Talk:Magic wheel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The article is wrong in at least this point: "Lead blocks magnetic attraction (as well as radiation)" It blocks radiation, but it does not have considerable influence on magnetism. This can easily be proved by simple experiment.

Also, there is another completely different Magic Wheel that is also known as "The Wheel of Hecate," "spinner", or "buzzer" which is of various shapes and usually made of wood. You probably played with one as a kid if your mom had a big button that had two holes in the middle. You put a loop of string through the two holes and spin it. It makes a neat whooshing sound. There's a lot of literature from ancient times about the Magic Wheel being a love charm that would bring lovers close or send away ones you didn't want. --HP Gramatke

Well that doesn't make it a POV issue. It makes it a factual inaccuracy issue, which is also in need of disambiguation.--Atlantima 01:59, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

Rewrote the questionable 3rd paragraph. Amcfreely 19:21, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Does it work? i.e., Does this arrangement cause the wheel to continue spinning longer than an identical wheel with plain weights instead of magnets? —Random832 21:21, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
