Feel Flux® Skill Aluminium - Science / Magic (Grey)

Product Information

Warning: the strong magnet ball requires careful handling! Not for children under 14 years of age. Read the user manual before using the product. Keep the ball in the air without even touching it. Try to find the perfect balance while you roll the ball around the edge of the tube.

Flux Original relies on a rarely know magnetic principle called Lenz’s law: the magnetic braking force is generated by an electric current induced by the movement of the world’s most powerful magnet ball inside the tube.Create and learn new moves in different styles, play fast, or be a zen master - It's all up to you and your creativity!

But first, what exactly is Feel Flux? - Simply: An extremely strong magnetic ball and a precision-crafted tube made of pure aluminum. What does it do? Two words: Anti Gravity. Juggling is hard. Keeping those balls aloft against the relentless forces of gravity takes skill. But what if you could just make gravity work a little bit differently? With the Feel Flux, you can. Drop the magnetic ball into one of the aluminum tubes and astonishingly the ball drastically slows its fall WITHOUT touching any part of the tube's surface. There's actually a simple explanation for this gravity-defying effect. The little pinball is a piece of neodymium: a rare Earth metal with a very powerful magnetic force. Depending on the Feel Flux model, the cylinder is made of copper, aluminum, or pure silver. When the ball falls through the cylinder, the moving magnetic field changes inside the conductive material, based on a principle called Lenz's Law. This creates a voltage known as electromotive force that produces an additional magnetic field that resists the first one. This is why the ball slows down inside of the cylinder. The faster the ball moves, the stronger the resistant force becomes. The whole thing just has a really nice feel to it - the way the ball slowly glides through the tubes is almost magic, and if you manage to get the ball to fall through cleanly without touching the sides, it really feels special.

It doesn't. The Feel Flux is a neat toy based on some interesting, if obscure physics. The anti-gravity effect is pretty mind-bending the first few times you see it, but becomes predictable over time. Inevitably, the Feel Flux probably isn't going to change your life. What is it? Simply: An extremely strong magnetic ball and a precision-crafted tube made of the purest copper available. What does it do? Two words: Anti Gravity. I had been watching this product for a long time before taking the plunge and purchasing it. It's obviously a bit more expensive than your generic fidget gadget and although you can find some good videos of it online, I still wasn't 100% sure exactly how the product would feel and react.
