#magnetic
Well I’m sitting in hospital unexpectedly - nothing too serious. I was going to post this last night but I was in too much pain.
So this is a proof of concept. The word “magical” is used far too much but that was my ambition. Something of unknown use and unknown provenance.
Proof of concept is the build I make all the mistakes on - motor too fast, planets too large and high, LEDs wiring wrong and ugly battery packs. Internally this might not be saleable quality.
The video isn’t great, sorry. When I get home I will take some still photos of all the decorations and detail. It was inspired by those magnetic ballerina jewellery boxes from the 1960s. She would dance around a mirror when the box was opened.
I initially covered the neodymium magnets and attached the planet on a post. Wrong. They fell down, stuck to each other with such force they ended up broken. So I’ve gone for simple using the magnetic force to hold the metal spheres. I will include several spare magnets and planets.
I hope you like it!

The coolest way possible for missing ones train: getting asked spontaneously by Alex to put one of Steve Haworths “magicians magnets” into his hand.
Always exciting and honouring to work on one’s peers!

Pigeons navigate by magnetic fields, much like you use a compass to do the same. While we’re pretty sure that they use the magnetosphere to find their way, the particulars have eluded us thus far. We used to think it was guided by its iron-rich beak!
