Reuben H. Fleet Science Center

Project: Kuglebahn Ball Wall

Location: San Diego, CA

Installed: April 2009

The Kuglebahn Ball Wall is a visually stimulating display that will intrigue and wow all who watch. The display box includes a complex design of gears and tracks that include objects such as a cooking pan, bike wheel, bells, and several sports equipment items. Viewers can turn a wheel at the center of the display box to make the exhibit come to life. Once the wheel is spun, gears shift and rotate while pool balls glide, spin, fly, and drop through the exciting maze. The faster the wheel is spun, the faster and louder the pool balls become. Be sure to watch the video to see the machine in full action!
