      You're joking right? Money isn't important enough to sponsor that game. It makes you worth less to sponsors when you'll obviously sponsor anything for a quick buck and don't actually have a real endorsement or interest in what you're sponsoring. Please at least put your sponsor ads at the end so we can skip them.

      whenever i saw the refrigerator magnet part i instantly decided to see the effect for myself. i found that not only do the magnets allow for only movement in increments but it the magnets also weaken if the fields are at a 90-degree angle to each other kind of like when you rotate a polarized lens 90 degrees to another polarized lens, and it blocks the light from passing. but in this case the magnetic field getting weakened is like the like getting blocked

      Fullerton invented the programmable magnet in 2008. Halbach arrays are individual permanent magnets arranged like he showed in the video. Being able to program a single magnet with complex patterns of polarity is what Fullerton figured out. Fridge magnets are polarized by being passed over a halbach array to imprint the pattern.
      So there is a significant difference. Halbach arrays are permanent magnets. Correlated Magnets are programmed with electromagnets at a much finer and arbitrary detail.

    I have some of these magnets. The magnets that repel when you twist them is a cabinet door latch and the smart one with the tiny field lines is to hold a cell phone on the dashboard, where you place the metal plate inside the back (or attach to the outside) of your cell phone's case. The magnetic field doesn't go through the plate into the cell phone. The magnets that click and hold only in certain spots are for drawers on boats so they hold in almost any position, and the magnets are bars instead of circles, so when you open it, it will stay in place while you look into the drawer, then almost closed, then closed. The ones that repel until you push them together will keep a window open just a little bit, but latch it closed when you push the window down with no mechanical parts. These magnets are pretty cheap too, only a few dollars each.

      Nobody can even fully comprehend how this guy without knowing it , is making the human mind evolve at a global scale . And he do that very quickly and consistently . it's amazing .
      hundreds year from now . the first basic idea of thing used in those years could come from one of his video . a six grader could see this and say to himself , wow i wanna know more about magnet . and 60 years from now he may discover something that would be used 40 years later to create ground breaking technology . We somehow think we know everything there is to know , but we really don't , we don't know more, then we know , every answer give multiple new question . The more we know , the more we realize that we know even less .
      So it's perfectly conceivable that my story could happen , that video gave me more question than answer , and maybe those question won't be answered in my lifetime . Instead of producing highly developed and educated people ,school still create low wage worker , and radical people , politic and "sex" is becoming the subject of choice . when we should be teaching all the new generation , way more stuff , at least they have internet so they could seek it easily , but still we have to teach them quickly how to look for the information they are looking for , or the information that can enlighten them . Make them think , and give them a good base on LOGIC , and fallacy . Anyways weeds is doing its effect , i'm writing a book again ... have a nice day .

      It's to make flexible cheap magnets that don't implode since the fields have limited range (each part can't pull from far enough to attract bits that would overcome its resistance to folding). Unfortunately it also makes them fall off when attaching too many papers.
      Edit: Solid metal cut magnets are more expensive than metal infused plastic, but the thin plastic would have implosion problems if the fields were too big.

I feel like control and manipulation of magnetic fields is going to be critical in our species pushing through the next barrier in our technologies.

    So, weird story, weird moment. As a young boy I actually had an idea that this could be done with magnets. Its of course nothing surprising or special or anything, a million people probably discovered this can be done or maybe it wasn't anything that was hidden from the start ( and I had just never seen one before, realistically I didn't even know fridge magnets worked like that tbh) but the fact that they work this way, Idk my face is smiling I'm a little kid inside, perhaps I've always have been, I love stuff like this, I always have. I'll go subscribe right now.

    I saw a video a couple years ago where they were 3D printing magnets to get that effect
