Memo to self: Never ever get near that thing with credit cards, hard drives, memory keys or dentures made of ferrous materials.

No magnets involved. Heck, the wires are visible! Look at the dark band of the ceiling to the right side, you can see the wires best there. Still extremely cool. I assume there's a little motor winching each ball. A computer controls the winches to raise or lower them.

Yes AWM, but I am sure magnets are somewhere in the project!
