Very Nice Video....Very Educational...hope the PUBLIC WAKES UP & SEES WHY CHINA IS MONOPOLYZING THE WORLD MARKET ON RARE EARTH METALS...THINK OF THE ENDLESS APPLICATION POSSIBILITIES...keep up the good work!
Yes! There are a handful of US sellers but not all will ship to Europe. I just did a search for 'uranium metal' on the UK-version of ebay and found a 1 gram sample for $110 that can be shipped worldwide. Don't ask me what the swedish customs will say if they open your package though. I have no idea.
@brainiac75 what is the reason of their high, low or medium force of attraction or repulsion with the magnet ?? i have a little idea about that, but want to know more to ensure.
In very short: magnetism comes from unpaired electrons in the atoms (their spin and electrical charge).
But crystalline structure, temperature etc. also play a role: Heusler alloys are ferromagnetic even though there are no ferromagnetic metals in the alloy! So it's complicated...
My biggest concern when I came up with the idea for this video was: Is it possible to make an interesting video where 31 out of 41 metals have no visible reaction with the magnet? So I tried hard to give the video some variation and I'm really glad that you found it very interesting.
@brainiac75 U did it well!! Anyhow, you should make a video of your collection of metals, magnets and lasers, would be intresting to see how big of a collection you've got :)
Thank you! I'm glad that you can tell that this was a big project for me.
Most of my Christmas holiday was invested in filming and editing this. Add the challenges in getting these samples and handling/storing them safely and it is quite a comprehensive project. But I enjoyed every bit of it :)
awesome jeg er også dansker xD

Start with googling ferromagnetism.
In very short: magnetism comes from unpaired electrons in the atoms (their spin and electrical charge).

Thank you!
I live in a small country (Denmark) where most of these elements are not available anywhere. So eBay is my friend :)
Others can be 'extracted' like mercury from thermometers and lithium from Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries (risky procedures!).
The hardest part of collecting samples of high purity is actually the cost. The half gram of uranium alone was $60 + shipping :(

I can imagine the trouble you went through to make this. Excellent.
