    The Moyu 21 is actually a 3x3 inside a 7x7 inside a 13x13 inside a 17x17 inside a 21x21 (you can pause at 9:34 to look at which shell each layer is hooked under). At 6:54 you can also clearly see which pieces belong to the internal 7x7. Moyu themselves called it a quintuple center mechanism. This means that in theory you should be able disassemble the shallowest shell (or innemost 2 layers) to play with the 4 deeper shells like a 17x17, and likewise play with only the 3 deeper shells intact like a 13x13 and so on. Those lower-layerd cubes formed by assembling an incomplete set of deeper shells would be functional as they have enough parts to hook in place, but unstable due to gaps left behind for the shallower shells to fill up.
    The hollow design seen on all the wings first appeared in the Meilong 12, and is later featured in the 13, 8 and 9 (which are not the same cubes as the MF 8 and 9).
    2 extra points:
    The Moyu 21 also features an extremely scaled up version of the Aofu/Aochuang GTS's anti misalign mech. The Moyu 15 is also known to do this
    I suspect that the middle layer is actually smaller than the screw. This is technically an impossible design due to the screw having to pass through the center piece in order to assemble the cube. However, with some clever center cap design the designers got around this problem. The Meilong 13 features this too.

    Video Idea: Making a speedcube with the most magnets possible in it
    Rules:
    The magnets must have a purpose, so you can't just place random magnets to fill space
    You can't stack magnets either because that is just more random magnets
    The magnets don't have to help with the turning but they should still have a purpose
    I have an idea for a cube with 278 magnets in it but I don't know how to make a cube and I don't have the materials to build it and it would be super expensive so I can't make it. But maybe you can make a cube with more that 278 magnets.

    I think the holes in the pieces are to reduce weight. My biggest is the mfjs 13x13, which is a nice even liter in volume, but it's more than half air. I think if it were any heavier, it would be a real chore to solve in your hands, but as it is, it's surprisingly doable.
