Abstract: Wojtkowski's system of , , falling balls is a nonuniformly hyperbolic smooth dynamical system with singularities. It is still an open question whether this system is ergodic. We contribute towards an affirmative answer, by proving the non-contraction property, conditioned by the assumption of strict unboundedness. For a certain mass ratio the configuration space can be unfolded to a billiard table where the daunting proper alignment condition is satisfied. We prove, that the aforementioned unfolded system with three degrees of freedom is ergodic.
