How and what can be done from the rare earth?

the cube

Rare earth (neodymium cube is a puzzle game that is intended for the development of spatial imagination and fine motor skills of hands. It costs about UAH 300 (1200 rubles)

It consists of 216 g-beads (diameter might be from 5 to 10 mm)-magnets (from an alloy of neodymium, boron and iron), Nickel-plated to protect from scratches. Some manufacturers cover it for strength chrome. There are not only rare earth Nickel color, but colored (white, gold, blue, and others). From it you can make many shapes and patterns, and I'll show you how to make some of some of them.

Instruction

Difficulty level: Easy

step 1

porridge-Malaga

tetrahedron

So, before making the actual figure, it is necessary to build up the balls in a row. This is easiest to do so , as shown in the figure on the left.

2 step

Then connect twice twice at two and automate third.

3 step

can be used as a bracelet :)

The third will razvoja and attach to the main part. Connect the ends .

step 4

you should get this

Then connect one side (any) with her bottom.

5 step

almost ready tetrahedron

Then connect the perpendicular face on the other side.

6 step

my creation

The tetrahedron is ready!

7 step

sphere icosahedron

make a sphere

So, if you completed the tetrahedron, then you can proceed to more complex shapes. For example, the sphere (see photo) although the field is difficult to call, because the original name-icosahedron ( http://ru. wikipedia. org/wiki/%D0%98%D0%BA%D0%BE%D1%81%D0%B0%D1%8D%D0%B4%D1%80 ). this figure we will need a total of 180 balls, the rest of us will not need

8 step

Hank

Before repeat step 1 and for convenience will smote in the ring (see photo)

9 step

our triangle

Then gradually unwinding, thus dividing the whole "thread"nine balls. Join their ends. Rings turn into triangles as shown in the figure. Just should get 20 triangles.

10 step

need 4 such

Triangles collected in four designs that are shown on the left. You have to learn 5.

11 step

Then symmetrically connected in the pattern shown on the left and connect them.

(operation 9-10 shown on the video)

12 step

Beauty can have ready icosahedron , in the middle of the triangles can attach 1-Yiwu ball that can be taken from the remaining 36.
