Magnetised cube pieces

[mencarikebenaran]

Is it posibble to make a cube with magnetised pieces instead of magnetise a cube ?

 

[xyzzy]

You mean like, making the pieces out of metal?

 

[mencarikebenaran]

Instead of a cube with small magnets, the piece is already have magnet as one of ingredients on it. Do u understand now ?

 

[freshcuber.de]

No. No.

 

[mencarikebenaran]

its hard to explain coz im not native english speakers
what i mean by cube pieces is look like this

without adding magnet onto cube pieces.
the cube pieces is already magnetic,

like, when producing the cube pieces, one of the ingredients is magnet.

So instead of plastic, it's metal?

 

[cuber314159]

You probably could produce some sort of material which is mostly plastic but has some iron filings or something in it, I doubt that it will be worth it though. Apparently gan are doing some magnetized core thing though.

I think it would be quite heavy and hard to produce

I'm sure it's possible, but I can't see any benefit over the regular magnetization technique.

somebody could try to do it and see if it does anything with the cube, who knows?

Are you referring to GAN XS type pieces?

its a new design anyway, maybe it could be good, or it would just be heavier with the magnets made with it.
Plastic with added tiny magnets makes it lighter for sure?

I'm not sure about if there will be any advantages, and the weight doesn't really matter if it gets lighter, for example, Gan Cubes are very light now, so yeah.

maybe if the magnet made pieces make it more weightier then we can add lighter pieces to balance it out.
That might work anyway.

It could be even though the only thing that this magnetic pieces would do, probably is just prevent magnets to get dislodge from their place.

And as @PetrusQuber said, it would be hard and expensive to produce.

yea your right

I appreciate English isnt your first language, but I think there is also a fundamental misunderstanding as to the nature of magentism.

You cant produce anything with "magnet" as an ingredient as it is a force.
We can produce permanent magnets from several metals, but only di-polar magnets, meaning they must always have a positive and negative side, so any cube piece would be attracting on one side and repelling on the other, causing chaos on a rapidly shifting puzzle cube, you'd be constantly trying to move pieces next to each other that were either strongly attracting or repelling each other.

The reason the small (presumably neodymium) magnets work when added to plastic cube pieces, is that they are added in pairs inside the pieces, which act to help bring the puzzle back to its cube form after any particular user manipulation.
