MG.2(1) – Floating Magnets

Ring ceramic magnets are piled up showing the repulsion between like poles. There are two different sizes available. A new toy is also available: the “Revolution”. Ring magnets are arranged in the length of a small rod so that they are above other pieces of magnets hidden in a small board. At one end, there is a small mirror. The axle floats with one top of the rod touching the mirror. Spin the rod and it will remain spinning for quite a long time.
