Kikkerland Magnetic 1 Minute Hourglass

Product Information

Answer: Well, it is made of glass, so we don't recommend juggling with it. But, it's definitely sturdy enough for life on a tabletop or desk. Next comes the design of the protective frame, which can be made up of one or more parts depending on the manufacturer. Each turn of the hourglass has a slightly different result, so you’ll sit, completely mesmerised, as you watch the time run out and wait for the next turn! If only each passing minute could be that entertaining when you’re in a doctor’s waiting room… Figure 4. Plot of the r-component of the model magnetic field at z = 0.26 R. The fitting parameters are k 1 = 0.9549, k 2 = 0.4608, k 3 = 0.6320, R = 3.8918, h = 0.3257, and B 0 = 3.3118.

Also, watching the flow of fine sand or any other fine particle seems to have relaxing benefits for the mind and body. This makes it a simple solution to reduce stress and insomnia. Disadvantages

About Kikkerland Magnetic Hourglass

The first step in making an hourglass—usually made of glass— is shaping it while it is extremely hot and malleable. This requires the very precise techniques of the glass industry.

Fitting polarization data requires a different approach. Polarization maps, such as the ones published by Girart et al. ( 2006, 2009), only convey the morphology of the field lines, but not the field strength. Thus, fitting can be performed by minimizing the angle between the model magnetic field vectors and the vectors obtained from the polarization data. Keep watching and pretty soon (after one minute to be precise) you're left with a fuzzy ball of iron filings holding the hourglass and the base together. So, if you want a brilliant desk ornament that’s sure to distract you from your work (but you really won’t care) or maybe just a fun way to time your tooth-brushing (with a turn halfway through), then you need this marvellous Magnetic Hourglass! Get yours this minute… we’ll happily time you!Also, they’re not always practical or suitable for all uses and situations, such as measuring very short periods of time or using in extreme (very hot or cold) environments.

The sand will flow through the small opening left between the two containers until it runs out. No, not necessarily. Contrary to this popular belief, sand can be replaced by other substances, provided that they have similar characteristics to certain types of sand.
