First, Love this idea. I love building Marble runs. I had a 4 year
Marble run period all through high school. That's all I would build.
However I don't get why you want to push the balls through so fast. It
makes things more difficult and I don't see what it buys you. Your full
run demo video ran with just one ball. That was very entertaining. Why
not something like 6 balls per minute.
Most of my ideas couldn't handle a ball per second. My solution would
be to build a bypass and pull a ball every now and then and do something
with it. I think its a more interesting challenge when its a serial
course as apposed to a river of balls that get looped around.
