Building the Fastest Turning Rubik's Cube Possible

TLDRIn this video, the creator attempts to build the fastest turning Rubik's Cube possible by making modifications to the hardware and adding weights. The cube features maglev tensions and magnets for reduced friction and increased controllability. After several iterations, the cube achieves incredible turning speeds and reaches up to a U12 turn.

Key insights

🔧The creator replaces the traditional screwing spring structure with maglev tensions to reduce friction and improve performance.

🧲The cube features magnets to provide additional controllability and stability during turns.

💪Adding weights to the cube, such as dimes or small magnets, increases its rotational inertia and allows for longer spinning times.

🪣Lubricating the cube with fast lubes like DNM-37 and Max Fleet improves its smoothness and speed during turns.

🏎️The modified cube achieves incredible turning speeds, reaching up to a U12 turn.
