I made one, showed it to my boss. He thought it was great.

...then he fired you for wasting company resources 😀

Like what? The paper or his brain?

Cool site. The gaussian gun was interesting. I wonder if you could make one using the magnets from old hard drives.

During my freshmen seminar (about magnets), my advisor gave me a bunch of neodymium magnets of varying sizes--cubes, spheres, and rings, and they work great for this. HDD magnets are flat and have the antimagnetic backing which makes it a little awkward to use.

NICE! Almost makes me want to print it out (doh!)... too bad my ancient HP is not very capable of high res prints... 🙁

Just made one... pretty damn cool! 😀

BTW, you dont need high quality paper and high quality printer.

I have some 1/8 lb neodymium magnets. They stick to each other though a 2" thick piece of particle board and MDF.

I don't have any ball bearings or a rail to try it with though. It would probably punch a hole int he wall

Bump for anyone who missed it, takes like 10 minutes and it's worth it!

 

[Drizzy]

[Chronoshock]

[z0mb13]

Then you either built it wrong, or you are looking at it wrong. Mine works perfectly, infact I have two (a red one also) and they both produce an equal, if not better effect than in the video.

Ah... if I cross my eyes a tiny bit, it works great...

You are supposed to close one eye.
