Summary

The force of attraction of the two magnets in the middle of the two arcs - besides the three threads connecting the saucer and the base - build the tension in this object. It's a bit magical how the physical conditions create a tension that makes this object a unit - a perfect unit. At first sight a bit confusing ... you have to look twice to understand the principle.
