There have to be in tubes or something. I'm not sure if this is what they say it is, it might be wires. The amount of energy if that is a 8' tall room is staggering.

According to some Google searches, this exhibit is at the BMW Museum in Munich, Germany and uses string or wire to manipulate each ball bearing.

I don't get it. How much energy is required to move a ball bearing on a string?

^My guess is that they had to have a nuclear reactor on-site.

That was my fault. The video originally said that the balls were being moved by a magnetic field. joedirt was referring to that and not the strings.

ohhh
