![]() STORY Clock: a spherical magnet hovers one centimeter from the face of this amazing clock and orbits in a circle to indicate the time- for this video I selected an orbit period of 40 seconds to show off the motion. This very high-tech clock is also high end (more expensive than most items I feature), with excellent craftmaship and technology that is clearly hard to replicate so that it is only made by, and available from, the FLYTE team:įrom FLYTE: BUY NOW: US & Global Sales Story Clock or in EU Story Clock ![]() Swipe to see the effect via magneview film which allows a visualization of the magnetic field- note that the field extends and is visible right through the thick copper. Interestingly the Al tube is about half the mass of the Cu one, even though it is larger in volume. Interestingly the magnet falls a bit faster through the aluminum even though the walls are thicker- Al is only about 60% as conductive as Cu- so it takes more material to induce the needed magnetic field using aluminum. A changing magnetic field (such as that from a falling magnet) induces an electric current in the copper, which in turn produce an electromagnetic field (but of lesser strength) with opposing polarity. ![]() and international safety standards as well as meet our own very stringent internal quality standards.Available as a set, or individually (all come with the super powerful sphere magnet) here:įrom : BUY NOW: Copper + Aluminum Feel Fluxįrom Educational Innovations: BUY NOW Magnetic Viewing Filmįrom Amazon: BUY NOW Magnetic Viewing Filmįeel Flux Loop: original (copper) and the "Skill Flux" version (aluminum)- toys that use Lenz's Law to manipulate a very strong neodymium magnet. She added that “the products currently on the shelves meet all applicable U.S. In response to that allegation, Rose Art spokesperson Jennifer Zerczy told Playthings “it would not be appropriate for us to comment on anything Mr. Osborn contends that “Rose Art was not only aware of the danger, but distributed a defective product to millions of families worldwide and neglected to warn them about potential fatal risks.” “Warnings by the medical community of this danger have been available for years,” he said. Sim Osborn, attorney for all three families, noted that Magnetix packaging mentions a choking hazard for children under 3, but points out it does not address the potentially fatal hazard of swallowing magnets. The families are hoping that the company will be forced to stop selling the product in its current form and are seeking damages for medical expenses and injuries. Each of the toddlers experienced flu-like symptoms and stomach pains and had to have surgery to remove the magnetic pieces that bonded in their intestines.īoth of the new suits allege Magnetix’s design and assembly is defective and that the company should have warned parents about the hazards of swallowing magnets. Two additional suits are being brought by the families of two toddlers for injuries that the children suffered after swallowing magnetic pieces from Magnetix sets. ![]() The magnets are said to have twisted his small intestine and created a blockage that proved fatal while doctors puzzled over what was wrong, according to media reports. On March 15, the family of 22-month-old Kenny Sweet filed suit against Rose Art alleging the boy died from ingesting magnets from the company’s Magnetix building sets.
