Marble Run Chain Hoist

The Marble Run Chain Hoist is a wooden kinetic sculpture from UGEARS that is as much fun to build as it is to watch. Turn the handle clockwise and a wooden chain hoist collects the marbles and lifts them to the top, where a 3-way switch sends them onto different tracks, including a chute that ends in a loop-the-loop.
