This is a raytrace of the optimal positioning of 14 balls. From Hugo Pfoertner's website www.enginemonitoring.org.
Original here
Uses the same dodecahedron from here, except that all points are capped with two points contacting a metal book shelf.
Uses approximately 600 magnets.
These are a set of glass marble magnets I made for one of my friends. The pictures are from a magazine and attached to the underside of glass half marbles with a clear drying adhesive.
NEOBALLS / ZEN MAGNETS - Neodymium Magnetic Balls (@~4305) - Starcraft II Massive Thor v2
Video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=TO1nhmP50CE
V2 is now totally free-standing and supports its own weight for the shots ... amazing considering this sucker weighs a ton.
This is my most complex and largest build to date.
V1 background:
It was designed in parts: Cockpit body, then legs, then arms, then rear guns. Then I had to redesign parts when it came time to assemble it together because of incorrect bonding assumptions and misalignment of magnet fields.
Experimented with x-beam coupled bonds to get the maximum lateral strength with reinforcements on the sides. This proved to be very string. Created a X-Beam using similar methods producing a very strong leg structure. It was capable of support the entire weight of the cockpit body w/o a problem. Had to redesign the leg to cockpit body mount point from the earlier concept because the bond was not completely coupled.
Next up were the arm/guns ... the weight was too much for the cockpit body to support so I fashioned a pair of lego-platforms for them to rest on and take the weight off of the central body.
Finally ... the rear guns ... these were a challenge in that their original mount point design had to be reworked also to make them fit correctly into the rear of the cockpit body. I changed the mount points on the guns to fit the space on both sides and added a few support balls to improve the mount point bonds. I was very surprised how they were balanced and supported only by two point sections to the body. The guns stayed in place for a small series of photos.
The V1 design flaw was in the side bonds of the beam to the legs. The coupled field held nicely for a short amount of time and would have held if it didn't have the weight of the rear guns to support. When they were standing upright and straight, all was good. As soon as I attempted to move the platform forward (to take a video), the rear guns tilted slightly backwards and and that was the end of the leg to body support bonds ... and created the dreaded implosion.
The V1 rear gun weight caused the entire central body section to rotate backwards and fall back on the rear guns ... taking the arms in the process.
V2 changes:
V2 added a lot more structural reinforcement to allow the whole thing to support its own weight by distributing bonding between the main body and legs.
V2 changes include removing the top hexagon layer from the top of the legs to create a closer bond to the main body. Also removed one layer from the arm shoulder bonds to the body to make the arms line up with the red side leg accents perfectly and create an arm support bond to the legs/body.
The V2 removed layers were used to make the rear guns shelf support to bond the guns to the body/legs.
Then V2 additional ball support was added to bond the leg and arm joints/junctions to make them more stronger. Also added stabilizers to the rear food toes and mounted the entire model to a metal plate to ensure no movement.
Overall ... I was very happy with the result ... hope I captured enough detail to warrant some visual recognition as a Starcraft II Thor reproduction/interpretation.
This was design and built for the Zen Magnets Contest 26: The Massive Thor

Handmade alphabet magnets with old magazines scraps, perfect for my fridge! I have also redecorated this icecream box to store them!
i made more square magnets last night, with the work of camille rose garcia, alexandra nechita, miro and picasso. the old photos of the woman and the girl on the right hand side are my favorite. i'm still trying to decide whether or not to sell them or not.
i went to an estate auction here in lexington sc, last summer.. an old farm home which sat on "devil's backbone road" (weird huh?) had everything for sale. sadly, there was an old photo album that was thrown in the woods nearby the farmhouse barn. i saw these two little pictures just laying on the ground, so i scooped them up. i thought it was sad that someone just threw out their family photos like they were garbage. but i guess one of the last living relatives died and there was no one to claim the old photos. i should have seen if i could have gotten the entire photo album. i love the little girl's expression on her face! her smirk.

You can get all kinds of magnets.
From the traditional piece of iron (or ore, alloy, or other material) that has its component atoms so ordered that it exhibits properties of magnetism, to the kind of person who is a magnet for trouble - i.e. they attract trouble, or maybe even a babe magnet - the kind of man who attracts attractive women.
These however are fridge magnets. They come in all sizes, and shapes and simply stick to the fridge.
