Tutorial: Alternate Diagonal Cube (Zen Magnets)

[@golden88eyes]

I don't often comment on videos but I needed to thank you for this one. I have tried and failed so many times with other methods that I gave up for a long time. But I have now made it with ease. Thank you for sharing xx

[@brodieschoenfisch8197]

,hey Magnenaut could you please do tutorials on shapes that don't involve thousands of magnets please

[@NoNameC68]

Amazing how making squares with magnets can be so entertaining.

[@sonyador6475]

Thank you for discovering this technique and sharing how to make it. I consider it one of the "breakthrough" techniques that significantly advanced our magnet art. It has been the basis of many of my builds, including my series of intersecting tetrahedral frames and my ring of interlinked cube frames.

[@boydedwards5475]

Genius method. Your creativity just amazes me.

[@Magnenaut]

Good to hear! And I agree - I think this shape has a lot of potential for some really cool structures. I've got a couple of ideas, but I'm looking forward to seeing what others come up with.

[@lono8866]

I just wanted to thank you for getting me into magnets many years ago and showing me what was possible. I hope you're enjoying whatever it is that you now do. One more video, for old time's sake?

[@Mathnetism]

Great tutorial! Interesting to see that the cube can be build with so many different magnetic properties. A solid version of my Hollow Diagonal Cube also has four vertices of each polarity, but arranged differently (groups of four on two opposing faces).

[@riotpoliec]

This is an excellent tutorial, thank you for responding so quickly!

[@LuckyBum21]

I want a set or two of these! They look way too cool and way too fun!

[@YukiSakuma]

Hi, thanks for the tutorial, I just finished my first diagonal cube, everything worked perfectly! Thanks! Greetings from Italy :-)

[@El-Piersan]

dove gli hai presi?non so dove cercare

[@alyxlinch]

Hey i think you should make a video showing us all of your magnets and the backstory of how you got them all and stuff. Also you could make some type of one set Sires in which all the tutorials are only using one set (or you could do two sets instead)

[@koozdra]

I just made a couple. This has so many possibilities!!

[@NoNameC68]

People keep saying he passed away. What source do we have confirming this?

[@Magnenaut]

Ha, no I didn't. One of the interesting things about the diagonal cube is that the packing of magnets is more dense than what you get with a chaotic "blob". That doesn't mean you can't smash them, but it's not good for your magnets.

[@EdoTimmermans]

Interesting method! I'll certainly do some experiments with this :)

[@n1ng1nj3r6]

On the point of "Magnetic Health Care"...what is your preferred method of storage?

[@Magnenaut]

Thanks! I was definitely surprised to find out that the diagonal cube can be arranged so many different ways. I can't immediately think of another shape that has three possible magnetic arrangements. I wonder if there's a way to work them all together into a structure somehow?

[@Riccolo3]

I love your channel plz make more vids

[@koozdra]

Amazing technique, thanks for the tutorial.

[@aquaponic345]

awesome video brother!!!

[@NotSoSmartNowAreWe]

Awesome :D but you didn't mash it up at the end :'( 5 second video of a mash up?

[@XReverseRainbowX]

can you find small magnets like this in your household items?

[@joegeoff1721]

PLZ plz plz plz plz plz make vids again😭😭😭😭😭

[@oinoi8373]

We all want that

[@joserracr]

i was wondering... is there a place where you can buy large amounts at a fair price? i looked up the zanmagnets site, but at 265+tax (300$ and some more..country stuff) i dont think im gonna get any real soon, how do get get those insane amounts of magnets man? i want to build cool looking stuff too =)

[@ethanpiersall921]

Heres where I get them. Just takes a couple weeks to get here from China. www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?SearchText=neocube&catId=&initiative_id=SB_20131228215316

[@pedrojosearaya]

mae yo tambien quiero y este link que le dieron es fiable!!!

[@gradyking4739]

Magnenaut just has lots of money.

[@ryanwuertz3606]

I love your Chanel

[@davidgustafsson5822]

where do you but these magnets?

[@buzzmas7447]

You havent posted in three years!!! You should start again and do simpler shapes, like 1000 or under balls

[@maginciajaz]

OK I don't know if this has ever happened to you but while constructing a double helix I noticed on of the spheres was behaving strangely. Upon closer look I realized the magnet was barely magnetic any more. Almost like a small bearing. This had happened to one of my buckycubes like a bajillion years ago but I didn't care because cubes are pretty bad. I just emailed Zen Magnets to see if they knew what it was but I figured I'd ask you as well considering you have such a large quantity of magnets.

[@typhoon6911]

Did you quit KZbin?

[@maginciajaz]

Christian Luis Carroni piss off

[@Viktor-tz8qc]

So no more vids?

[@TazerGlen]

Where do u get these? I can't find em on Amazon

[@peashooterman3]

not buckyballs might but there are other brands that arent so shut up geo hd

[@stalker323232]

hey magnenaut! there is actually a way to build this with all corners having the same polarity. you'll need eight 3-sided and six 4-sided pyramids (like here: /watch?v=IBvf9hq_ZSI but hollow is enough -> so just starting with a triangle and a square of 4 magnets respectively then work your way up). attatch them into a cuboctahedron, fill up with magnets and then push the square sides in. you'll need some force, but don't push too hard or it'll get smashed.

[@OnsideHaddock72]

Is their anything special about the zen magnets? Anything that separates them from other small spherical magnets?

[@bluesoldier1141]

Magical properties beyond our understanding

[@skyr8449]

stronger, and better build quality

[@WhoSentBabies]

Pls do more vids love them

[@asfadassadaf8155]

Rest in peace.

Were do i buy them from i live in canada and i realy want them..

[@joegeoff1721]

Online the only place to get them and u have to order from China sadly

[@captainpayne172]

it is impossible to make this shape because it is so fussy. even the first step is unworkable.

[@ThePelicanKing]

Cameron Bigley did you every get it down? Everything has to be perfect.

[@fledgeart]

this guy has 30000 subs! and he hasn't posted in 3 years

[@jaredvail1798]

how do you get all your magnets @magenaut

[@peppple5442]

Jared Vail he died 3 years ago

[@ethanlovell65]

Can u Start making videos again

[@jb082598]

Auto focus isn't working

[@christyreilly2728]

[@peppple5442]

How did u find that out about him dieing

[@peppple5442]

R I P

[@phantomsleet6166]

Just noticed that his most recent vid was *3 god damn years ago*... just unsubscribed, I don't mess with channels that don't upload frequently.

[@skyr8449]

R.I.P?

[@Riccolo3]

Make another video plz

[@Sausketo]

dude this sucks, ive got these 10 year old buckyballs that have been sitting in a ball for at least 90% of that time, most of them are rusted and the magnetic field is all messed up so i can't even make shapes, and i only have 84 freakin' magnets because ive lost so many over the years

[@marquisjackson7594]

Oh My God! I thought none else was here

[@Sausketo]

Desert Eagle Mj yep im still here, i want to get some REAL zen magnets but they still cant sell the 5mm magnets, and i dont want to get the 2.5mm magnets because im going to loose them even easier, that and it would require SO much more dexterity because ive got some decently sized fingers...how are you desert eagle?

[@marquisjackson7594]

+Andrew Mayo desert eagle is just the name I was given on Xbox so I made it channel name to

[@Sausketo]

Desert Eagle Mj ah, well at least it's not something embarrassing like...mlpbroneylover6969, or something really stupid like that, whats your magnet situation looking like?

[@marquisjackson7594]

+Andrew Mayo I don't mess with magnets I just used to come here bc his magnet tricks are cool they look cool

[@diane_cat3481]

why no more ubloads

[@busykitty893]

challenge gamer nl people say he dies

[@zaidrawashdeh4144]

hey guys please tell me from where I get the zen magnets I have went every where,who knows please replay. thank you

[@altonious5736]

Import banned, gotta wait

[@waynebennett4482]

+Zaid Rawashdeh tmart.com is where i got mine

[@zaidrawashdeh4144]

Wayne Bennett but how will i find it i tried searching for it plz replay fast. Thank you

[@waynebennett4482]

+Zaid Rawashdeh search for buckyballs or neocubes or even just neodymium magnets. They have several different sizes.

[@jrod8099]

they are illeagle in america

[@thslumgodsupreme1901]

where do you get zen magnets

[@TheFulcrum2000]

+Geo Hd Why would simple magnets be illegal???

[@lilmxdebin3144]

+TheFulcrum2000 they swallow them at different times, they once in their organs, the magnetic field is strong enough to cause damage like rip through the intestines.

[@skyr8449]

r.i.p

[@robertsastupe8381]

This is too hard!!!

[@thatsaltybrit2603]

No video for 2 years y?

This Guy yes

[@njayyhehe1273]

+TeMmIe he died? why?

[@El-Piersan]

+The British/korean Guy the magnet are illegeal i america now

[@h1ddn_]

So his flickr or whatever, he stopped posting july 7th 2013 so he obviously died then, but he stopped uploading to google plus on sep 23 2013. So ether hes jesus and can die twice or he just gave up on the magnet thing for school.

[@Proudlion447]

Can someone donate some zen magnets to me? I'm a poor person ☹️

[@LinkTheGre4t]

dude... for 207 of them... its 72 dollers

[@Proudlion447]

+Link The Gre4t (Link The Gre4t) first of all, learn proper English, and second, 72 dollars is a lot of money

[@LinkTheGre4t]

+hannahtaz97 first shut the fuck up its called slang you 60 year old perv and second no shit

[@Proudlion447]

+Link The Gre4t (Link The Gre4t) "dollers" is slang? it's spelled dollars you idiot. and just because I know how to spell doesn't mean I'm some 60 year old perv

[@Will_Sax]
