Frequently asked questions
What's included in a set?
What's included in a set?
Two cubes of identical size — one tungsten heavy alloy and one precipitation-hardened aluminum alloy. Sets come in 1 cm, 0.5", 1", 1.5", 2", and 2.5" sizes.
How big is the weight difference?
How big is the weight difference?
Tungsten at about 18 g/cm³ is more than six times as dense as aluminum at 2.7 g/cm³. In the 1.5" set, the tungsten cube weighs about 2.2 lb while the same-size aluminum cube weighs about a third of a pound.
What are the cubes made from?
What are the cubes made from?
Aerospace grade tungsten heavy alloy and precipitation-hardened aluminum alloy, machined to matching dimensions.
Are they safe to handle?
Are they safe to handle?
Yes. Solid tungsten alloy is inert, non-radioactive, and non-toxic, and aluminum is equally safe — the whole point of the set is handing someone both cubes at once.
Who is this set for?
Who is this set for?
Anyone who enjoys a hands-on demonstration of density: two identical-looking cubes that feel completely different in hand. A natural fit for a desk at work or a side table at home, and a reliable conversation piece.
