1 00:00:00,030 --> 00:00:04,650 welcome to another episode of intellect 2 00:00:01,890 --> 00:00:08,040 on Wednesdays and here it is business as 3 00:00:04,650 --> 00:00:10,219 usual as you can see I am trying out yet 4 00:00:08,040 --> 00:00:14,870 another lifting mechanism it's a 5 00:00:10,219 --> 00:00:14,870 comparable ratchet system combined 6 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:24,439 that's basically the slow more rolling 7 00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,200 [Music] 8 00:00:40,100 --> 00:00:44,190 in the last week's video I built a 9 00:00:42,420 --> 00:00:47,039 ratchet marble lifting system and in 10 00:00:44,190 --> 00:00:50,070 that video I said this instead I came up 11 00:00:47,039 --> 00:00:52,110 with this a ratchet lifting system this 12 00:00:50,070 --> 00:00:55,860 system really had the ability to lift 13 00:00:52,110 --> 00:00:58,109 eight marbles per crank turn that was 14 00:00:55,860 --> 00:01:00,390 all wrong that ratchet system and the 15 00:00:58,109 --> 00:01:02,399 way it's driven only lifts for marbles 16 00:01:00,390 --> 00:01:03,870 per crank turn and in this episode I'm 17 00:01:02,399 --> 00:01:06,360 going to replace it with something 18 00:01:03,870 --> 00:01:08,030 better than a mouthful to explain why we 19 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:12,790 need eight 20 00:01:08,030 --> 00:01:23,260 [Music] 21 00:01:12,790 --> 00:01:25,300 I thought I start with explaining why we 22 00:01:23,260 --> 00:01:27,790 need to lift eight marbles per crank 23 00:01:25,300 --> 00:01:32,400 turn you remember this test music I made 24 00:01:27,790 --> 00:01:32,400 to explain the magnet MIDI music system 25 00:01:33,030 --> 00:01:42,880 just to repeat every click here is one 26 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:44,440 crank turn turn turn turn turn right so 27 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:49,120 if we have a busy pattern on the 28 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:52,570 vibraphone like this you can already see 29 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:56,290 that we have one two three four notes 30 00:01:52,570 --> 00:02:01,840 that means that we need four marbles per 31 00:01:56,290 --> 00:02:03,550 crank turn to only to play this but the 32 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:06,430 more machine X has more instruments in 33 00:02:03,550 --> 00:02:17,680 the vibraphone so if we add a simple 34 00:02:06,430 --> 00:02:20,620 snare of be like that we're up to nine 35 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:23,180 marbles per to crank turns if so and if 36 00:02:20,620 --> 00:02:32,349 we then continue add a simple kick drum 37 00:02:23,180 --> 00:02:46,060 [Music] 38 00:02:32,349 --> 00:02:48,700 and then we add Hyatt on top of that you 39 00:02:46,060 --> 00:03:01,000 start to see here now seven marbles 40 00:02:48,700 --> 00:03:02,919 product seven six seven but this pattern 41 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:21,819 is really simple if you make more 42 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:24,189 complicated kick drum pattern you see 43 00:03:21,819 --> 00:03:26,459 we're already up to eight marbles per 44 00:03:24,189 --> 00:03:26,459 factor 45 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:47,740 so this is drums and bar before girls 46 00:03:36,190 --> 00:03:50,950 have to face so with a very busy 47 00:03:47,740 --> 00:03:53,170 vibraphone pattern we exceed eight 48 00:03:50,950 --> 00:03:56,650 marbles per crank John here we have four 49 00:03:53,170 --> 00:03:59,950 seven and eleven marbles per crank turn 50 00:03:56,650 --> 00:04:02,080 so the marble machine would we'll be 51 00:03:59,950 --> 00:04:04,180 able to play this for some time because 52 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:06,100 it has a lot of marbles stored upstairs 53 00:04:04,180 --> 00:04:08,980 but it won't be able to sustain it for 54 00:04:06,100 --> 00:04:10,720 five minutes when I make a really busy 55 00:04:08,980 --> 00:04:14,550 vibraphone pattern I need to keep the 56 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:14,550 drum pattern a little bit less busy 57 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:24,709 [Music] 58 00:04:27,470 --> 00:04:36,730 [Music] 59 00:04:38,920 --> 00:05:34,940 yes coffee what would we do without 60 00:04:45,110 --> 00:05:37,340 coffee so as you can see if we only had 61 00:05:34,940 --> 00:05:41,960 four marbles for a crank time we would 62 00:05:37,340 --> 00:05:50,900 only be able to play either only this or 63 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:53,720 like only this or only this but if we 64 00:05:50,900 --> 00:05:55,640 can get eight marbles per crank turn we 65 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:58,150 will be able to play almost something 66 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,150 like this 67 00:06:00,909 --> 00:06:07,699 so that's why it's so important okay 68 00:06:04,719 --> 00:06:09,800 let's do some prototyping to solve this 69 00:06:07,699 --> 00:06:12,050 problem I started with some spring 70 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:15,590 cleaning on my workshop and I built a 71 00:06:12,050 --> 00:06:17,750 weld card slash Robo wars contestant the 72 00:06:15,590 --> 00:06:19,610 draw for a sardar thought was a little 73 00:06:17,750 --> 00:06:22,090 bit tough his meeting this old tony's 74 00:06:19,610 --> 00:06:24,110 welding art in round one so we'll see 75 00:06:22,090 --> 00:06:27,289 what i have to measure with this 76 00:06:24,110 --> 00:06:28,849 prototype is the time for the marbles 77 00:06:27,289 --> 00:06:31,900 needs going there because this will move 78 00:06:28,849 --> 00:06:31,900 extremely fast 79 00:06:38,630 --> 00:06:43,990 [Music] 80 00:06:46,420 --> 00:06:49,639 [Music] 81 00:06:51,960 --> 00:07:01,430 [Music] 82 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:10,440 [Music] 83 00:07:12,910 --> 00:07:18,670 so this is the improved prototype with 84 00:07:15,740 --> 00:07:21,350 some changes and see if we can get up to 85 00:07:18,670 --> 00:07:23,450 marble speed with that I have a slow-mo 86 00:07:21,350 --> 00:07:28,670 camera set up the only thing I need now 87 00:07:23,450 --> 00:07:36,910 is the marbles so let's go over here and 88 00:07:28,670 --> 00:07:41,330 look and of course the one box I need is 89 00:07:36,910 --> 00:07:44,630 guarded by a demon I love animal but 90 00:07:41,330 --> 00:07:46,900 these long leg things have to convince 91 00:07:44,630 --> 00:07:50,930 it that this is the wrong box to sit on 92 00:07:46,900 --> 00:07:57,520 hello my friend can I please take my 93 00:07:50,930 --> 00:07:57,520 marble whoa okay he went that good 94 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:26,760 [Music] 95 00:08:24,219 --> 00:08:46,629 this one up 96 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:46,629 [Music] 97 00:08:54,040 --> 00:09:04,430 17 divided on 25 0.68 four strokes 98 00:09:00,009 --> 00:09:06,709 divided on 0.68 seconds equals five 99 00:09:04,430 --> 00:09:13,130 point eight miles per second times 16 100 00:09:06,709 --> 00:09:18,170 this was 352 BPM actually that's a nice 101 00:09:13,130 --> 00:09:20,449 Headroom yay this proves that the 102 00:09:18,170 --> 00:09:22,610 marbles loads fast enough in this method 103 00:09:20,449 --> 00:09:25,189 for playing music up to 200 bpm 104 00:09:22,610 --> 00:09:27,829 and in the prototype I'm using one row 105 00:09:25,189 --> 00:09:30,769 of marbles but in the real version we 106 00:09:27,829 --> 00:09:34,430 have eight marbles so now I need a way 107 00:09:30,769 --> 00:09:36,620 to divide all the marbles onto eight so 108 00:09:34,430 --> 00:09:39,230 if you remember week added a divided by 109 00:09:36,620 --> 00:09:41,029 eight swing to be asked me the branch 110 00:09:39,230 --> 00:09:44,290 from Gothenburg has sent me in the first 111 00:09:41,029 --> 00:09:47,420 3d print of that one and Here I am 112 00:09:44,290 --> 00:09:51,199 adjusting the weight not on the backside 113 00:09:47,420 --> 00:09:54,350 to really make the swing tip exactly 114 00:09:51,199 --> 00:09:56,600 when it has eight marbles on it I tapped 115 00:09:54,350 --> 00:09:59,810 and made hole in the plastic and I used 116 00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:02,420 this lock nut to lock both in to place 117 00:09:59,810 --> 00:10:04,970 and this really worked well you can 118 00:10:02,420 --> 00:10:07,730 adjust this with very high precision to 119 00:10:04,970 --> 00:10:09,860 fall exactly when when I wanted to fall 120 00:10:07,730 --> 00:10:12,769 but I realized that this swing is too 121 00:10:09,860 --> 00:10:14,839 slow because the conveyor belt can lift 122 00:10:12,769 --> 00:10:17,480 eight eight eight eight eight eight 123 00:10:14,839 --> 00:10:20,959 eight marbles fast like that and the 124 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:23,600 swing can't handle that high marble 125 00:10:20,959 --> 00:10:26,990 pressure so I needed another way to 126 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:28,699 divide by eight so I've been toting 127 00:10:26,990 --> 00:10:31,160 another system I've been trying this 128 00:10:28,699 --> 00:10:35,990 I've been trying duck when I come up 129 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:38,149 with is this to divide one single roll 130 00:10:35,990 --> 00:10:40,220 onto eight just before the conveyor 131 00:10:38,149 --> 00:10:47,850 about 132 00:10:40,220 --> 00:10:54,120 this seems to be very reliable so if I 133 00:10:47,850 --> 00:10:56,010 know these marvels the marbles come into 134 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:58,710 the ring gear from the planetary gearset 135 00:10:56,010 --> 00:11:02,580 the blue line there and they come in 136 00:10:58,710 --> 00:11:05,970 this new exit thing here that has quite 137 00:11:02,580 --> 00:11:08,910 complicated geometry but I think this 138 00:11:05,970 --> 00:11:12,450 will work great it attaches to the 139 00:11:08,910 --> 00:11:15,710 mainframe here as you can see I added 140 00:11:12,450 --> 00:11:18,240 some texts this 3d printed part here 141 00:11:15,710 --> 00:11:24,450 just for fun 142 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:27,060 the marbles come in this thing they get 143 00:11:24,450 --> 00:11:30,150 split up onto the four channels like I 144 00:11:27,060 --> 00:11:32,370 talked about last week over the big 145 00:11:30,150 --> 00:11:35,630 demagnetizing wheel the magnets are not 146 00:11:32,370 --> 00:11:38,130 gonna be colored it's just for symbolism 147 00:11:35,630 --> 00:11:40,290 the marbles done I'm not really done 148 00:11:38,130 --> 00:11:43,110 with this is it sketches the marbles 149 00:11:40,290 --> 00:11:46,710 done gets collected into one row by this 150 00:11:43,110 --> 00:11:49,860 loft command I used to create this shape 151 00:11:46,710 --> 00:11:52,050 here and then they go into this and this 152 00:11:49,860 --> 00:11:53,520 is one of the most complicated things 153 00:11:52,050 --> 00:11:56,640 that I've ever carried because the 154 00:11:53,520 --> 00:12:01,890 geometries on these eight slopes are all 155 00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:04,860 individual so they have 5 degrees slope 156 00:12:01,890 --> 00:12:07,230 seen from this direction but they also 157 00:12:04,860 --> 00:12:09,780 have a 5 degree slope seen from this 158 00:12:07,230 --> 00:12:11,790 direction they're all individual from 159 00:12:09,780 --> 00:12:14,510 the start and need to end up at the same 160 00:12:11,790 --> 00:12:18,300 spot in the end so that was a little bit 161 00:12:14,510 --> 00:12:20,010 complicated this works exactly like the 162 00:12:18,300 --> 00:12:22,800 marble divider the channels that are 163 00:12:20,010 --> 00:12:25,530 full we'll skip the marbles and the 164 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:29,760 models will roll into the empty channels 165 00:12:25,530 --> 00:12:33,480 and then they will be lifted up by this 166 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:37,830 the conveyor belt system and the cool 167 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:41,370 thing is so I found this inspiration 168 00:12:37,830 --> 00:12:44,070 from a YouTube video for like some kind 169 00:12:41,370 --> 00:12:47,160 of industrial solutions for nuclear 170 00:12:44,070 --> 00:12:50,970 plants and recycling stations where the 171 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:53,860 uses chain links and was actually seeing 172 00:12:50,970 --> 00:12:56,019 that video that got me into understand 173 00:12:53,860 --> 00:12:58,600 how I can build a marble conveyor belt 174 00:12:56,019 --> 00:13:04,510 that is efficient and looks good 175 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:09,190 so each chute that holds the marbles has 176 00:13:04,510 --> 00:13:12,310 a gear tooth shape so up here they turn 177 00:13:09,190 --> 00:13:13,720 into a gear drive and the chain links is 178 00:13:12,310 --> 00:13:18,610 also fitting in here 179 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:20,769 between the gear as you can see here and 180 00:13:18,610 --> 00:13:23,589 the cool thing is that this conveyor 181 00:13:20,769 --> 00:13:26,560 belt is not driven by these gears it's 182 00:13:23,589 --> 00:13:29,890 not driven by a rotating mechanism this 183 00:13:26,560 --> 00:13:32,200 conveyor belt is driven by the two 184 00:13:29,890 --> 00:13:36,850 Pistons these two Pistons will move up 185 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:38,380 and down with 40 millimeters travel so 186 00:13:36,850 --> 00:13:41,350 just just you can see here the right 187 00:13:38,380 --> 00:13:44,620 piston here is connected to half of the 188 00:13:41,350 --> 00:13:47,769 fish stair steps and the left piston is 189 00:13:44,620 --> 00:13:51,670 connected to the other half and I also 190 00:13:47,769 --> 00:13:55,269 implemented spring tension mechanism 191 00:13:51,670 --> 00:13:59,079 here to help the Pistons fight gravity a 192 00:13:55,269 --> 00:14:00,820 little bit and on this side we're going 193 00:13:59,079 --> 00:14:03,399 to have ratchets they are not sketched 194 00:14:00,820 --> 00:14:05,890 in this design yet but they are coming 195 00:14:03,399 --> 00:14:08,560 out to the left side here and they will 196 00:14:05,890 --> 00:14:10,990 go inside this conveyor belt here and 197 00:14:08,560 --> 00:14:13,829 the ratchet will lift the tooth 198 00:14:10,990 --> 00:14:16,810 themselves every chute will 199 00:14:13,829 --> 00:14:18,640 what-what-what-what so there's there are 200 00:14:16,810 --> 00:14:21,459 several things that is very very good 201 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:23,199 with this design we're losing very 202 00:14:21,459 --> 00:14:25,709 little height if we look at it straight 203 00:14:23,199 --> 00:14:27,970 from the side like this let me put on 204 00:14:25,709 --> 00:14:29,769 orthographic and another perspective and 205 00:14:27,970 --> 00:14:34,149 then we have a really flat view like 206 00:14:29,769 --> 00:14:36,370 this so you can see that this is the top 207 00:14:34,149 --> 00:14:38,470 of the marbles and down here where they 208 00:14:36,370 --> 00:14:40,449 picked up is just five centimeters or 209 00:14:38,470 --> 00:14:42,390 something and then we done a lot with 210 00:14:40,449 --> 00:14:45,190 five centimeter fall height we 211 00:14:42,390 --> 00:14:47,529 demagnetize the marbles and we routed 212 00:14:45,190 --> 00:14:49,390 them around and back and if we look from 213 00:14:47,529 --> 00:14:50,779 the front of the machine 214 00:14:49,390 --> 00:14:54,930 [Music] 215 00:14:50,779 --> 00:14:57,720 we are actually not going out that far 216 00:14:54,930 --> 00:15:00,690 to the left with this design this 217 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:02,880 conveyor belt reminds me of this snake 218 00:15:00,690 --> 00:15:05,339 rattle and roll game which I loved when 219 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:08,310 you climb the waterfall you know in the 220 00:15:05,339 --> 00:15:10,260 like world seven super-difficult the 221 00:15:08,310 --> 00:15:13,769 marbles are like climbing the snake 222 00:15:10,260 --> 00:15:16,230 rattle and roll system so when these 223 00:15:13,769 --> 00:15:19,529 marble shuttles reaches the top it will 224 00:15:16,230 --> 00:15:21,810 tip over then the marbles will then roll 225 00:15:19,529 --> 00:15:24,930 on the backside on the chute that was 226 00:15:21,810 --> 00:15:27,810 before them if you see the structure 227 00:15:24,930 --> 00:15:30,810 here is that the marbles will start to 228 00:15:27,810 --> 00:15:33,750 roll on this surface so to speak it's 229 00:15:30,810 --> 00:15:35,670 right under the marbles on this one so 230 00:15:33,750 --> 00:15:38,910 they will roll on the swing that was 231 00:15:35,670 --> 00:15:43,079 before them and roll off into some 232 00:15:38,910 --> 00:15:47,100 tracks that I did not design yet so so 233 00:15:43,079 --> 00:15:48,839 that's the idea right now I think this 234 00:15:47,100 --> 00:15:52,560 is very viable because I've done a lot 235 00:15:48,839 --> 00:15:54,899 of prototyping to get to this point so 236 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:56,940 when I built the first machine I only 237 00:15:54,899 --> 00:15:58,770 made videos when I was done with parts 238 00:15:56,940 --> 00:16:00,870 and I was regretting off towards that I 239 00:15:58,770 --> 00:16:04,290 didn't show all mistakes and all the 240 00:16:00,870 --> 00:16:06,390 change designs and stuff and the way I'm 241 00:16:04,290 --> 00:16:09,000 making the videos now update every week 242 00:16:06,390 --> 00:16:12,000 you really get to follow how I go into 243 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:14,550 the dance and how I try to dig myself 244 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:16,860 out of them thanks so much for watching 245 00:16:14,550 --> 00:16:18,260 I'm editing these videos nowadays a 246 00:16:16,860 --> 00:16:21,930 little bit with shoot-from-the-hip 247 00:16:18,260 --> 00:16:24,209 attitude I hope you like it I hope 248 00:16:21,930 --> 00:16:25,770 they're some kind of creation have a 249 00:16:24,209 --> 00:16:27,250 great day everyone and see you on the 250 00:16:25,770 --> 00:16:31,659 next main - got that Wednesday 251 00:16:27,250 --> 00:16:31,659 [Music]
