Bubble Icosahedrons Compared | Neodymium Magnetic Balls @ledwatchman

My versions of a neodymium ball magnet shape invented by Szaki. Thanks also to COCOAUB, sxeStracraft, and saxplayingcompnerd for construction ideas for the shapes in this video.
My version of a giant 12 sphere cluster here uses icosahedron spheres made with interlocked triangles of 18 magnet balls each, 20 of those per sphere, 12 spheres make up the large form.
Magnets used on the biggie = 18 x 20 x 12 = 4320 balls.
The smaller one uses 12 x 60 = 720 balls
(50/50 gold coated and nickel coated)
Music is the Waltz in A flat op. 39 No.15 by Brahms.

5 Scalable Seamless Polyhedrons | Tutorial | 127 to 272 Neodymium Magnetic Balls

$Fractal Cluster Complex | 8700 Neodymium Magnetic Balls Inspired by the work of HYPRKLSTRKMPLX, in particular his Quasicrystal Cluster Complex: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDXs6u8kl6E ...and Hyper Cluster Matrix: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vciCInYfrm0 My structure uses a lot less magnets but creates a fractal pattern of quasi self-similarity: that is, not exactly identical at the smaller scale, but with an analogous structure. 12 icosahedral clusters are surrounding a golden 13th core cluster, with each of these 13 clusters made from 12 smaller outer pieces with a 13th golden mini core inside them. Total exact magnet count: 12 × 12 × 46 (nickel coloured outer pieces) + 12 × 122 (2 layer golden mini cores inside the outer nickel clusters) + 12 × 46 (central golden core cluster outer pieces) + 60 (mini golden core inside the central golden core) = a grand total of 8700 5mm diameter neodymium magnetic balls.
