GEOMAG is an ingenious system of simple construction made of magnetic rods and chromed steel spheres. A huge number of shapes, geometric figures, models of every kind and dimension, wonderful bidimensional and tridimensional realistic models can be infinitely constructed.
GEOMAG stimulates creativity and logical reasoning; it develops manual abilities and sense of proportion and allows to test one's own ability in constructing anything. The variety of the shapes and their transformations make it possible to renew structures continuously.
It's ideal for "kids of every age" (from 6 to 99!) who can enter the fascinating world of magnetism! An amusing activity to give vent to one's own fantasy, but a clever one too! As a matter of fact, with GEOMAG it is easy to learn some fundamental natural laws of physics and geometry and to approach the first notions of chemistry, architecture, engineering and more in a simple and spontaneous way.
But there's more! GEOMAG can also become an amusing pastime for the whole family, reuniting parents and children in an activity of extraordinary creativity: the pleasant shapes made with GEOMAG can also become elegant decorative objects to display in your home. But the surprise does not end here, because GEOMAG also appeals to adults, even to the most serious managers and professionals who see it as a 'Stress Buster'.
THE MAIN ELEMENTS OF GEOMAG
GEOMAG is made up of two structurally very simple elements:
a) a nickel-plated steel sphere (ø mm. 12.7);
b) a plastic rod (27 mm. length and 7.4 mm. max diameter) featuring two permanent magnets placed at the two extremities and a steel plug positioned between the two magnets GEOMAG.
If the sphere is drawn near to an extremity of the rod, as shown in figure 1, it is attracted. The same operation can be repeated on the other extremity of the rod, thus generating the first ‘compact module’ to which to attach other rods and other spheres. Starting from simple polygons, you will gradually be able to create larger, more complex, and more amusing ones (even with the help of friends, and also of mum and dad, if necessary).
This is the first step constructing bidimensional shapes of various dimensions, simple models, and complex tridimensional structures.
Up to 14 rods can be attached to a single sphere
Geomag is not just a construction toy, but also a useful tool for learning. Like the other famous building games, Geomag stimulates the development of creative capacities, but more than other similar games it has a unique and specific feature: the power of magnetism. Using Geomag makes it possible to demonstrate many fascinating phenomena with great simplicity, finding the answers to various basic rules of nature and the universe: from how a simple compass works - which so fascinated even the young Einstein - to the great mysteries of the magnetic field of the earth.
Geomag makes stimulating and creative what can often appear boring and incomprehensible: this is the aspect which makes it unique and different from all other construction systems. The results achieved are intrinsically related to the magnetic force of its bars, and the capacity to exploit the universal laws which control this.
Plus… no noise and no waste of batteries or energy… just the stimulation of the capacity to reflect, and to bring your own fantasy and imagination into play.
Geomag is available in many different colours, styles and sizes of set, and yet all are interchangeable and compatible with eaxh other.
Please note that Geomag Panels Panels sets are only compatable with Geomag Sets, and will not fit or works properly if used with other Magnetic Construction Brands.
Magnetix are intelligent toys for children aged 6 to 100 - for creative simulations, for mental and physical excursions, plus hours upon hours of playing while making sense of things.
Children see and understand the world much differently than adults. As there are no limits or restrictions regarding how to play with this range of products. Magnetix offers unlimited possibilities for children to express their creativity and imagination. Children's imagination will grow through their natural desire to discover and create with Magnetix.
Developing fine motor skills requires patience, practice and determination. The tangible nature of playing and manipulating Magnetix gives your child opportunities to develop muscle movement and hand-to-eye coordination.
Keeping mentally active and interpreting sensory information while playing expands children's ability to reason and problem-solve. Magnetix encourages them to more accurately combine their interpretation with prior knowledge, thereby discovering, learning and executing strategies necessary to produce desired effects.
Magnetix is compatable with Geomag, with respect to how the product functions through Magnetic Interactions between the Balls and Stix. However please note that accessories such a panels to build stronger structures are not interchangeable between the 2 brands, due to slightly different stick dimensions.
