This marble run rolling ball sculpture is 4'w x 3'h. There are three separate tracks. Marbles are 1 inch, and is lifted to the top with a helical lift. All track is made with 1/8" stainless steel, TIG welded. Watch the Loop d' loop at the start of the video.
Any size and complexity can be done.

Almost perpetual motion...just add a little electricity...and let gravity do the rest.
