If I had one of these, I’d never get anything done because I’d spend all my time fidgeting with it! Link -via reddit

Is it just magnetized ball bearings?

That does look fun. I wonder how long they stay magnetized?

Ball bearings are usually stainless steel, which makes a pretty lousy magnet.
These are just spherical neodymium magnets.

Furthermore, they’ll stay magnetized years and years, but they’re brittle. If you let them come together from far apart you run the risk of cracking them.

I have a cube of neodymium magnets. I can confirm that as soon as you pick it up, you can’t get anything else done.
Rather than spheres, “weakly” magnetized 1/8″ - 3/16″ cubical magnets are the best choice for this. Be sure to get a perfect cube. (K&J magnetics sells them in cubic quantities, even!)

The website mentioned in the video never was there for me, either, so I used a different link where it says “Link”. That one works!

Anybody else disappointed that they didn’t make a mobius strip when he brought the two ends together?

My doctor gave me something similar to help me deal with my OCD, but this looks way better.

holy crap!! i love magnetic toys.. a few years back i bought a little magnet-building kit thing from the planetarium and i could not put it down. it is SUCH a terrible idea to sell a bunch of stoners a toy like that… needless to say, all the parts never make it to the next user.

I like how there’s an image in the middle of the video. I assume that the video’s creator was trying to insert the “youtube thumbnail” but missed.
Also: This is going to the top of my xmas list.

@ Windell Oskay:
Dagnabbit… thanks to you I just ordered 100 1/8″ cubes from K&J.
The rubber coated ones seem even cooler but far more expensive.

Well guess I better order one fast. Knowing our society, some idiot parent will give it to their toddler who will then swallow the thing resulting in some medical horror story. Then watch it get banned even though its not for kids in the first place.

We supply Neocube magnetic balls (magnetic spheres) whose size is from 3mm~10mm. They are very powerful and amazing. There are 216pcs of magnetic spheres in one set.
The magnetic fields of magnetic balls are concentrated more at the poles than disc or block magnets. These balls are great for experimentation and magic tricks and are just plain fascinating to play with.
Neocube is consisted of hundreds of individual strong neodymium balls.
You can create huge number of shapes and models according to your imagination by this amazing Neocube.
Neocube is wonderfully suitable for experiments and combining with other magnets.
No one who comes into contact with these magnets ever wants to give them back. These small but very powerful Neocube inevitably arouse a sense of play.
The more, the better.

These are the coolest puzzles! I just bought 2 of them from this place called TheCyberCube.com. They have different types of cubes and cool packaging! Its defiantly a must check out. The price was pretty good. I believe the “7×7 Creation Cube” is the same as the NeoCube BUT the 7×7 Creation Cube you get 343 spheres VS the NeoCube you only get 216 spheres. Dunno … Check it out!!
