Description
Mr Helix is a magnificent build and a wonderful conversation piece for the coffee table or end table. Designed to look good from any angle, he can be placed in the center of the room, or in a nook. He is driven by ¾’ steel balls that weigh 1oz apiece. It has three different wheel set options to use depending on your confidence level. It holds enough balls to run either 30, 24 or 19hrs on a wind. He dispenses 8, 11 or 14 balls/hr. That’s one ball every 6.8, 5.45 or 4.29 minutes. The sound of balls racing down the track and smashing into the line is a frequent reminder that the fruit of your labor is alive and ticking! The sound of the balls barreling down the track during the daily winding along with the visual spectacle is sure to brighten your day! This dynamic piece is a clock dressed up in kinetic sculpture/marble machine clothing and announces its presence both visually and acoustically. It’s not likely to go unnoticed! Build it, you’ll be glad you did!
