magnetism.

- Harness the Power (within) -
.
When i was in 3rd grade, I won the science fair.
Maybe, it was because my dad built me an awesome device.
I now refer to it as the MAGNETIZER..
.
My initial question that sparked the project, and inspired my dad to help me, was:
"How can we harness the power of magnets?"
.
After some brainstorming, we created a device that looked like a windmill, but with two adjacent wheels held together on a rod.
These wheels were made of plexi-glass - with magnets drilled into the north, south, east and west points of each wheel.
The first wheel had a small handle, and when it was pushed, it also caused the second wheel to move as the magnets on both wheels interacted.
Thus, the energy / effort used to move only one wheel produced power to move both wheels!
If I had taken this further, I would've added many more wheels -
To find out how many other wheels can be moved by only moving one?
.
The wheels represent the thoughts within us...
When we move / shift just ONE thought,
It moves all the thoughts that come after it.
