Abstract: A magnetic panel system for the construction of structures is disclosed that includes sets of polygonal connector bodies, constructed of plastic or other suitable material, that have corners, edges, and endpoints of rods that are substantially rounded. Hollow, spherical sockets are defined in the corners of the connector bodies with spherical magnets contained therein. The free rotation around any axis that is provided by spherical magnets within spherical sockets assures alignment of magnet fields and mutual attraction of adjacent bodies in many configurations including face-to-face, edge-to-edge, and corner-to-corner combinations, something unavailable with other magnet shapes. Furthermore, equal spacing of sockets in bodies assures magnets are in consistent proximity to other magnets in adjacent bodies.

Abstract: A magnetic panel system for the construction of structures includes sets of polygonal panel bodies, preferably constructed using plastic or other suitable material, that have corners, edges, and endpoints of rods that are substantially rounded to conform to the accommodation of a plurality of hollow spherical sockets around the perimeter of the polygonal bodies, containing spherical magnets. Although spherical magnets are localized with a clearance in said hollow spherical sockets, they are free to rotate within due to external magnetic fields produced by magnets in other similarly constructed bodies. Free rotation of spherical magnets assures alignment of magnet fields and universal mutual attraction of adjacent bodies in a multitude of configurations including face-to-face, edge-to-edge, and corner-to-corner combinations. Equal spacing of sockets in bodies assures magnets are in consistent proximity to other magnets in adjacent bodies.
