Description: Three solid steel ball bearings (spheres) easily suspended by miniscule neodymium magnets. The lowest sphere is 3.63cm in diameter (196.1g), and is being held up by a NIB disk magnet 4mm in diameter by 1.5mm thick (0.143g). Such magnets can easily lift thousands of times their own mass.
