| "California
Dreamin " by Bruce Gray (81x50x32) is a motorized kinetic ball machine
sculpture with 2 steel balls that get lifted by a drive chain conveyor system.
The balls have 3 tracks to follow that are changed each time by 2 switches,
or as I like to call them "gravity operated, magnetically optimized,
switching units." One of the switch ideas actually came to me one night
in a dream, after several days of trying to come up with a suitable design.
Be warned. This is a long video clip which includes sound, and can take several minutes to load. "California Dreamin" is part of a private collection. A similar motorized ball machine can be commissioned for around $15,000 and up. This video loads automatically. Double click the image to see it play again. |
