Check out my community post for a close-up look at the magnet layout diagrams and magnet repulsion graphs: ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx5Fbko-2zcowewvgW3WzuUt_P9KLPbXsy Note that the cube depicted in the diagrams isn't exactly the Aosu v7, and it is in fact the example cube from my "How to design a 4x4 Rubik's cube" series. The diagrams exist mainly to accurately portray the magnet layouts, while the accuracy of the actual mechanism is not the main focus, and it was symmetrically neater to trace over a cube that I already have a 3d model of.
Great video! The pictures and graphs were really helpful and explained why I don't like how my innermost layers turn on even big cubes. (I probably won't get the Tornado v4 Pioneer) Moyu was really quite clever here, and I wish their implementation was better.
Ironically, Qiyi has done middle layer thing long before Moyu did with the Valk 2. It was quite strange to see them implement the opposite with the Tornado v4.
I've noticed with my double track aosu v7 that the inner layers will sometimes turn without the outer layer - when im doing a wide U turn and I put my force on the inner layer only, it will occasionally turn only the inner layer and the outer layer will stay still. Is this an issue you've noticed with the triple track?
N40 3x1 The original magnets were 3mm diameter 2mm height, and the magnet slots were fitting almost exactly, so the replacement magnets need the same diameter (to fit in) and a shorter height (to be weaker), and for added security I decided not to rely on friction like the original magnets did, so I superglued the smaller magnets into the magnet slots.
Can you make a core magnet tutorial for 4x4? I've watched some of your older videos (more specifically the QY M Pro 4x4 vs Meilong 4M) and saw that you had corner to core magnets. Any tips or even better, a tutorial on how to make that?
By any chance did you try simply removing those unglued magnets on the triple track? Do you think it’s really necessary to replace them with weaker ones? Maybe the green circuit is enough by itself.
I just tried that, and it's bad. The magnetic strength is too weak, so the slices don't align well. Replacing them with weaker magnets is the way to go. Another option is to glue in some weaker conventional edge-to-edge magnets.

It makes sense maybe that's why I like gan 2x2. I should check valk 2.

Great video, what are the specifications of the weakest magnets you used to replace in your triple track?

Yes! New vid!

Nice video !!!!
There appears to be a repelling edge magnet slot in the inner edge piece. I wonder if that was reminent of an earlier prototype.

It's possible, but didn't think of that
