Base on the result of our experiment It shows that as the number of magnet
increases the greater its ability to attract objects.
It also shows that the increases in number if magenta the greater its ability of
repulsion and the ability to rotate.

It is proposed that the energy of the latent heat of fusion is required to overcome
viscous drag resistance introduced at melting. Assuming that the atoms are moving with
their thermal velocity in the liquid, the viscous resistance working against this movement
was calculated for melts formed from highly symmetrical packing arrangements. The
calculated energies correlate very well with experimentally determined latent heat
values.
