Tree Marble Run: conifer tree shaped kinetic marble toy cleverly constructed from a single piece of bent rod. Gravity translates to kinetic energy of rotation which carries the marble to the extremity of each branch before it reverses to descend to the next level. An aesthetically simple device that is more challenging to construct than one might think.

Toy Themed Rolling Marble Sculpture: marbles perform gymnastics as potential energy of gravity is converted to kinetic energy. This festive FAO Schwarz branded marble run features two powered conveyers including an Archimedean screw inside the toy rocket (one AAA battery and a small motor for each). Found and repaired this one from a local thrift store. ➡️ Follow the link in my profile for info on where to get rolling marble toys and other amazing items featured here on @physicsfun #physicstoy #
