What Is It? game 332
Hey look! It's time for our collaboration with the wonderful What Is It? Blog! Do you know what the terrifying object in this picture is? It doesn't really matter if you do, because we are looking for the funniest guesses. You can win a t-shirt from the NeatoShop! But first, read the rules:
Place your guess in the comment section below. One guess per comment, please, though you can enter as many as you'd like. Two winners who submit funny and/or clever (albeit ultimately wrong) answers will each win a T-shirt from the NeatoShop.
If you guess the correct answer, you'll get a big pat on the back.
Please write your T-shirt selection alongside your guess. If you don't include a selection, you forfeit the prize, okay? May we suggest the Science T-Shirt, Funny T-Shirt and Artist-Designed T-Shirts?
There are a few more scary pictures of this thing at the What Is It? Blog. Yeah, it opens up (shiver). Good luck!
Update: This device is probably for cooking meat in a fireplace. That makes sense. We prefer answers that don’t make much sense, but do make us laugh. Jes Rickard Smith had a good one: “I believe it is a "Morning Wood Preventer" For those awkward sleepovers at nana's house.” That’s good for a t-shirt from the NeatoShop! Another t-shirt goes to David Addams, who said this was “ a prototype for the Krell "Brain Boost" machine from Forbidden Planet. If using the first side didn't work, you had to use the second.” I found a picture of it in use:
Aren't you glad I didn't look for a picture of the first answer? Congratulations to our winners! You can see the answers to all the mystery items of the week at the What Is It? blog.
We hope you like this article!

These are just spherical neodymium magnets.
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!)
Oh yes! I was thinking that as Well!
Also: This is going to the top of my xmas list.
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.
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.

Happy Cubing!
After looking up those mentioned and several (including wholesalers) I found on my own, I believe that the CyberCube is the best value for your money.
I tried to buy a bulk lot from a wholesaler before searching for the cheapest set available.
In my search of wholesalers the best one I found was Indigo.com. They unfortunately do not sell sphere magnets and if they did I SUSPECT that it would still be cheaper to buy a set of 216 or 343 magnets from a place like BukcyBalls or NeoCube or CyberCube, but they have good deals on other magnets and scientific equipment - I searched for hours. I believe that they have the cheapest prisms on the web (trianlge-shaped pieces of glass that let you see around corners or show the full spectrum of light).
For instance, you can buy 64 (which is 4x4) nickle-coated neodymium N42 cube magnets that are 5mm x 5mm x 5mm, for only $11.52 .
You should email me.
We are official dealer of the cubes.
