Skill flux

Skill flux is a unique product based on the phenomenon called Lenz’s law, designed and manufactured in Hungary. This physics-based gadget consists of an ultra-strong magnet ball and a conductive metal tube covered in fine leather for an absolute premium feel.

When users drop the ball in the cylinder, instead off falling through it starts to move very slowly, almost floating inside the metal tube without touching its surface. It is the perfect toy for someone who admires timeless design, fine craftsmanship and of course, the magic of science.
