Cool or Not

Looks really cool but looking at the price me thinks looks are deceiving.

I can’t help remembering the similar ads for Orrerys that seemed too good to be true. It might pay to be cautious here too.

Definitely cool but I have other magnetic levitation devices and getting them levitating can be quite a pain. I'd be thinking this one would take considerable time to float all components without failures.
If you have a power outlet you find the small, metallic balls laying on the floor with dings in them (personal experience).
