@Anyone Interested in MagSwitch

I found a retail product at HomeDepot that utilizes the MagSwitch magnets. I did some experimenting in the store. It is a very cool product. You can turn on and off the permanent magnet. It seems to be a pretty strong magnet too. If you hold the magnet in the air, the knob is pretty hard to turn. It is just a knob that you turn about 180 degrees. If you place the magnet on a ferrous surface then the knob is pretty easy to turn. Based on this, I agree with Archer that it would probably not be useful to us since it will take significant energy to turn the knob. Nevertheless, if anyone has the funds you should buy some for additional testing. This is a really interesting product and there will surely be many uses for it.

Here is the product I played around with http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10051&langId=-1&catalogId=10053&productId=100618240

@All
I have to say I've looked at the videos referenced to compare to Archers and have to say the loop he did was not what I saw in any other video. There may be elements of it but not the whole thing as executed by Archer. That's not negating anyone else's ideas.

I really find the civilness now very good. Don't mind the ocassional side track, but want to stay on the main track for clarity of purpose. I am really impressed with the recent progress and offers of mutual help.

So what do you want to build?

Hey Newt, I'm not sure if anyone has taken you up on this yet and/or if the offer is still open, but if it is I do have something I'd like you to try.
I've mocked it up in CorelDRAW but will transfer to AI if you're still offering to build.
