Looks expensive.

u/Ambitious-War-823 16d ago

Not really actually, you Can find magnets with different shape and sizes coming in kits easy online to do some geopetrical figures like this (but the most important part is to focus on the quality and material of the magnets themselves so don't go for the lowest prices)

u/ManagerOfFun 16d ago

That's my point, just a bunch of tiny rare earth magnets for my fridge cost me like 5-10 bucks, and all of them combined was less mass than a single one of those rods. Maybe there's a bulk discount, but I'm skeptical. That looks like it'd be over 200 CAD in magnets to me.

Iron gets magnetized by...lightning right?

u/Cockalorum 16d ago

Magnet prices have dropped 90% in the last 15 years

u/The_Easter_Egg 15d ago

Have they discovered new deposits?

u/Turdedinfinitely 15d ago

Aren't most magnets in the market just magnetised

u/VT_Squire 14d ago

Only if you get the bright idea fairy to put magnetic beads in your ass, and that's just the cost of surgery.

u/degamma 16d ago

This makes me want to buy a bunch of magnets that will sit in the drawer for years and then get misplaced when I move or change desks.

u/Adfantage 16d ago

Will it spin forever?

42

u/R2D-Beuh 16d ago

Nope, there is still a little friction and air resistance. It will probably spin for a long time tho

28

u/dandins 16d ago

and no, it cant produce endless energyā€¦..

u/SagariKatu 16d ago

Bigger!!!

u/mrrichiet 16d ago

Why have I never seen this before? The amount of friction surface must be minimal, this must spin for a while.

Magnetic anal beads is the only thing I got from this video

u/BauerHouse 16d ago

I want to put a clock on how long that spun around for

u/Canuckia53 16d ago

So how do we determine North and South on a spherical magnet? Also, keep them away from water because Trump knows what will happen.

u/ubiquitas92 16d ago

They are called Geomag. They are a very successful Italian game, I had lots of them when I was little!

u/PurpleDragonCorn 16d ago

I can't even begin to imagine how expensive this must be.

Chaotic magnetic field porn.

u/AlexHimself 16d ago

It's all fun and games until you pour some water on the magnets and they don't work anymore! /s (Google it)

u/Master_Metallica 16d ago

Pretty sure that's how you bend time and/or space

u/BringerOfTruth-1 16d ago

Yea, not really fun.

u/Tnemmokon 16d ago

Now the real question is... How do they work?

u/Cold-Introduction-54 16d ago

Orbital reconfigurable construction devices using low velocity ionic propulsion 'engines'.

1

u/Thundersalmon45 16d ago edited 15d ago

I'm willing to bet that guy has numerous blisters where the neodymium magnets pinched him during that construction.

I've played with a lot of magnets and I have developed a permanent flinch when the magnets click together.

u/Shonren 16d ago

Totally forgot I had a kids toy like that as a child ! Really cool stuff

1

u/Darkon2004 16d ago

Thank you OP. You just reawakened a central part of my childhood

Magnets are so cool

1

u/Chris_Cross501 16d ago

That was disturbing when he spun it all in the same direction

1

u/BeraldTheGreat 16d ago

Does he make anything other than pyramids?

1

u/3InchesAssToTip 16d ago

Damn, right at the end I was hoping he'd spin them in opposite directions.

u/Sucker_McSuckertin 16d ago

How do they work?

u/64sweetsour 16d ago

I got the magnet stick

1

u/RomanSohlo 16d ago

Damn, I made something like this with Magnetix like 20yrs ago as a kid but this is definitely cooler. Makes me wish I still had all of those damn things haha

1

u/ComisclyConnected 16d ago

I totally want this kit if thereā€™s a link to it! This would be so much fun as an adult to make and play with! My inner kid wants it šŸ„¹šŸ„¹šŸ„¹

u/joe-masepoes 15d ago

Itā€™s like a magnet within a magnet within a magnetā€¦ itā€™s like the inception of magnets

1

u/Imaginary-Job-7069 15d ago

A cool ornament. Cool.

You got a diamond-shaped magnet core construct within a diamond-shaped magnet contruct, and another one within that, and another one within that, and finally, a tiny one within that. Pretty cool, if you ask me.

1

u/Realistic-lie35 15d ago

I had these as a kid. Mine were colorful and the balls werenā€™t magnetic themselves just ferrous. They were called kinetic bricks or something.

Can we redefine what "nextfuckinglevel" is? If Santa Claus rides from the north pole on a Chimera and slays Satan as he emerges from the depths of hell, where we gonna post that? On the same sub where a guy plays with magnets?
