I’ve been thinking about something with magnets recently. Any ideas?

Congrats on finally getting to bring some of your designs to life! How do those two play?

Also, you changed you pfp, and I had no idea who made these for a sec lol.

I’m loving the logo. Elephants are cool. Yoyoing elephants? Fuggetaboutit! Sick.

Thank you! These play great! The Hourglass is very fun although a bit challenging sometimes because of the width. The Isosceles is very performant although it does generate a little wind. If you are interested contact me!

Any ideas for a yoyo incorporating magnets?

Add some copper wire and a battery? :laughing: Besides that, I’m not sure of anything that wouldn’t be gimmicky. That doesn’t mean there isn’t some use for them, though!

Dang, that thing’s wiggity wack, yo!

Probably grabs string like crazy, huh?

The string falls into the other gaps if not centered. Hopefully this should allow for new trick possibilities.

how about making hubstacks but instead of a bearing, use magnets. one on the stack, one on the hub that attract each other. hopefully they are not too strong and can attract but not tightly enough to stop it from rotating…

Similar to the Christmas tree YoYo’s rain city has

Do you own one?

Interesting, would the magnets be touching then? Just lightly attracted?

Yes. Maybe one would need to be slightly domed to reduce friction on the outside edges. I don’t think it will work great, just an idea.

Love the innovation! Was not expecting it to turn into a spin top.
