Amazing little toy [Posted on 2004-12-28] I received one of these for Christmas. My friend was the first to get it working, but now both of us can do it. It's truly amazing when it DOES work. (And, yes, it is testy!)
great product [Posted on 2007-01-17] i loved this toy i bought it and had a hard time getting it started but once i did it was great.
A cool toy for my 10 year old. [Posted on 2007-11-27] As promised, there is significant patience required to get this going. But once accomplished, it's a fascinating demonstration of magnetic suspension.
Viewers might find it useful to look up videos on youtube that show how this works.
Not a toy [Posted on 2008-01-28] This is an amazing device. It's quite incredible--once you get it to work. My elven-year-old son had a delightful time putting it together, but there is a serious learning curve when it comes to making the device actually work. While an adult has the patience required to learn the technique, my preteen became board after several tries and gave up. Still, it makes for an effective demonstration of several scientific concepts--once you figure out how to make it work . . .
Thinkgeek is AWESOME! [Posted on 2008-08-27] This product is good. Thinkgeek has EXCELENT support. I bought it and realized that I needed to cancel it, so I contacted them via E-Mail. Usually companies don't pay attention to E-Mails, or they have an automated E-Mailer. Not this one. I got a confirmation saying it was canceled. However, Get "Geek Points" by buying it from www.thinkgeek.com !
