Lots of fun. This trip, I saw some "snake eggs" at Dollar Tree - bought a bunch and took them home and starting playing. We ended up with some coupling (and de-coupling) between the mag-eggs which I find amusing - and so did the grand-kids and adults! http://youtu.be/h78zDQDBzUg How to explain this behavior? I really don't know yet... But its fun to observe!

I think he is jdavro or jonnydavro or something like that. The egg spins at speed and he concludes something or other from all this. http://www.energeticforum.com/john-######/4026-one-magnet-no-bearing-######-motor.html (You are going to have to replace the # before you use this link). Here is the video he kicks off with: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZitkVFG6Qj8 . « Last Edit: 2014-02-16, 14:41:36 by Paul-R »
