as i said before, the bearings in this idea go in the center, it isn't like the bearings in pyraminxes, its this type:

… Yes, that's also what I said.
The balls in older pyraminxes that are often colloquially called "ball bearings" are not actual bearings.

Ball detents is the word you are looking for.

but BBs is more fun to say (ノ^_^)ノ
besides... does a paintbrush stop being a paintbrush if you throw it at the rat by the trashcan ?

the bearing ring goes in the center, removing almost all of the frictionbut BBs is more fun to say (ノ^_^)ノ

yeah, they are called bearing balls (balls inside of a bearing)

outcomes: the paintbrush becomes trash, the rat becomes a painter, the rat gets stained and the paintbrush stays as it isbut BBs is more fun to say (ノ^_^)ノ

alternate outcomes: the rat AND the trashcan become paintings (this is called Art Nouveau... its kinda all trash pffft!), the rat eats the paintbrush (STILL a paintbrush)) ...and then everything the rat licks becomes ART ᕙ( ¤ 〰 ¤ )ᕗ

Try it and see where it goes. If it is something that performs well, let us know

The cube will turn into a fidget spinner, that’s what they have inside. Defo too fast

it would be really good for a 1x2x1, because they basically have to be turned like a fidget spinner.
But I don't think anyone wants their 3x3 to turn like that
I think most of the friction during a turn is between the corner pieces and edge pieces, as the surfaces slide over each other. The friction between the center pieces and the core is probably a lot less. But I've never tried lubricating inside or under the center. Depending on the cube, I guess you'd have to take everything apart and lube the stems of the core? Has anyone tried that?

the magnets in the edges and corners will stop the fidget spinning problem by aligning the cube

Don’t think they will be close to strong enough, and if they ARE string enough, well…

The magnets should be strong enough to align it in place, but not hinder the cube by being too strong.

Because if the magnets are too strong, it will make it harder to turn the cube.
