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.

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