Why aren’t magnets used more to achieve the same effect?
Why doesn't it work with magnets, too?
They mentioned that they have magnets all over the thing.
Just a small magnet can give you amazing capabilities :D
Per author's comment under the article: because it is magnetic.
don't those have giant magnets....
the two seem to have a form of magnetism.
Powered by magnetism? What process would that be?
Could you not just do it with a magnet?
What is complicated about a magnet?
