1. My respect to your non-standard approach again! You detect another interesting aspect of the problem. What will happen if n (n being the number of the zig-zags) tends to infinity? I don’t now again. This aspect of the problem has to considered and evaluated carefully and thoroughly again. Interesting! (In our numerous experiments the zig-zags are only 4 (four) in number as described in PART 3 of our first video.)
2. As for PART 3 again please remember that the mass of each couple blue rod-blue ball is much smaller than the mass of the T-shaped blue component. This is an important difference, if compared to your interesting idea for using of only one ball and only one zig-zag tube. But in order to generate some balance what do you think if in PART 3 we use only two balls and two zig-zag tubes and remove the T-shaped component? (An important requirement here is as if the perfect coordination of the two balls’ motion. The two balls have to start moving simultaneously.)  Looking forward to your answer.
