. Visit their website and download an online version to construct your own virtual marble run.
