Knex Ionization Ball Machine Instructions
Intro: Knex Ionization Ball Machine Instructions
A semi-huge project. This ball machine is around five feet tall and has almost 5000 pieces. I designed a wheel gate to make sure only one ball occupies the bottom of the lift. Enjoy building this ball machine as much as I did creating it. This machine also uses the newer larger K'nex balls.

STEP 2: Base
A very small step!
STEP 3: Return Track, Wheel Lift and Wheel Gate
This is where the new gate system is built and installed.
STEP 4:
I managed to make a very long classic spiral lift by reinforcing it with more support. Take your time and build carefully.
STEP 5: Other Supports
One last step before the paths.
STEP 6: Path 1
Yay! Finally onto the paths!
STEP 7: Path 2- Double- Arm
This path uses a new ball arm I invented where the ball uses it twice.
STEP 8: Path 3- Torqued-Off Supernova
This path uses a combination of Torque and Supernova elements.
