Hi Lim Jeck's Mum, I just wanted to ask how far can 2 of the beads (balls) be kept for them to be attracted to each other? I believe those are neodymium magnets.
ReplyDeleteWith only air between the 2 individual Bucky balls resting on a "smooth" surface, the maximum distance between the 2 before the attraction force can overcome the friction and air resistance is approximately 3.5cm.
