Shiny!

Excellent time waster, and for the geeky, an excellent way to play with magnetic fields. What fun!

Cooler than it looks

This is a cool app. Shows beauty on iPad if you get the emitters to go slowly and have force against the dust. Very fun, and keeps me entertained. Can also make many shapes, and all sorts of cool designs if you play around long enough and figure out how. I recommend this app. It's fun!
