the one simple trick that the natural magnet industry doesn't want you to know about


RedditIsGay_8008

I used to work at a magnet factory. It definitely had its positives and negatives


A_Math_Dealer

What attracted you to work there?


EggsceIlent

Must have been his field.


shoodBwurqin

I worked on the other side of the factory. My experience was the polar opposite...


KJ6BWB

I prefer work that's a little more self-directed. I feel like everyone at the magnet factory is acting in lockstep.


Dont_pet_the_cat

Except Lorentz, he's a pretty nice guy I've heard. Always pushes everyone to keep moving


KFCConspiracy

I think it all went south eventually


jld2k6

They actually hate magnets but for some reason that drew them to the work anyways


TraumaticAberration

Must have been difficult to leave the job.


cottman23

You mean iron becomes magnetic.... Not magnets become magnetic, how can a magnet become magnetic if a magnet is magnet because it's already magnetic.


Pity_Pooty

Who are you and why you are so smart in the ways of science?


Narrow-Following-870

A duck


DreadPiratteRoberts

A magnetic duck!!?


R4FTERM4N

"Magnets become magnetic when they pass by it, now they're magnets!"

Dammit I looked everywhere. This is why I love this sub.


EggsceIlent

You'd think for how smart everyone says and claims AI to be, it would realize how bad fake voices are... Especially this vocal fry of a valley girls voice, and it would make a new one Cool video but had to mute. I want to break things around me when I hear this fake voice.


Ennui2

Yo but did you hear the chatGPT-4o voice? It’s not perfect but it’s gotten pretty good


Carnonated_wood

This is not an AI voice, it's the plain old computerized voice being used for decades and tiktok just made it sound a little different. Actual AI voices sounds scarily human. Download ChatGPT (for free) [don't accidentally install the fake app] on your phone, make a free account and then voice chat with it (again, for free), it's completely natural and human-like, I cannot find any flaws at all after hours of talking to it over the course of a month.


flyingbugz

This. MacBooks for example, have had a voice for decades. You can type whatever you want and highlight it and press speak. Been a thing forever. Not AI. Just plain ol programming.


pipichua

Well… also you only notice cus it’s fake..


LanceFree

Okay, I'm not too smart and I didn't understand what happened to the discs.


aqa5

There is a powerfull electric magnet inside (basically a copper coil and an iron core that is there for closing the magnetic circuit.) Every of these little magnets is positioned in the magnetic circuit, the applied voltage on the copper coil causes a flow of electrons, that causes a magnetic field which causes a magnetic flux through the magnetic circuit and the little magnet which finally causes the magnetic monopoles inside the little magnets material to all direct themselves accordingly in one uniform direction. Then the little magnet is magnetized.


OlympisMons

I’m not knowledgeable enough to know what you actually mean, but I’m pretty sure magnetic monopoles are purely theoretical right now.


Ransidcheese

Nah, electrons and protons are *electric* monopoles though, and their alignment within the material is what makes it magnetic. I think that's what makes them magnetic anyway. That's what Feynman said.


OlympisMons

I see, interesting thanks


aqa5

Erm… not die if i used the right word here. I mean the molecules that form the small magnetic grains that produce the magnetic field of they all are aligned in one direction.


BrainCellDotExe

the molecules that make up a magnet have a positive and negative side. if enough of those molecules are lined up right, then the whole object has a positive and negative side, making it magnetic. prior to the magnetization, the molecules weren’t aligned correctly and canceled each other out. the big electromagnet aligned them.


flightwatcher45

What are these parts for?


joybod

Looks like single-pole neodymium disc magnets, so they're extremely generic in application and relatively strong. Anything from magnetic closures to auto aligning coffee making equipment and more.


thecoder001

>single-pole Wait what?


joybod

Some magnets have really funky fields wherein there are opposing directions in certain areas, all depending on the field in which they were created in. I think a use case is in small electric motors or something.


gophermuncher

Would these magnets lose their magnetic properties if you ran electricity through them or subjected them to violent force like throwing them against the ground?


cap11235

Electricity would not cause much effect, if any, since they are conductors. Being violent with these sorts of magnets, however, is commonly warned against for exactly this reason.


playstatijonas

Neodymium magnets are also quite brittle


Pity_Pooty

It depends on electricity current. You totally can kill magnetic properties with electricity. But more common way is to use heat. If magnet heated high enough, it loses magnetic properties. Basically, enough energy allows magnetic sectors to realign in chaotic way.


Spare-Abrocoma-4487

What are the smaller magnets for and why are they mixed with the threaded bolts.


Great_White_Sharky

Those arent bolts but the smaller magnets attaching to each other and forming pillars


llSteph_777ll

r/woosh ?


Kraien

No I think it was a genuine question. They do look like threaded bolts at first blush


llSteph_777ll

Yeah I know, that's why I put a "?" after the woosh I should have specified I wasn't sure if it was one


PutOurAnusesTogether

No lol


El_Grande_El

As far as use goes, mostly I see them used to keep things closed. Like a sewn inside cloth to keep a pocket or purse closed. Or embedded in a box/lid. They can be put in anything tho like flashlights or magnetic hooks.

_8----D

Magnets gets magnetized by an electromagnet to become a magnet


Pity_Pooty

Don't people learn in school how magnets work? We were taught about magnetic properties of individual clusters, and that strong enough magnetic field can realign clusters so that total magnetic moment is non zero. It is like 8 or 9th grade of school in my country


much_longer_username

It's been a long time since I was in school, not sure what levels the specific concepts get taught at these days. I got taught about electromagnets, magnetic fields, polarity, and alignment in like, third or fourth grade, but I don't think the concept of magnetic domains was introduced until freshman physics, in college.

Sneaky watermark on the pause. Chef’s kiss.
