Fiat Lux is a lamp with a switch that hovers underneath -no strings attached! The ball-shaped switch is magnetic, and rests on the lamp when not in use. When you approach the lamp, it turns itself on. Then you “hang” the switch underneath, where it levitates by magnetic force. Move the switch to turn the lamp off. Designed by Constance Guisset and Grégory Cid. Link -via Metafilter

This is the current rage in the Neatorama Shop: Zoomdoggle’s insanely fun BuckyBalls – a set of 216 balls made from powerful rare earth magnets.

You can shape and mold an unlimited variations of magnetic sculpture (of course, if you get more than 1, you can combine them to create a mega-sculpture!). Tear ‘em apart and snap ‘em back together for hours of fun.

BuckyBalls is this week’s featured product at the Neatorama Shop. For a limited time, you’ll get a free Mystery Gift for the purchase of each BuckyBalls (What will you get? Well, we won’t tell you … it’s a mystery!)

The next time you ride a train, spill some paperclips on the floor and see if they do the "magnetic dance". According to Pink Tentacle:

The video — shot on the Rokko Liner in Kobe, Japan — shows how paperclips stand on end when the train accelerates and brakes. The magnetism, which is produced by the electric current that drives the motors located under the floor, apparently poses no harm to the human body, though it could damage credit cards, mobile phones, or other electronic devices if left on the floor.

Each mosaic design has been specially crafted to use the same combination of pieces, so every mosaic can be made with the 1296 pieces included in each motifo pack. If you want to create a new design, just rearrange the pieces.

If I’m not afraid that they’d swallow the small pieces outright, this would be a blast for my kids! Link – via Funfurde

	Magnet Falling Down a Copper Tube All right, let's end this on a scientific note. Here's what happened when you drop a magnet down a copper tube. The video is not slowed down, the movement of the falling magnet creates an eddy current that exerts a damping force on the magnet. Link
