Magnetic Phospholipid

This is a simple phospholipid model that can be constructed using two prints of the provided file, a ~3/8 inch cube magnet, and pieces of omni-tape.

By supergluing two prints together, a spherical chamber is created within which a cube magnet is housed. The dimensions of the chamber allow for a cube magnet that is ~3/8 inch on each side to spin its magnetic field, but not shift its magnetic field to any particular side. This creates a strong attraction between the heads of completed phospholipid models, and as new molecules are added to an existing chain or mass of molecules the magnets of the added molecules will spin in order to attract to the existing field.

The tails of the phospholipid are covered in strips of omni-tape, a kind of universal velcro. The tails are 4mm wide on each side and roughly 16mm long, so strips of omni-tape must be cut to appropriate size and then superglued to the exterior sides of each tail. An additional small square of omni-tape (approximately 4mm b
