Cosa rende così attraente le piste per biglie? I bambini (e gli adulti!) possono guardare le biglie che scendono lungo una pista, passando attraverso vari ostacoli, per ore e ore. Le piste per biglie sono affascinanti, catturano la nostra attenzione, eppure sono anche rilassanti. Le corse e le biglie sono diventate un fenomeno inaspettato di YouTube, con migliaia di video che accumulano milioni di visualizzazioni. Scegli una biglia da guardare, per cui tifare, ti chiedi quale strada prenderà, ti metti al posto della biglia, immaginando di essere proprio lì con la palla di vetro, in un viaggio meraviglioso, sconosciuto, con colpi di scena e sorprese dietro ogni angolo. L’emozione è ancora più grande quando hai costruito tu stesso la pista. Ora non stai solo guardando passivamente un video, sei completamente immerso perché hai costruito una macchina meravigliosa con le tue mani.

Ecco la nostra pista, un’entusiasmante combinazione di arte e ingegneria. La Pista da biglie è sia una bellissima scultura cinetica che un intricato giocattolo che insegna mentre diverte. Questa pista per biglie in legno presenta un paranco a catena alimentato da una manovella e una serie di binari, ognuno con il proprio ostacolo e elemento unico e divertente. Ruota la maniglia in senso orario per mettere in movimento la pista e osserva come il paranco a catena in legno raccoglie e solleva le biglie, dove un interruttore a 3 vie le distribuisce su diversi binari. Una biglia si tuffa in uno scivolo; il successivo precipita lungo i vari stadi delle cascate, mentre altri tre vengono raccolti nell’accumulatore e poi rilasciati lungo uno dei tre brevi binari. Tutte le biglie passano attraverso il vassoio o raccoglitore comune prima di tornare al paranco a catena per essere sollevate nel loro prossimo viaggio.

La pista è modulare e può essere collegata ad altre (possono essere collegati 2 o 4 modelli, in coppia) utilizzando appositi connettori (inclusi). Attacca due piste insieme frontalmente o collegane quattro insieme, sia frontalmente che lateralmente, per un mini sistema di paranchi e percorsi.

La scultura a sfera rotante più alta del mondo, ha 22 metri, è la “Macchina dell’energia”, situata all’interno dell’Hong Kong Science Museum. Con la sua altezza, la nostra pista per biglie in legno Ugears potrebbe non essere la più grande, ma pensiamo che sia la più carina! . Quando le biglie entrano nell’interruttore a 3 vie, ciascuna biglia chiude una “porta” dietro di sé, consentendo alla biglia successiva di passare ulteriormente. La terza biglia, passando per l’ultimo foro, apre le porte tramite una leva.

La pista è composta da 400 componenti ed è classificata come livello “Medio” e ha un tempo di assemblaggio stimato di 7 ore. Mentre costruisci questa ingegnosa pista per biglie in legno, imparerai a conoscere l’azione e l’interazione degli ingranaggi di trasmissione e degli ingranaggi condotti nei gruppi di ingranaggi, l’azione delicata dei contrappesi e sarai incuriosito dalla meccanica dell’interruttore a 3 vie e dell’accumulatore mentre determinano il corso delle biglie.

Marble Run Chain Hoist – wooden 3D puzzle from Ugears

What is it about marble runs that makes them so compelling? Kids (and adults!) can watch marbles going down a track, passing through various obstacles, for hours on end. Marble runs are fascinating, they grab our attention, and yet they’re also relaxing. Marble runs and races have become an unexpected YouTube phenomenon, with thousands of videos racking up millions of views. You choose a marble to watch, to cheer for, you wonder which path it will take, you put yourself in the marble’s place, imagining that you are right there with the glass ball, going on a marvelous, unknown journey, with twists and turns and surprises around every corner. The thrill is even greater when you’ve built the marble run yourself. Now you’re not just passively watching a video, you’re fully invested because you built a wondrous machine with your own hands.

Presenting the Ugears Marble Run Chain Hoist—an exciting combination of art and engineering. 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. 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 or collector before returning to the chain hoist to be lifted on their next journey.

The Marble Run Chain Hoist is modular, and can be connected to other Marble Run Chain Hoists (2 or 4 models can be connected, in pairs) using special connectors (included). Attach two Marble Run Chain Hoists together frontally, or connect four together, both frontally and laterally, for a mini system of hoists and runs.

The world’s tallest rolling ball sculpture, at 72 feet, is the “Energy Machine,” located inside the Hong Kong Science Museum. At one foot tall our Ugears wooden marble run may not be the biggest, but we think it’s the cutest! Multiple elements are packed into a compact space in our DIY Marble Run Chain Hoist, keeping you guessing which path your favorite marble will take. 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.

Experience the satisfaction of building your own intriguing, 3D puzzle/kinetic sculpture/marble run with your own hands. Everything you need for this fun DIY project 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. The Marble Run Chain Hoist has 400 pieces, is rated “Medium” level, and has an estimated assembly time of 7 hours. 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 3-way switch and accumulator as they determine the marbles’ course.

You and your family will have hours of fun constructing this DIY kit together, without need of glue or special tools. Just snap the wooden pieces out of their laser pre-cut boards, then snap them together and watch your marble run take shape. Our high-quality precision laser-cut pieces are made from natural wood composites, have a wonderful smell, and fit together snugly. If you break a piece during the build, no problem! Ugears models each come with a few spare parts, and if it’s a unique piece that’s damaged or broken, just contact our customer service and we will gladly send you a replacement part free of charge! Free replacement parts—just part of Ugears’ commitment to customer service.

The fun doesn’t stop with the build. With static models the completed model often gets put on a high shelf collecting dust. Not so with Ugears! Once you finish building this DIY marble run the fun is just beginning! Watch the wooden puzzle come to life as you crank the hoist to send the marbles on their adventures. For anyone looking for a toy that will give more than 5 minutes of fun, a marble run is certain to capture the attention of any child (or adult!).

Looking for a unique gift for home or office? The Marble Run Chain Hoist is an engaging way to relax your mind before going back to the task at hand, whether that’s tidying your desk, sending out an email, or getting ready for your next zoom call. Everyone enjoys watching marbles pass through an intricate machine—it’s just part of human nature! Perhaps there are some children in your life who would be delighted to help build this model and watch the marbles loop-the-loop, trickle down a counterweighted cascade, or take any of several other paths as they work their way to the bottom. The Marble Run Chain Hoist is a fun, unique gift idea for just about anyone in your life—for birthdays, holidays, any occasion or no occasion.
