How to Build a Marble Roller Coaster. Design a custom marble roller coaster using these
materials and enjoy the twists and turns as you set the marble flying! You will need Plastic
tubing Metal wire Copper tubing Chicken wire Foam pipe insulation Supports Welding torch
Soldering iron Hot glue gun Marble and marble roller coaster set (optional). Step 1. Pick
a place to set up the project that will let you modify it without any problems, and will
be out of the way of foot traffic. Step 2. Make the track. Different coasters are made
out of different materials. Plastic tubing, metal wire, copper tubing, chicken wire, and
foam pipe insulation are common track materials. Buy a marble roller coaster set that comes
with a track so you don't have to make the track yourself. Step 3. Hold up the coaster
with vertical supports. Spread your supports out to keep the coaster open, but make sure
they are close enough together to hold up the weight of the track. Step 4. Set the start
of the coaster as the highest point of the track. The start is where the marble gains
momentum to travel the whole track. Step 5. Attach the track to the support beams by welding,
soldering, or gluing with a hot glue gun. Always use caution when welding, soldering,
or using a hot glue gun. Step 6. Add different declines to your roller coaster. Be careful
of having too many steep declines as it can cause the marble to go so fast that it flies
off the track. Step 7. Bend the track to create loops and corkscrews. Experiment with the
marble to see what size and shape loops work best. Step 8. Drop the marble into the roller
coaster and have fun watching it *** down the track and loop the loops. Did you know
The force you feel pushing against your body when a roller coaster goes through a curve,
usually called centrifugal force, is not actually a force. It is your body's resistance to the
train's change in direction.
