Polar Pen: A "Modular Pen Made from Magnets"

          Have you ever thought of having a magnetic pen that can serve as a toy? If you did, then this pen is for you. Polar pen is a modular pen which is made up of Neodymium magnets. It is composed of ring-shaped magnets which can be put together to form the body of the pen. It can also be used as a stylus thus allowing you to draw using a digital tablet. You can also disintegrate the magnets to create an alternative compass or simply turn it into a toy.

          You can pledge for this project at www.kickstarter.com. If you really want more about this pen, you can visit their website or watch the video below.

"Anti-Gravity" Optical Illusion

Video from: www.youtube.com

Its been a long time before I had my second post for this month. It has been a bit busy the past days. The video above is a very cool illusion. This illusion is created by Koukichi Sugihara. I suggest you watch the video first before you continue reading. The video illustrates how the wooden balls were said to be magnetized to the top of the slope thus breaking the laws of gravity(which is not). It is a kind of a perspective illusion similar to the ones made by Edgar Mueller, only in a form of a model. This illusion is said to be the Best Visual Illusion of the Year 2010. I hope you like it. If you enjoyed it a lot, you may share it to the whole world by leaving a comment below.
