9種高逼格桌上小玩具 你值得擁有(上)

Torqbar

1.指間陀螺

This "executive" gadget is an exquisite piece of work that's been called "the iPhone of desk toys." Made with materials including used titanium, tellurium copper, and zirconium, the Torqbar feels solid in your hands—its metal edges are smoothed out, and its ball-bearing assembly makes no noise.

這種高級的小玩具做工精細，被稱爲“桌上玩具中的iPhone”。其製作材料包括鈦、碲、銅、鋯。你拿在手裏會覺得它非常堅固——它的金屬邊緣打磨得很光滑，而且它的滾珠軸承不會發出一點聲音。

tic Sand

2.動力沙

Kinetic sand is a great alternative to regular sand—it doesn't make a mess, but you can still build things with it.

動力沙可以很好地代替普通的沙子——它不會撒得到處都是，但你仍然可以用它來堆東西。

The mixture is 98% natural sand and 2% "magic"—otherwise known as a synthetic polymer called Polydimethyl Siloxane which helps it mimic the physical properties of wet sand. The polymers keep the sand bonded and make clean up super easy.

動力沙由98%的天然沙子和2%的特殊材料製成，這種特殊材料是一種合成聚合物，名爲聚二甲基硅氧烷，它讓動力沙呈現出溼沙子的物理性質，可以讓沙子聚攏，也更容易清理。

In September 2015, creator Scott McCoskery sold his first Torqbar online for about $300, and by the next year, had a full-blown business. Today, it is sold in versions that start at $139 and can reach $800 for custom-made gadgets in which the buyer chooses the material and finish on the metal.

2015年9月，它的發明者斯科特在網上賣出去了第一個指間陀螺，賣了300美元，而到第二年，他的生意就做大了。如今，指間陀螺出了很多不同的版本，便宜的139美元，定製版則高達800美元（定製版指買家可自由選擇材料和金屬表面的修飾）。

3.3D Printed Magnetic Pyramid

3.3D打印磁金字塔

ServiceBrand Global created a 3D printed executive desk toy, which, in and of itself, is fun and entertaining to play with, but what it stands for is equally significant.

3D打印磁金字塔是一款高逼格的桌上玩具，其內部構造及其整體都非常具有趣味性和娛樂性，並且，它所象徵的東西也非常有意義。

The almost trophy-looking toy sits on one of its points within a stand meant for display on an executive desk. It features two pyramids—one internal and one external—as well as four separate detachable elements for each of the three levels that make up the pyramid. It uses neodymium magnets to hold it together and is definitely unlike anything we've ever seen before.

這件玩具看上去像是一座獎盃，它的角可以插在底座的孔裏，這樣放在辦公桌上更美觀。它的構造其實是兩個金字塔——一個在外部，一個在內部——整個玩具分三層，每層由四個單獨的可拆卸的部件拼湊而成，三層拼到一起就是一個完整的金字塔。這件玩具使用的材料是釹磁鐵，所以每個部件可以直接拼到一起，可謂是前無古人。

e Fluid

4.鐵磁流體

A Houston-based company, Fluux Design Lab has created this futuristic toy that uses magnets to distort Ferrofluid that was employed by NASA's Steve Papell as a liquid rocket fuel in 1963.

流變設計實驗室是休斯頓的一家公司，他們設計出了這款新潮玩具，利用磁鐵讓鐵磁流體變形，鐵磁流體是一種新型的功能材料，美國國家航空航天局的史蒂夫（Steve Papell）曾於1963年將鐵磁流體作爲火箭液體燃料使用。

This unique fluid is teased from within its container using supplied magnetic wands. Watch the video below to learn more about how it works!

用附贈的磁棒就可以隨心所欲地控制容器內的特殊流體。
