Abstract:
1. A magnetic construction assembly comprising: at least two panels, each of the panels having at least two magnet holders located around the perimeter of the panel for embedding and positioning magnets therein; magnets disposed in each of the magnet holders, each of the magnets having a dipole axis, the magnets being arranged in the magnet holders such that all of the dipole axes of magnets in a single panel are coplanar and intersect to define a polygon comprising an equilateral triangle; and at least two ferromagnetic spheres magnetically connected to magnets in the at least two panels, wherein two ferromagnetic spheres connect two adjacent panels such that a first ferromagnetic sphere attaches to a first magnet disposed on a first panel and a second magnet disposed on a second panel, and a second ferromagnetic sphere attaches to a third magnet disposed on the first panel and a fourth magnet disposed on the second panel, and wherein the dipole axes of the first magnet and the fourth magnet are collinear, and wherein the center of the first ferromagnetic sphere and the center of the second ferromagnetic sphere are collinear with the dipole axes of the first magnet and the fourth magnet.
