Uber Orbs

Saturday, December 3rd, 2005

Uber OrbsWhat do you do when you have a pair of oblong-ish cylinderical-ish [tag]super magnets[/tag]? Pretty much anything I would say - just don’t park it next to your hard drive…

I have read that these magnets will still attract each other through a 1-inch thick wooden barrier! People say that you can feel the magnetic attraction when you seperate the magnets in your hand. If you hover one above the other, the one at the bottom will stand up. You could probably screw up the audio quality if you put one next to a speaker!

Then there’s the funny shape. The shape causes the magnets to wobble when you toss them making a kind of zinging sound - like when you bounce a marble on a marble floor and then take a piece of flat wood or something and start limiting the space in which the marble can bounce so that the marble bounces off the wood and strikes the floor at an increasing frequency. Hope that makes sense.

I sense a great potential for some serious fun with these [tag]Uber Orbs[/tag] - I gotta have one!
