Thanks! I try to attract more active members to this forum!

For you also welcome! Here's my newest video:

Yes, i was called by BBC some days ago! They gave me a huge amount of extra views and subs!

This is mesmerizing! \

I get now this error while i try to start a new topic with an embedded video: (in subforum Marble Runs and Marble Games) I use this topic because i'm not able to start any new topics... Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in /home1/marbleco/public_html/system/Poll/Poll.php on line 479

I know a source where you can get real glass glowing marbles, i got around 10 of them and gives a bluish glow, it's not uranium and it really glows in the dark (not only by UV light). This is the only source i know to get glass glowing marbles, but the roundness isn't very good. There are also some marble run construction sets who include some plastic glowing marbles. Does someone know more sources to get real glass glowing marbles (5/8 ")?

Part 6 is out!

Here's the finals of the world cup marble race 2016:

Now with commentary! \

I'm finally back, i was on holiday some weeks. On my channel, i see that marble races doing very good in attracting large numbers of viewers. Long roller coasters are also nice, but most viewers prefers marble races

Thx! I'm also planning to start a own museum or exposition with marble runs (like the MAD museum Stratford upon Avon, UK) within some years (or sooner if i'm lucky). This museum will be filled with marble runs and other similar contraptions, of course i will then ask "Murmiland" to make something for my museum.

Here;s a video of the completed project, (sorry, i'm forgotten to post it) It has around 14,000 tiny marbles. \

Thanks, I don't make calculations, but i test different types of marbles and look what happen/

I meeted Ortwin Grüttner, a german marble run builder who has lots of fantastic works, for me an very large source of inspiration to make even more complex marble runs. See this video with his stunning works:

I've made a small experiment with jumping and bouncing marbles that will meet each other in the air: \

I'm also thinking to do a underwater marble run, thanks for reminder it. But i haven't very much room now, so when i purchase a large fish tank, i get trouble to store it. I'm also thinking to start a own museum, i try to find a manager or using crowdfunding to operate the museum and then i can make a large number of unique projects and promote it via youtube and real visitors. Short videos gives me a large number of views but drains the average watchtime per view. If i have a longer video from 4 minutes with a good watcher loyalty of 2:30 minutes per view is better than a short one minute video with only 40 seconds per view.

Thx, Are there things what i must NOT do?

Another thing: Which things should i do (or not to do) to keep my channel going? - 20,000 marbles project (i need to arrange a large room and lots of money to purchase the marbles and material) - Very long marble race (i need only spent one day to travel to a steep sand hill on a dune) - A simple track with some stunts (i can stay home and won't need to spent any money) - A Marble City like track with a large number of paths and some nice track elements (i need lots of time to make a good track) - A Star Wars themed marble run (i need lots of time and searching star wars merchandise items, but also taking a risk being striked by youtube and damaging my channel.) - More Modular Marble Run videos (i need to make more elements using a CNC routing machine) - Removing weak videos (i mean videos with less than 5000 views) - Reuploading old videos

Another thing (sorry for the double post), feel free to repost your video in the marble run subforum.

Thanks for your comments, i'm also thinking to do some theming. My idea is to make a Star Wars Marble Run, but the risk of getting copyright strikes is very high, a copyright strike will do heavy damage in the reputation of my channel causing a drop in views count and then the competitors will push me down. If succesful, a star wars marble run can attrack high numbers of views, then i need to contact the makers of Star Wars about copyright. Another risk is that i'm spent hundreds of hours with building a themed marble run, and then getting a bad video only attracting several hundreds of views and lose the competition. (sometimes youtube also sucks with this: I make a very complex marble run, i record it with a HD camcorder, but only some thousands of views. A competitor purchases a simple toy marble run in a budget store, makes a video with a cheap smartphone and gets millions of views, why does it happen???) I also do some marble races to attract more viewers and hoping to push away that algodoo stuff.

Large in all (size, marbles, height)

Hello everyone, Also a happy new year! I'm also plan some large marble runs this year. But the question is: Do you have any ideas for me? I ask it to keep my youtube channel up against the competition.

Also done, now hoping that he will be active and posting some extra content.

Hello, I have sometimes the same problem in my marble runs (2 or more marbles that blocks a hole or path), it's quite difficult to solve it. In my marble runs, i make wide paths (wide enough to fit 2 or more marbles in with) to lower the chance of jamming. Where is it intended for?
