Neodymium Magnets (rare earth magnets)

oh,

you can take to templates, put one magnet on one side of one template and one on the other template on the other side. put the fabric in between and cute multiple layers of templates out at a time. yay.

unfortunatly mine would crush the fabric

I actually only use one 3lb one and a coin. (euro penny)

I've thought about doing a tutorial for this for a while but I guess I just want people to learn to walk for themselves.

I dont think using some rare earth magnet to trace and cut footbag panels is comparable to walking at all.

what a conclusion from hen G. I would like to see your thesis on that one. i would imagine it would be pretty in depth.

Hen, I'm just saying that it's good for people to put in the time thinking about some problem and coming up with a way to solve it instead of just copying what everyone else does.

Boy it must've been hard to lower yourself to our sub-genius level when you made that bag breaking-in tutorial...

I got them today!

pretty intense.

i struggle to pull them apart but its doable. they are really good at pick pocketing people.

Video~!~! Seriously, now I want to see how strong these things are. Especially since you got one 6 times as strong as Mosher's.

i will, i got it stuck on the skin in between my thumb and pointer finger and that really really hurt really really bad. they are fun though. i found some cool things to do with them. including destroying the schools compueters. they afect them from about 1.5 feet away so when i walk by them they change color.

by that you mean the monitors/screens right? ..have you tried sticking it on a desktop ..for example close to where the hd should be ^^

oh and be careful though because even though its cool to have the monitors change color walking by its an indicator for somebody carrying a strong magnet so if you have a teacher that has some brains u might get in serious trouble.

yes the monitors.

i know i just do it really quickly and flash it by them, thats enough to do damage.

Dont eat them.

I looked on the site in which you got it, and those magnets look awesome, and horrifying at the same time. Especially the super magnets

. Quite scary.

Benzilla · Post by **Benzilla** » 01 Dec 2007 08:11

Ben, which magnet size did you get? i wanna buy some and save me some time when i cut out panels. And how can you tell how strong each magnet is? i can't find it anywhere.

BenRea · Post by **BenRea** » 01 Dec 2007 09:19

i got the 11.00 sphere ones, shipping was like 9 dollars though.

i kowhow strong they are because:

1: wikipedia N40 neodymium magnets
2: When i got them i lifted a weight in my basement with it and saw how much it could lift.

Benzilla · Post by **Benzilla** » 01 Dec 2007 09:30

ok, i got the disc ones with eric weber. we ordered them 1 minute ago, so there isn't really a way of knowing their strength through the website besides contacting them right?

i can't wait till they get here!!!

pshaw, your magnets are for babies, babies I say!

You should buy this one

you could use it as a magnetic grappling hook.
