Labyrinth - K'nex ball machine


Click here to see Blue Fox, my latest ball machine! www.youtube.com This is The Labyrinth, my third major ball machine and the single largest K'nex structure I have built to date. This ball machine features 4 motorized lift towers spread across my room which split off into 19 different paths. To build this project, I spent over $150 to purchase literally over 9000 new k'nex pieces, allowing me to build this 25000 piece superstructure. Despite its massive size, The Labyrinth only takes up 2.5 square feet of floor space. This machine was designed by Austin Granger and Paul Davis, and was built by Austin Granger, Paul Davis, Sam Ihlenfeldt and Simon Olson. Info: Build time - 2 Months, 2 Days Pieces - About 25000 Paths - 19 Switches - 13 Length - 261 ft Number of supporting towers - 8 Number of bridges - 19 Number of unique elements - 27 Max number of balls - 30 Number of chain lift hooks - 23 Number of lifts - 4 Number of motors - 4 Number of light bulbs - 300 To see how The Labyrinth was constructed and to follow the design and construction of my new K'nex projects, head over to knexdesigns.blogspot.com

K'nex in the apartment 2009


-* Music had to be replaced sorry you do not get to enjoy the original sound track*- This tower stands at 8 feet tall, 7 feet long and 2 feet wide. There are 10 unique paths down. 3 paths are connected to other paths so that element does not execute until another ball arrives. The highlight of the tower is the spinning orb in the middle of the tower which allows for three different random paths. My favorite path has to be the spinner in the middle the spins to one side of the tower to the other. A chain lift was used in place of a new lift I been working on due to time restrictions. Hope you enjoy!

K'nex Continuously Variable Automatic Transmission


This is my first successful attempt at creating an automatic transmission with K'nex. This transmission automatically switches between a continuous range of gear ratios from 1:1 to 1:6. The transmission uses two differential gear boxes connected to a low and high gear ratio. The distribution of torque through the gearboxes, determined by the resistance in the output shaft, determines how the power is distributed between the low and high ratios. The transmission is capable of taking a heavy object and gradually accelerating it to a very high speed, which would snap the tan locking connectors if a direct connection was used. This transmission took one week to design and build and contains about 2500 pieces and 31 K'nex gears. No non-k'nex pieces were used, aside from lubrication for the gears and axles. If you want a better view of the interior of the transmission, here is an early prototype. knexdesigns.blogspot.com

While it may seem that this year's K'nex tower is smaller than last year's, it actually uses about the same amount of parts. I have only four of the blue beams left. Hopefully I can get some more parts for next time to build a larger and more intense tower. Hope you enjoy.

World's Largest K'nex Roller Coaster Loop (with POV)


This is the largest K'nex roller coaster loop ever constructed. The loop stands 12 feet tall and uses over 9000 pieces. The train is launched by a chain of 20 rubber bands at 40 miles per hour. The loop itself contains nearly 40 feet of track, and there are 100 feet of track in the entire roller coaster. This roller coaster was built in 10 days by Austin Granger and Sam Ihlenfeldt. Video filmed and edited by Austin Granger and Kevin Walker (www.KevinCWalker.com) Information Built time - 10 days Pieces - 10000 Track length - 100 feet Max Speed - 40 MPH Loop Diameter - 12 feet Power Source - Rubber Band Launch -Frequently Asked Questions- Q. Why is the loop perfectly round and not shaped like a normal loop? A. The ratios of the K'nex pieces do not allow for the subtle changes in curvature needed to produce the "classic" loop shape. Q. How did you get the smooth slow-motion footage? A. The camera we used is the Casio Exilim EX-FC100 which shoots high-speed video at up to 1000 frames per second. Q. Why does the track move so much during the launch? A. Two reasons. One, that section of track was not anchored to the ground like the rest. Two, that deflection is invisible to the naked eye, but when filmed at 1000 frames per second (slowed down 33 times) it is extremely obvious. Q. How did you get the POV shot? A. I attached an old point-and-shoot camera to the train with 3 cable-ties. During that shot I broke 2 of my roller coaster cars. Q. What do you do during bad weather? A <b>...</b>

Minebuster K'nex Roller Coaster


This is my k'nex coaster that resembles the style produced by real life manufacturer/designer B&M. Lots of time and effort have gone into it. Enjoy! To answer some of the more common questions I will prepare their answers below. Please read first before you ask again! 1.) How long did it take? It took me about 6 months to finish the model, but most of the time I was not working on it. I had a big pause due to lack of green track ties and sometimes other work came up with higher priority. Most of the work was done in the first 2 and last 2 weeks. 2.) How many sets did you use? At the time I had about 6-7 SS/RR sets and a lot of extra parts ordered from eBay and the K'nex website. I also had some smaller sets and an intermediate box of parts. Most of the pieces were used in building Minebuster. 3.) How can I build this/Where are instructions? There are no instructions to this model, I built it custom as I went along. I had an idea in mind of what elements I wanted to include, then designed to meet my floor space while still trying to maintain the realism. 4.) How much did it cost? All of the pieces I bought in sets or individually are worth at least $2000. 5.) What is the brake? The brake is nothing more than a little friction pad that sticks out of the track ties. It consists of 2 parallel rails of green & half moon connectors with their smooth sides up. When the train comes, the underside rubs the surface and slows down with friction. 5.) No inclined loop (sit-down <b>...</b>

Railgun - The World's Fastest K'nex Roller Coaster


This is, without a doubt, the fastest K'nex roller coaster ever built. Using rocket engines, The Railgun can achieve speeds of over 120 miles per hour! This video shows the evolution and modification of The Railgun. All the tests shown are in chronological order. This rollercoaster was built over the course of 3 days by Austin Granger, Paul Davis and Sam Ihlenfeldt. The track measures 40 feet long and uses no non-k'nex pieces (except the rocket engine). Speeds were computed by using the solar lights next to the track as foot-markers and going through the video frame-by-frame. I know I will probably run into some people saying this is not really a Roller Coaster, just a straight track. For these people, I can at least claim that this is the fastest speed a K'nex car has ever traveled down a K'nex track.

29 Foot Tall Launched K'nex Roller Coaster!


This is the tallest outdoor, freestanding K'nex roller coaster in the world! It's modelled after Kingda Ka and Top Thrill Dragster. It stands at 28 feet, 8 inches tall. It uses a 15, seven inch long rubber bands to launch the car up to the top. This project took about a month of planning and building and used about 20000-30000 pieces. The total length of the track is around 100-110 feet long. It was built inside my house in small sections, and then once completed, moved outside and completely assembled in approximately 6 hours. I only used a 6 foot step ladder to assemble it. A 20 foot triangular shaped tower was assembled horizontally on the ground and then carefully tipped up vertically with the help of some small cables. Then the tower was gently lifted 3 feet at a time (with help of course) and new 3 foot sections were connected to the bottom until it reached 28 feet, 8 inches high. The tower was getting real heavy by the time the last section was added. Some K'nex pieces began to snap under the weight, so it was necessary to substitute a large number of black carbon K'nex rods (expensive) at the bottom of the tower. After the video was shot, the whole thing was taken down just as the sun was setting. It was a sunny day with no rain. There were a few small gusts of wind in the afternoon which caused the tower to sway a bit, but not too badly. While taking it down, some K'nex pieces broke and the whole thing toppled sideways over our cedar hedge into the neighbours <b>...</b>

A working chime train of gears all in knex with working tube bells!! Designed to be operated by a knex clock, it can start and stop itself automatically! Took about three days to perfect, it uses my usual stop mechanism that works very well now as you can see! It took over two hours to get that mechanism into the case. I got the chimes as a birthday present this year, so I put them to good use, although nobody was happy when I started cutting the tubes off the wind chime frame! I found the chimes, which are tuned to Westminster chime at Woodstock Percussion, Inc. I found the chimes on their website www.chimes.com , the chime set is known as the, "Baby Ben Chime". It is tuned perfectly, and they sound wonderful, so if anyone is interested in buying a set, the above address is where they can be found. Hope you all enjoy the sweet sounds, and thanks for watching!

The K'nuter - K'NEX Computer


This is one component of a simple mechanical computer--a full adder--comprised entirely of K'NEX parts and no electronic components. A memory bank as well as an instruction decoder, a program counter, and other key computer components is soon to follow, provided that I can get my hands on some more parts (and a larger space to house the machine). ---------- I have received a tremendous response from many viewers, and I just want to say thank you for everyone's comments. This project is very important to me as it is part of a long-term personal goal to create a macroscopic realization of the some of the intricacies that comprise a modern computer. My hope is that in doing so, I can not only satisfy my own interests but also spark an interest in many young people by providing an understanding of what's actually going on inside these devices we use every day. If you are interested in seeing more, you can do your part by spreading the word. As simple as it sounds, even just telling your friends about the project can be a huge help: you never know when the right person is going to hear about it and lend a helping hand. As of now, I have detailed plans for an entire simple CPU capable of running an 8-bit instruction set (not unlike some of the first microprocessors). This will take a LOT of time, but it is a goal that is completely realizable with the right amount of help. I very much want this to be an open-source project because I know that closed-door operations often suffer <b>...</b>

K'nex Coaster - Rorschach


New video with a little better editing. My 14th k'nex coaster. Rorschach is my tallest and longest coaster, measuring at 6' 2" tall and over 15 feet from end to end. I had the challenge of having to build around our ping pong table, and it wouldn't fit in one room, so I built into the back storage room. The reason it looks like a top hat is because it was originally going to be launched, but the launch didn't work, so I converted it into a lift. Enjoy! Comment, rate, and subscribe! Special thanks to the few people who commented on SSC! www.sscoasters.net This, like all my coasters, is a custom design, there is no set, blueprints or directions on how to build it. So if you say something like "I built this," then it makes you look like a retard.

Knex Ball Tower - Subatomic Paraball 2


This is an updated version of the original Subatomic Paraball K'nex ball machine. This new version is bigger, faster, longer, more reliable and all around cooler. The Knex balls race through over 110 feet of track divided into 5 different paths (one of which completely circles my room). Subatomic Paraball 2 contains over 12000 pieces, many interesting elements, uses no non-K'nex parts and is completely freestanding. Statistics: Build time - 2 weeks Height - 7 ft Length - 110.5 ft Number of supporting towers - 10 Number of bridges - 21 Number of paths - 5 Number of pieces - about 12000 Number of unique elements - 18 Max number of balls - 9 Number of chain lift hooks - 6 Number of lifts - 1 To see more of my K'nex projects, and to follow the design and construction of new ones check out knexdesigns.blogspot.com

K'NEX Extreme View Video Coaster - With POV


This set is pretty good. It comes with a decent amount of the new curved VV track and the green POV coaster car. For micro builders, the only downside is that the whole set is made of standard pieces and transition connectors (with the exception of some micro connectors). The video car takes OK video quality, but it has no sound. I also slowed the POV down half speed. I would recommend this set to any K'NEX roller coaster builder.
