[tend2it]

@00TestDummy00 Haha .. a rocket ship

[Dragonemperor15]

@00TestDummy00 One thing I've noticed about youtube commenters..... They are all awful at pinpointing the time in a video for something they are talking about.

[TheStkguy]

toilet was so genius

[MultiSuperBoy9]

you do realise its doctor who theme tune

[TheSoFlyGuy1359]

Can you make these with 216 (original size) please answer!

[tend2it]

@TheSoFlyGuy1359 several of the smaller objects are one set ... larger ones require more sets ... I have a flickr(dot)com set from 2010 that shows the progression from one set used onward ... search for user tend2it and look for the 2010 set.

[ohno7ate9]

[jwspartan8]

@tend2it Hey do you know how to make the tank?

Because i might get these and i want to know how to make it.

[tend2it]

@jwspartan8 - its not too hard ... check out flickr(dot)com ... search for user tend2it ... then search for space tank and see the shots for more details ... thanks for looking.

[TheEmmington]

EPIC DOCTOR WHO SOUNDTRACK FOR EPIC MOMENTS :DDDDD

[tend2it]

@TheEmmington Thanks ... and it is Dr Who Proms 2010 Live music ... slightly different from the studio version.

[tend2it]

@tend2it found an except from the live concert this music was taken from (although the radio version is even slightly different) ... added it to the description above ...

[3U4NC4MPB311]

What is the song called ?

[TheLaserlord]

epic music for epic items :D

[GalaxyTraveler]

lol, most of the comments are about the toilet^^ Yes it's indeed fascinating, but there are also so many other cool things you did! I like your work - the old as well as the new :) And I think it were your pictures that inspired me using colored LED-illumination for my magnet-creations as well! I already had and loved this lighting-stuff before, but since I was new in "magneteering", you aroused my interest in combining both :)

[3mudflap]

if you put inception music in the backround it makes EVERYTHING dramatic

[out2of2this2world]

ohh try making the death star from star wars ^_^

[DeadlyDetox]

The music started and i came... DOCTOR FUCKING WHO!!

[wolfruler123]

They have glowing Zen magnets?

[tend2it]

@wolfruler123 Only with creative know how and special lighting

[IntenseDarknessable]

This is like Minecraft... there is nothing you can't do. xD

[tend2it]

@IntenseDarknessable Very true ... only limited to your imagination

[w00tbeatlesrock]

@IntenseDarknessable OMG Yes!!

[jckmell]

@IntenseDarknessable In minecraft you can't do circles.

[omaro758]

What's the song in the backround?

[tend2it]

@omaro758 Audio = "I am the Doctor!" except from Dr Who Proms 2010 Live - Season 5

[memamew]

what's so cool about a toilet?

[tend2it]

@memamew a unique design and lighting not normally seen

[WithShadesofWhite]

these zen magnets are frustrating...ironic much?

[ToMuse11]

Doctor Who series 5!!!!

[tend2it]

@likesknifes Thanks ... Yes, that toilet is my design ... I need to find some time to make a "how to" for it one of these days ... It is made up of diff sized rings(tank), a rectangle layered sheet(tank), a hexagon sheet(cover). In the meantime, I do have various angled shots of all of my designs in this video over at flickr(dot)com (specifically to allow some reverse engineering). Search tend2it under People to find the Zen Magnets (2010) + Neocubes gallery. Hope that this will help.

[tend2it]

@tend2it - Here is some additional details that may help ...

ZEN MAGNETS - Neodymium Magnetic Balls (@199) The Throne / Toilet / Potty - major components:

Tank=(2 x (5 x 7 ball rectangle) +

Cover=(37 ball hexagon w/center filled ... start out with a 6-ring and layer outward)+

Bowl Base(2x(6 hex inside+12 outer ring ... coupled/parallel outer ring ... see note below))+

Bowl Seat(2x(11 inner ring+17 outer ring ... coupled/parallel outer ring ... see note below))

[tend2it]

Use pictures to see how it fits together ... the magnet polarity is important to get it to fit right.

Trick for the oval shape of the bowel sections ... instead of using linked or in-between magnet connections, use coupled/parallel connections ... linked connection will always give an outer hexagon shape whereas reversing the stand in the opposite direction will create a coupled or parallel bond to the inside magnets making it more round. Then slightly flatten two sides to get it more oval.

[TheCurtisEFlush]

The only mistake you made here is that you imply that there is an equivalent quality magnet brand... Zen Magnets wins :P

[tend2it]

@TheCurtisEFlush Haha ... no mistake ... I wasn't implying equivalent quality ... I was imply equivalent neodymium magnetic balls. But I agree ... Zens all the way!

[coolcory27]

some of these figures are really cool

[tend2it]

@coolcory27 - Thanks ... I tried to break the mold of geometric shapes and create some fun stuff.

[tend2it]

@KommeyKakka asked: what is better Nanodots or Zen Magnets? - No experience with Nanodots ... btwn Zens, Buckyballs, Neocubes ... Zens have the best quality.

[saxplayingcompnerd]

Nice video, what program did you use to edit?

[tend2it]

@saxplayingcompnerd

Thanks ... I used MuVee autoProducer 5.0 in windows.

MuVee autoProducer is a nice package for photo montage to music and also for interspersing video clips. It has various themes you can select to create the overall style.  Very easy to use.

[ZenMagnet]

Thumbs up!

[tend2it]

@ZenMagnet - thanks a bunch! ... Your product RULES!!!!!

[meevybaby]

nice! that last one with the green light is awsome!

[tend2it]

@meevybaby - Thanx ... that light effect was created with a star constellation green laser. The rest of the light effects were created by either under lighting the magnets with leds or projecting led light on the surface ... the reflective mirror qualities of coating create that cool effect for the in-camera shot ... no photoshop needed.

[Pigwedgen14]

Awesome video! Or should I say epic! I love the music when the dog and toilet come in. Fits perfectly. Don't do it Fido!

[tend2it]

@Pigwedgen14 - Thanx ... the music was from the BBC radio broadcast of this TV concert ... which is slightly different with more louder sound effects ... search "Doctor Who Proms TV 2010 - I Am The Doctor (2)" for the actual clip
