the thought of the moment, is how do you even post something like this in teh mail. would not the package stick to other packages (that'd be kindof funny and creepy)
the thing is as wide as the palm of my hand and it can lift 181 KIL0GRAMS!! that's almost 3 times my weight.

I've got a couple of them already, not that size, or else I wouldn't be posting
I'm going for these next http://www.gaussboys.com/product_info.p ... ucts_id=63

Awesome.
In our physics class my teacher had kind of a rope swing hooked up by a Neodynium (sp?) magnet and an electromagnet. I don't know how you can have both at once, but apparently they can both be in the same magnet. Run an electric current through the neodynium, and it gets stronger. It would be awfully scary to get on that thing just trusing the magnet, but there were times when three of us tried to pull it down and couldn't do it.

The density of the magnetic field drops quickly with increasing distance.
I've got a couple of woofer magnets I pulled from large loudspeakers, I think they can lift more than 20kg because once stuck on a metal surface, the only way to pry it loose is to slide it (scratching galore) off..
Too bad magnets are very sensitive to shocks. Dropping them may break them or diminish their field (or in some cases, even reverse the field!)

The website mentioned something about the magnets being fragile and that when they break the fragments can be quite sharp.Duper wrote:WARNING:: This magnet can cause serious bodily injury. Only for seriously seasoned magnet handlers
Um.. why?
Obivously I'm NOT an experienced magnet handler..
Plus, I suppose the stronger magnets could squash your hand against a piece of metal.

Think about a magnet that is small enough to fit in your hand, but strong enough to hold AceCombat in the air... then think about what would happen if AceCombat stood on your hand.Duper wrote:WARNING:: This magnet can cause serious bodily injury. Only for seriously seasoned magnet handlers

I am so totally e-mailing this to my physics teacher right now.
400lbs of force? You might get a little more than just a lawsuit..Stryker wrote:Put one of those magnets on the opposite side of your torso with a metal plate. Then you'll see what they mean.
On second thought, I'd probably get sued--you'd better not.

I have a lot of magnets and ones like this hold really strong when they are against metal, but when they get around three or four inches away from metal or a little bit further away from another magnet, they don't have enough strength to lift themselves. So a few inches of padding is enough to keep it from sticking to the UPS truck.
Usually when ordering several magnets, they put them side by side which does a great job of containing the magnetic field to a much smaller area, so less padding is required.
I bet they still would affect anything that is sensitive to magnetic fields nearby. One of these magnets can cause the picture on your monitor to wiggle from 3 or 4 feet away.

Here's my question: your have a little iron in your blood stream, right? have they come up with a magnet big enough that if you get too close to you it can kill yourself by ripping all of the iron out of body? (or do iron ions not have the same magnetic properties- I don't remember, and I don't know if the iron in your body is all in the form of ions, though I assume that it is.)

First of all, you cannot affect the iron in your blood because of the molecular state that it is in, namely oxidized. Iron Oxide, also known as rust, isn't affected by magnetism.
Second, the reason they give strict warnings to using this magnet is because the power is so intense that if it gets close enough to ferrous metal or another magnet, it can slam together with enough force to crush your fingers.

In the movie they injected iron into his system so he could pull it out, it wasn't his blood that he pulled it out from.Top Gun wrote:So you mean that great scene in X-2 with Magneto wasn't physically possible? Damn!
If anything if you put a really strong magnetic field over your body, it will be pushed away because the water in your body is slightly diamagnetic. A magnetic field that strong couldn't be created by a fixed magnet.
I've been able to push an ice cube around that was dangling from a long thread with a magnetic field.

"A magnet this strong, located at about half the distance to the Moon would easily erase your credit cards and suck pens out of your pocket. In 1998, from a distance of about 20,000 light-years, one magnetar, SGR 1900+14 generated a powerful flash of gamma-rays detected by many spacecraft. That blast of high-energy radiation is now known to have had a measurable effect on Earth's ionosphere."

A neutron star's magnetic field is not caused by an iron core like that of Earth's magnetic field, but rather is a product of the extreme high temperature of the star stripping its atoms of their electrons. The motion of the electric field of these subatomic particles produces the magnetic field we observe.
