no, what you do is build two concentric circles (one smaller)

on the inside of the big ring, you put a row of P magnets

and on the outside of the small ring, you put an equal number of N magnets

and then you hook it up to your ice cream maker

and you gots ice cream for life

also known as

perpetual indigestion

***

i do like the play on the clacky-ball thing though. or is it like a Buddhist instrument?

If you have no ice cream I will take it away from you

I found the ones above while searching for the origins of this GIF:

perpetum

Which I like, but I think I prefer the clacky balls one just for sheer absurdity/elegance. There's only so much content that you load into an animated GIF.

That's hilarious, (and such a worthy area of investigation, one wonders if the internets have more stuff along that line)
