Models are constructed by magnetically connecting the rods and spheres together in a lattice formation. Homemade experiments show that each stick can produce up to roughly 4.116N of force when attracting iron.

GEOMAG is a versatile magnetic construction set composed of magnetic rods and steel spheres. With these two basic elements, a huge number of geometric shapes and structures can be built.

Structures can easily be built and easily taken apart - thus providing young (or mature) builders with more opportunities to let their imagination and ideas take shape. They teach children important lessons about problem solving, creativity, math, physics, and much more. It doesn't break, doesn't make noise, and keeps kids entertained for hours on end.

GEOMAG was named the 2005 Toy of the Year by the Toy Industry Association.

They are also a popular office desktop toy - as in executive toy. Also they are increasingly used in more serious mathematical and scientific presentations due to their fast assembly, alteration and breakdown.
