The Kinetic Art Time Machine

This is the perpetual motion machine that combines the concepts of art and engineering to express time. It employs a complex network of gears that keep time while 30 stainless steel bearings supplant a clock’s hands, marking the hour, every 10th minute, and each minute. An anodized aluminum wheel conveys each ball to the topmost level of a dual-rail track, where it is deposited onto the outer rail to represent a single minute of time. The process repeats until a 10th ball is redirected to the inner rail where it rolls down the spiraling track to the next level to mark a 10th minute—the 6th ball at this level drops to represent an increase in the hour. Expertly crafted using anodized aluminum alloy. Includes glass dome cover. USB-C plug. 12 1/4" H x 8 1/2" W x 8 3/4" D. (10 lbs.)
