      STARTING MY MARBLE MOVER

The fourth project is the marble mover. The task is to make a marble move for twenty seconds nonstop. The project can not be taller than eighteen inches and you have to build up from the cardboard. I started off with an incline plane made with the binder clips from our logbooks.The incline plane is secured by a piece of card board. I do not have much right now but I have plans for this project to be much better and unique.    

     FINISHED MARBLE MOVER

My finished marble mover was very complex. The materials consist of:

  • poster board

  • bindings

  • construction paper

  • X-Acto knife

  • Hot glue

My Final project starts with a binding on an down slope to gain speed. Then it drops into a ramp to slow it down. After that i built a track that leads to a pinball. after this there is more track that then leads to a spiral. To finish off it ends with a slow track that lead to a pit for the stop. My project had the marble move for a good 23 seconds. It took about five weeks to plan and build this contraption. Overall this was really fun to create and very unique.
