There is one Visveswaraiah Museum in Bangalore,India. And the marble machine over there follows nearly all the laws of physics (including trajectory and elasticity). Only this is that it has big black balls (size of a normal baseball ball) instead of small marbles. I'll see if I can make one with proper instructions.. :D It was fun to watch them in Museums of Physics and stuff. There is one Visveswaraiah Museum in Bangalore,India.

We could test all sorts of them to see how long they last, including rechargables.... please do it If you can stick a counter on the machine, this would be the perfect battery tester.
