10000 marbles rolling on a giant marble run _ Part 1

World Record Attempt: "Highest amount of simultaneously running marbles on one marble run“

Ortwin Grüttner attempts to put up a new world record, trying to run as many marbles as possible on only one marble run.

The run measures 25 meters in length and has an approximate width of 50cm.

On February 27th, 2015, a total of 10.000 marbles (made of glass, measuring 15-17mm in diameter) were released on the run.

Record conditions: The 10.000st marble must be released before the first marble crosses the finishing line. The flow of marbles mustn’t come to a stop during the run.

Venue: Freizeitheim Ricklingen, Ricklinger Stadtweg 1, 30459 Hannover

Am I the only one who finds this calming and relaxing to watch the marbles do their thing on a big marble run?

[markcarey]

I am so pleased there are bonkers people who do this so I can enjoy it without having to do it myself.

Now I know what 10000 marbles look like. Awesome work. I like the little town with buildings, trees, and other structures.

Why are these so fascinating? Honestly, this one makes me think of what might happen during an apocalypse, if every marble were a citizen.

Looks like 10, 000 people during rush hour at a train station trying to go home. Really Cool!!

Department store in 1975: “Attention shoppers. The drawing for the 27” color television with remote control will be in five minutes at the front of the store. You must be present to win”.

Them germans ! Lol. Pretty accurate simulation of the running of the bulls. They should put one of these in Vegas, $10 for a random ball, who will win?

Very wonderful physics demonstration, and also beautiful. And I think that the children will talk about it for years. Much better than looking at things on YouTube. Oh, wait. That's what I am doing.

I honestly have not seen anything like this in my life, it's weird but enjoyable all in one, the marbles are like ants coming to get us and yes the sound reminds me of rain, amazing stuff.

This kept my kids amused for ages when they were toddlers. Haven't a clue why but they loved it.
