Magnetic Clock ---Qiyi Mofangge Cube

[MoFangGe]

Mold testing of QiYi Clock !!
This Clock was designed in February 2016.
So many new technologies used including the Magnet-Position System of pins .
And now ,we are testing the molds. So it would be available so soon.

Is this really happening, a new clock, it can't be...

Are the magnets just there to stop the pins falling on their own like they do in the Lingao clock? If they work, its an awesome idea.

Also, will it be possible to open this clock to lubricate the inside without having to tape it back together?

Either way, I'm really excited for this. I hope they are available soon.

If the pins have significant click this will be good. I wonder if it'll be better than a Rubik.

 

[DGCubes]

Oh man, that's awesome. I hope it turns out to be the best on the market.

Will this be out before Manhattan Cube Comp? (August 22nd)

I don't care about clock, but I'm curious about the possibilities of magnets in puzzles. Has anybody looked into the possibility of a magnetic alignment system in cubes? It seems like it could be especially useful in higher-order cubes as long as the magnets weren't strong enough to make it difficult to turn. It would probably be easier to implement in smaller cubes, I guess.

I also could have swore I saw a video with some guy trying out magnets inside of different parts of a cube but I can't find it at all

I've seen that, and it looks very interesting. I haven't seen any application of magnets to cubes or dodecahedral puzzles, and that's what I'm really curious about. It seems like you could use magnets to drastically improve reverse corner cutting, which would be incredibly valuable on 5-7 cubes in particular.

Wow that pyra looks good. Hope it comes out soon

uhh, first new clock in like, 5 years? Looks promising!

There are magnetic dice cubes, but I'm thinking specifically of speed cubes with magnets to augment the mechanism.

That's what I'm thinking of as well. The video might have been deleted. I'll keep looking for it.

If it's really good it might actually make clock solving bearable. Maybe I'll compete in clock again after all.

 

[Ordway Persyn]

Yay, waiting to not buy clock until a good one comes out has payed off!

Well, clock is gonna be a decent event now that we should have another good option, but actually available! Any notes on when it may hit market?

Paradoxcubing made a video about putting magnets in 3x3s

This is exactly what I was thinking of, THANK YOU.
