Amazing Lego ball contraption built by designer in 600 hours - video

Designer Akiyuki has created a large-scale Lego contraption in his living room.

The machine was designed to transport hundreds of small balls across 101ft at an average rate of one ball per second.

'The Lego Great Ball Contraption' is an amazingly complicated construction that features 17 highly detailed modules linked together in order to move the balls around the machine.



The 'ball factory' begins the machine with two items placed into plastic pots, before they are sent through the zig-zag course.

The Lego machine also includes balls fired into a mini basketball net, riding through a train track and being put into a digger.

Two years were needed to complete the machine, while it took just two days for the video recording of it to reach viral status.

It has now been viewed nearly 140,000 times since it was uploaded to YouTube on Monday (September 17).
