Gid, yes. It generates a force equal to that of a black hole. Strong enough to bend the IR wave without affecting the rest of the spectrum. It's quite an amazing gadget that my 5 year old put together for a school project. Last I heard, he has applied for a patent but Leica is offering him a Tickle Me Elmo in exchange for the plans. I am trying to convince him not to accept the offer unless they throw in a PS# as well.
