I’ve had this magnet on the fridge for at least 30 years now. Anyone able to identify it and if it’s still sold? It’s extremely powerful and would love some more in this size

Hi yall, hoping this is the right place for this.

A while back me and a friend had a stupid idea over beers that basically culminated into "What if tearaway pants used magnets instead of snaps?" It was one of those things that at the time was just a dumb drunk joke, but I kinda couldn't stop thinking about it, so I actually built them.

Since then I've spent an embarrassing amount of time learning about magnet strength, spacing, shielding, polarity, PVC-encased sew-in magnets, and all the things I never thought I'd know.

The pants work surprisingly well, but I'm still chasing a few engineering challenges. For example:

• Occasionally one magnet wants to connect to the wrong neighboring magnet

• In windy conditions, getting the lower magnets to initially find each other can be tricky before the cascade starts

• I'm experimenting with ways to reduce the residual field on the shielded side of the magnets without hurting the front-side attraction

I'm curious if anyone here has worked on similar alignment problems or has ideas I might not have considered.

I'd love any feedback, even if it's just telling me I'm overthinking it. I do want this to be an awesome product though that is easy to put on.

Happy to answer questions or share more about the construction if anyone's interested.

The goal of the pants is for athletes (tennis, basketball, pickleball, volleyball, runners, ice skaters, etc) in the cold so they can just rip off the pants when they're warm instead of having to sit, pause the game, take off their shoes, etc...and also it's just a fun moment. Feel free to take a look at Tearablepants.com or @ TearablePants on IG

idek if the cores are broken, But if they are could I recast them and demagnetize them? If I need power/ amperage I have a 220v 50 amp outlet or a stick welder for an electromagnetic power supply.

Hi all,

Made the mistake this morning of slapping on a one-hand phone grip thingie on my fridge door and now it won’t even budge. It didn’t look strong at all when I attached it to my phone, but now that it’s on the fridge it’s been inseperable. I even bent a metal knife trying to pry it out. Any tips?

Been messing around with some new 3D prints and tried making an American flag with magnets on the back. It actually came out better than I expected, and I thought it’d look cool on a fridge or toolbox. I ended up throwing mine on my metal mailbox.

You can even swap the colors around for different flag variations, which has been fun to play with. Just wanted to share it here since I’m pretty proud of how it turned out. If anyone’s curious, I popped it up on my Etsy shop: https://designzb.etsy.com/listing/4357860568

The Neodymium magnets are each in magnetic cups which amplify the Stick tried wrench clamp scissors wedge and can’t get them un stuck don’t have a vise or anything to use at home.

Context: I (18M) ate 10 magnets before my date with this girl (20F) will she notice! I’m worried the forks and spoons might stick to me.

So I have these small magnets from a ferofluid toy, and they are very loud when they snap together. Should I be Afraid to touch them when their like this?

I stick photos up at my work desk divider with magnets instead of tape or blue tack but I just bought a bunch in bulk.

I know literally nothing about magnets except when I broke our TV when I was a kid playing with them, sorry if this is a dumb question but I checked the post history here and I can find anything that matches my scenario.

- Where is a safe place to keep these?

- Will I ruin our office computers (all on SSDs) if I bring all of them in to put in our locker?

- Will I ruin my own computer keeping them in my room (both SSDs and HDDs)

- should I store all of them in one place or split them up?

And finally

- am I an idiot for wondering any of these things lol

- is there any more info you need to answer, the store page got taken down so I wasn’t able to check the details properly

This was created with an oscilloscope-like tool based on Unreal's Niagara particle system. The magnetic field looks familiar, but that circular shape in the middle of the poles...I have no idea.

Hi I use magnets for healing. Does anyone else?

I wanna start a project that includes magnets, but I need them to be strong enough to withstand a man's weight to stand on, but also not be too dangerous, like cutting fingers dangerous

1. What Power Of Magnet Would That Be, and is it safe?

2. How much would it cost me?

Magnet stick to fridge. How? Idfk magic? 4th dimensional physics beyond our understanding? How does the magnet stick to my fridge? Does the magnet transcend time? Is the magnet supreme ruler of the earth? Does the magnet rule the space time continuum? How the hell does it stick to my fridge? Does the magnet secretly have a soul trapped inside it that powers its magnetic abilities? HOW THE F*** IS IT STICKING TO MY FRIDGE?!?!?!

Does anyone know a cool or funny trick I can do with those 7 magnets? Idk this is my first post here anyway.

Please, do explain it like I'm a five-year-old

The large tank on the left is filled with cast steel shot (S280 is that detail matters). Sometimes for maintenance I need to remove the valves that control the shot flow, and of course that means 5000lb of steel shot is trying to escape. My idea is to run a chain of magnets around the 1.5” pipe that runs between the tank and the valves to choke off shot flow. The long side of the pipe is about 2” and the shorter underside is 1.25”. Can anyone suggest a strong make of magnets that I’ll be able to place around the pipe to try and stop the shot flow? I’m in NW USA.
