Unlike using fixates, objects attached with an axle can still spin and move. Lowering the mass (not too low!) can help too.Īxles are used to loosely attach objects to other objects or to the background. Make sure to set the friction and restitution to 0 so it doesn't bounce and the marble can flow smoothly.
Add 2 boxes below it to make sure it tips just enough and not too much.Make a T shape from boxes and add an axle to the center-bottom part.This can be pretty challenging to make and there's no one-size-fits-all answer, so I recommend not relying on the text and checking out the video link below.The idea is that it alternates where it sends the marble, hence the name. The next marble then gets sent to the other side, tipping the alternator back to it's original state.
The way it works is that it sends a marble to one direction, and by doing that tips to the other side.
