If you want to duplicate it do it right. Find a stainless steel right and buy ceramic balls. Position the top ball so that it is about to fall through the support balls below it. Add a third level of balls so that the support balls from above are about to fall through the third layer balls, and finally add a fourth layer of balls similarly positioned so that the balls above them are just about to fall between them. This layer then must be restricted by the stainless steel ring so that the balls cannot move outward. Piece of cake!
Incidentally, the much more expensive StillPoints Ultra Fives are far superior to the Ultra SSs in most applications. They are also considerably more expensive.

- Strangely the Syn. Res. MIGs are second best. But - Norm 14:52:37 05/10/12 (5)
