Colorful Magnetic Hourglass

Mesmerizing Magnetic Sand

In reality, this is not sand, but magnetic iron filings . Once turned over the hourglass will work the same way as a basic hourglass. Except that the magnetization of the wires will produce fantastic sculptures.

Watch in awe as the iron-infused sand trickles down, forming delicate, spiky structures due to the hidden magnetic forces within the wooden base. Each flip brings a new, unique formation, turning each moment into a small, scientific spectacle.

A reinvention of the traditional hourglass made for science, while keeping its decorative side. This hourglass is secured with a magnet installed in the wooden base, for the clumsier ones.
