We have always believed that magnets provide one of the best ways to have fun. We recently received an email from one of our customers which we certainly think proves this!’
Our customer was a painter and decorator who was commissioned to build an exhibition. The summer exhibition was named Marble Mania! Marble Mania was designed to be a collaborative project from the Neotists, a creative company in St Neots.
This project was supported with a grant from Cambridge Community Reach fund and offered as its main feature a giant interactive marble run! This project was built using our very own countersunk Neodymium magnets. It was built to try and encourage children and young people to explore science, technology and mechanics through play.
Our customer used 240 of our NR2003N-LM Neodymium countersunk magnets. The customer applied these to the end of each wooden bars which were then securely attached the wooden colored blocks to the steel wall. In doing this, it secured the blocks to the wall which would hold them steadily in place whilst the marbles were dropped onto them. By using our countersunk magnets it allowed them to be easily detachable and moved around to create different runs. He then used a router to make a rounded groove in the bars, so that the marbles would run on the top surface of the bars.
From everyone at FIRST4MAGNETS we would like to thank our customer for taking the time to send over their pictures and videos and we hope that we can supply them with more magnets for future projects! Here is a sneak peek of the marble run in action for you!
