Using magnetism, Gandy has created a gravity defying executive desktop toy aptly named the Minus Gravity. This innovative gadget provides a tool that harnesses the power of physics in a CNC machined display. Watch the demonstration video below to learn more about the Minus Gravity and its unique mechanics.
“By dropping this high strength magnet between the Anti-Gravity Pillars, it appears to float, levitate, and slow down in time! It’s a truly fascinating and addictive experience. The heavy magnet appears to almost float in mid-air! Who is Minus Gravity for? Fidgeters…Thinkers…Engineers…The Person who has everything…People with Anxiety…Scientists… and just about anyone with an inquisitive mind!”
