Building an Icosahedron of R60 Mini Sphere Clusters | 5760 Neodymium Magnetic Balls @ledwatchman

Uploaded June 2014 | Updated September 2026, 1 hour ago

96 R60s (60-ball mini spheres), joined in clusters of 7 to a central cluster of 12, to form a large and strong icosahedron frame. The finished frame has 12 connections to the core as well as 30 edges.

$Alien DNA? Hexagonal Triple Helix Fractal | 3 Stages | Neodymium Magnetic Balls Its my 10th anniversary since uploading my first magnet video on September 24th 2010, so Id like to say thanks to all my viewers over the years, and especially to my subscribers, both old and new, for your interest in my magnet art channel ☺️. For this occasion I decided to revisit the concept of magnet helixes and DNA-like forms, but in a new way. Presented here are 3 stages of a fractal pattern based on hexagonal geometry, forming a triple helix instead of the double helix of human and earthly DNA. I used a repeated triangular unit of 42 balls made from 3 rhombuses, with many of the units slightly trimmed using 38 balls each instead. The three helixes intersect with each other cyclically in iteration 1. Rose gold indicates a stabilising core of 3 units halfway between each 360° helical cycle, which make the structure stronger. Iterations 2 and 3 are built successively around the outside of iteration 1, by adding sets of 3 units in a symmetrical pattern. Continuous quasi-helical lines form around the outside of each stage, which I have indicated with yellow gold ball decoration. Iteration 3, the final and largest one, could only support itself in a vertical orientation, and uses about 140 units for a total of around 5500 Neoballs and Neocube magnets (5mm diameter).
