Engineering some ZEN

Automatic zen garden! My afternoon build from last Sunday. I don't know why I made this but its definitely relaxing to look at and play with haha.

Hey guys! I haven't been posting lately because I've been super busy working on bigger projects of outside of YouTube (check my Instagram). But I will make some new marble track videos soon! Stay tuned!

I'm Japanese, and we call this type of yards "karesansui(not alive mountains and livers)".
Originally karesansui doesn't change its own figure and makes visitors calm, but this moves slowly, and not only makes us calm but also tells us fragility of everything. And Above all, the fragility that everything will ends and be reborn is one of the most important themes in Zen.
I think this is perfect as Zen in 21st century.

The soft sound of the sand moving like that is almost like a waterfall. So chill.

[cobralyoner]

can you make an unreasonable fast and hectic one pls? xD

[StoneCoolds]

This literally represents life through generations, just going in circles replenishing what is going to be destroyed

[daffyduck]

Would be cool to have one that makes a full rotation every 12 hours so that you can tell the time

[mattakudesu]

Ah yes, the zen art known as "The Circle of Futility"

[Crux]

It’s wonderful and calming, and I suddenly realized it also can’t be hung up and still function. I need a team of physicists on this immediately

Monks: There are no short cuts to inner peace.

Aw yes! I was really hoping that the flat bar would smooth it over after the rake one passed. So satisfying 🙂

[Bicyclesbeware]

The best way I can describe this is uncomfortably satisfying

[spencersmotorworks]

Amazing little white noise machine and very satisfying to watch, thank you

[scottpitner]

I want this for the litter box like a zen turd garden

[SpooNFoy]

This has no business being so simple, yet so calming, yet so demonstrative of impermanence and futility, yet so inspirational. 10/10, would stare at for hours.

[culturebreath]

First time around I immediately closed my eyes to enjoy the sound.

[styxwessel]

This feels like a bastardization of a zen garden, but somehow comes full circle to be zen in its own way.

[americanalghoza]

This is so ironic that I can’t help but feel it’s actually a piece of conceptual art

[nitinb]

You can make the arm in S shape for true Zen look.

Oh, I like that. That is immensely satisfying. The sound, the visuals... I want one. 😅
