Ball In Cylinder Puzzle No 1
Posted: Fri Jan 11, 2013 2:07 pm
Hello Everyone
The Ball in Cylinder No1 Puzzle below is my second mechanical puzzle design. I feel it is way much better than my first (the RevoLUTION Ball Puzzle), not only in terms of the different trick involved but also more aesthetically pleasing. The object is to remove the hidden ball bearing inside the cylinder.
After 3 prototypes, I finally got the metal fabricator to produce a small quantity of units. The puzzle is made entirely out of 6061 aluminium. I am very happy with the outcome.
I sent several copies to some of the experienced puzzlers cum bloggers in our community and so far the feedback has been very encouraging. Please see Kevin Sadler's post on his blog:-

I am enjoying all this designing and puzzle making very much and already working on my next puzzle design, the No2. Hopefully this will be out in February/March this year.
I still have a handful of units available for sale. If anyone is interested, please email me via my blog site profile below.
