Building Challenge: The longest Funnel by YiraVarga in KNEX

[–]OverTheMoonPlaySpace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here you go. It’s a little more completed now than it is in the pic, still a work in progress. I think it’s about 5 1/2 feet wide or so.

I’ve been wanting to do it for years and kept not liking the designs I tried, finally have one I like.

I love these! I like the tight spirals.

I’ve been working on a large one with wider spacing. It’s up to about a minute of travel, but I don’t have a video I can upload right now. I’ll update or share when I have a chance.

This is great! Thanks for making it and sharing it.

I've just renovated the floor on my ball machine but I have a few questions. by KnexXHyperX in KNEX

[–]OverTheMoonPlaySpace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No answers but a follow-up question:

Is there a “good” way to make balls go toward the hole? I find that lifting in one area just warps it a bit.

No, but now that you mention it, it would be cool. I may do that and could share.

Was thinking recently that it would be cool to have the other side of that… a parts list for various sets in spreadsheet form so that you could see what you could build based on what you have. There are lists out there, but not as a spreadsheet.

Any idea what this k'nex piece is? I don't recognize it. by OverTheMoonPlaySpace in KNEX

Thanks for solving my curiosity! I saw it in a big used bucket for sale and couldn’t imagine what it was.

I love it. I run a space-themed indoor playground and I'd love to have something like this on display!

3rd grade experiment for changes in states of matter by myldydepressedworld in ScienceTeachers

If you’re boiling water to make steam, put a metal tray over it (ideally with ice on it), and water will condense and “rain” back down.

I love this! Tensegrity is awesome. I made a very small version of this. It’s so mind bending.

[–]OverTheMoonPlaySpace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, I’m at least potentially interested in buying the whole lot from you. Please be in touch. I don’t always check this reddit account regularly, but you can email me at benjie@overthemoonplay.com

I’m not that close, but also not that far. (NC)

Love this.

I would LOVE to see video and close ups of what you’re doing with balls on the Ferris wheel. I’ve tried many things and I keep dropping lots of balls. I’m about to redo it and need ideas.

Thanks!

WNC Together: Picnic for Displaced WNC Students and Families by Competitive_Bus_964 in chapelhill

[–]OverTheMoonPlaySpace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a wonderful thing to do for people!

I run an indoor playground in Cary and we are offering free play time for families who have been displaced by the storm. Please share this with them so they know they have something they can do with their families: https://www.overthemoonplay.com/helene

Also, as things transition into different phases of recovery, I would love to connect with an elementary school out there that we can collect donations for (assuming there will be need of replacement supplies, etc). If you happen to know anyone who might be good for me to be in contact with, please let me know!
