Magnetki so kul!

Ta teden sta (končno!) prispela rezultata dveh crowdsourcanih (»množicanje« mi nekako ne sede) projektov – RaceDots in Polar pen. Prvi projekt je uporabna zadeva – pet parov magnetkov, s katerimi pritrdiš tekaško številko na majico. V bistvu rabiš štiri, en je pa rezerva. Prispeli so na kartončku, ki je uporaben tudi za shranjevanje.

From time to time I’m contributing to some crowdsourcing project and this time I’ve (finally!) received two magnetic products – RaceDots and Polar pen. The first one is set of five magnets which can be used to attach race number to your clothing.

Pogled na zgornjo in spodnjo stran. Na spodnji strani zgornjega magnetka je izboklina, ki poskrbi, da se oba dela dobro usidrata.

RaceDots from above and from below. The upper part has a small bump which locks to the bottom ring.

Ne vem še, kako se pikice obnesejo v praksi, je pa hči dokazala, da so spodobno močne:)

I don’t yet know how well they’ll function in practice but they are certainly strong enough to work.

Drugi projekt, Polar, je kemično pisalo, sestavljeno iz magnetkov. Zabavna zadeva, sploh ko otrokom kažeš, česa so magneti sposobni.

The second project is a pen + stylus made from magnets. It may not be very practical but it certainly is a great toy.

Spodnja slika je pobrana s spletišča proizvajalca in prikazuje samo nekaj primerov »praktične rabe«.

The picture below is published on the Polar pen web and shows just a few examples of practical “use”.
