Unveiling the Secrets of Gan Magnetic Cubes
Magnets are at the core of magical effects like levitation. By producing invisible magnetic fields that attract or repel objects based on their respective poles, magnets create subtle yet potency magical effects.
GAN is an award-winning Chinese cube manufacturer known for their groundbreaking 3x3 designs and meticulous, innovative craftsmanship. Their cubes have broken numerous world and continental records and come highly endorsed by some of the top speedcubers worldwide.
1. The GES Nut System
GAN has developed one of the most innovative features on the market - the GES Nut System - allowing for adjustable spring tension by rotating its screwhead nut, providing greater precision of adjustment than traditional methods. Available in various colors to correspond with different levels of tension - black providing maximum tension while white and orange providing less.
The 356 Air was the first cube to utilize this system, and many professional speedcubers (such as Feliks Zemdegs ) switched from MoYu cubes to Gan cubes due to their superior feel. Today, this same GES nut system can also be found on more modern GAN models like Mirror M.
GAN's GES Pro dual elasticity system was designed to give you even greater adjustment than their standard GES nuts. This system features two nuts - one clear and one slightly smaller colored - which are turned with a special tool to set tension. Each can be turned to set six levels of GTN tension or four of GES tension; giving a total of nine adjustment possibilities!
This GES nut system has been successfully employed on the GAN Pyraminx Magnetic 4x4, one of the first magnetic 4x4s ever made. Boasting excellent corner cutting capabilities and classic honeycomb design, this puzzle is ideal for anyone searching for high performance magnetic cubes. Additionally, this system excels when applied to non-magnetic GAN RSC 3x3 cubes which combine durability with exceptional performance - two qualities which this puzzle boasts in abundance!
2. Interchangeable Magnet Rods
Magnet rods (sometimes referred to as rotating magnet sticks or spin-bar magnets) first made their debut appearance in Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis and allow a player to alter a Mini's path by touching one of these objects with his or her finger, as well as flip multiple of them at once.
Magnetic cubes utilize small magnets glued into each corner and edge piece that attract when they come together after turning, helping to stabilize it and avoid overshooting its target position. Neodymium rod magnets are typically the strongest magnet material commercially available.
Ganyuan Jiang, creator of GAN Cube brand and Chinese 3x3 national speed-solving record holder, has introduced groundbreaking innovations into magnet technology for cubes. Some of his premium cubes feature optional extra hex rods which add stronger magnetic attraction between layers while also speeding up turning performance.
Hex rods can be installed quickly by unscrewing pre-installed triangle headed rods by twisting each corner counterclockwise until they unlock, then sliding the locking bar into place by hand - an effortless process which reduces dependence on magnetometers for higher duty cycle magnetic rods with faster maneuver times.
3. Customizable Spring Tensions
GAN speed cubes are known for their smooth rotation and unique features such as the GES nut system and interchangeable magnet rods. Speed is GAN's top priority; several world-renowned professional speedcubers endorse its products.
GAN has successfully created an adjustment system that enables consistent and precise setting of cube spring tension. To accomplish this feat, they employ a unique form of adjustment; rather than screws like other manufacturers do, GAN's GES system allows users to change each blue nut's strength by turning clockwise or counterclockwise with their puzzle tool provided with each puzzle - each notched hex rod represents different spring compression levels; higher numbers indicate stronger springs.
GAN's latest flagship, the Mirror M, features the GES system for optimal corner cutting performance and faster feel than its standard Little Magic counterpart with 48 magnets, screw/spring adjustment system and excellent corner cutting abilities. Furthermore, this 2021 update introduces new clear hex rods equipped with internal springs for even further performance enhancements.
4. Fast Turning
GAN Magnetic Cubes are known for their smooth rotation feel and fast speed. With multiple customizable features that enable you to optimize performance for optimal cube usage - such as their revolutionary new GES+ system allowing quicker tuning times than ever.
The GE System consists of magnet rods connected to corner and edge pieces which provide instantaneous connection, eliminating friction for smoother layer turns and overshooting prevention. As a result, this faster cube requires less fiddly movements while being more accurate than regular speed cubes.
GES cubes offer more control than standard speed cubes due to not using screws to adjust spring tension, giving you precise control of each spring tension adjustment resulting in uniform, consistent adjustment across all sides of the cube and providing greater algorithm execution speed and more precise solves.
GAN is a Chinese brand specializing in magnetic speed cubes that designs, manufactures and distributes them worldwide. GAN has earned a significant presence within the speedcubing community for their innovative and intricate designs, often including never-before-seen features like their groundbreaking GES Nut System and interchangeable Magnet Rods - favorites among top professional speedcubers such as Feliks Zemdegs and Max Park among many others.
