Gaussing

[WarcraftMelodies]

Gauss my ass.

[wcability109]

what shitty magnets... use magnets from hard drives - their powerfull

[JokerXDHaHaHa]

@wcability109 No way, the magnets from speakers are stronger than hell!

[Dillon1225]

Little Joke magnets, Seriously? LOL

[Daisycutt3r]

I had an old sony flatscreen crt that became so magnetized it gave me headaches and made my fillings hurt and taste like tin lol .. we tested it on heaps of people .. Ive kept the monitor as Im hoping it will one day create a time space vortex

[moviesunrated]

Would have been a better show if one of the screens had some colour to it, rather than B&W.

[leandremaher]

i could play chess on these screens :-)

[xXM4RT1N1Xx]

fucking magnets, how do they work?

[Vegatude]

@xXM4RT1N1Xx

these scientists are gettin me pissed!

[Slaterking2010]

@xXM4RT1N1Xx its more fun if you dont know, it is really hard to explain.

[wdowa94]

@xXM4RT1N1Xx Electric forces. Fuckin simple

[MostEpicUsernameEvar]

@xXM4RT1N1Xx miracles.

[dashwarts]

@xXM4RT1N1Xx Simple answer for electromagnets, they are inductors having their field "stolen". Long answer, current being forced along a round coil as to generate a magnetic field.

For magnets that aren't electromagnets, they were gaussed (ionized?) by an electromagnet at some point in time.

A crude transformer is made by putting two inductors side by side so one side can feed off the other's field. The coils' turn ratios gives the voltage ratio.

[dlyavhoda]

nerds u better repair my monitor

[hszombi2]

@dlyavhoda y did u do it in the ist place

[skimboley]

scaewa

[withinthetruth]

the best part is bye doing this you can see the magnetec field down to its field strucker of the 3 parts of 3. witch works out to be yellow in the center, light blue then purple in a continues pattern wich blends pos to neg. brake a magnet in have and bring the two together ner the screen and you can see the patten blend

like it is showing what is really going on at a element scale of it's frequency and it's struckture at the proton level. just my veiw thanks.

[mumbomum]

yes they use magnets to delete really important stuff if someones trying to hack there comp. (police army and stuff)

[TheRoyBoy734]

my friend said that one time he moved a magnet around a computer and it deleted everything on the computer, could this happen??

[xXxmidgexXx]

Yeah. The hard drive gets wiped out as the magnetic feild of the magnet "remapps" the hard disk

[Jo037]

yes it could happen but u need so strong magnet that i would destroy everything

[tech2kn0w]

no thats just called bs

[jamesstone123]

your name is sadly ironic mate.

Hard drives store data in magnetic form. Interference from a magnetic field no matter how it is caused can cause major disruption to the platters.

The metadata stored on hard drives used to locate files is useless if a magnetic field has fucked the data up or moved it.

[SilvonSoftware]

wtf no, lol

[FrosDOwnz]

Magnetic data stored on the platters of hard drives can easily be erased by external magnetic interference, basically the drive becomes demagnetized and erased, the way to restore it would be to format and begin anew.

[2xN]

Running a magnet over a hard drive will not only delete everything, it will render it completely useless.

[mulliganmedia]

@2xN Not true, in most situations. Maybe if you had an MRI, but not with anything easily available.

I've tried messing with magnets and CRT displays. A CRT monitor was degaussed after turning it off and on again. A TV wasn't degaussed. It had to be turned off for a few hours to get back to normal.

[desinfector]

A CRT-Monitor or TV-set can be degaussed by switching off using the mains-switch

(not just the remote control):

Switch it off, wait a few minutes and switch on again.

When experimenting with magnets no watch should be worn.

Very strong magnets (big neodymium's) can cause discolorations in a fluorescent lamp as well. Mostly the light gets brighter at the point where the lamb is touched by a magnet.

I still find it very fascinating to play with

magnets...

[DonHoraldo]

I once did this by accident on my old crt by placing my sub to close to it.

ps if your monitor doesn't have a botun to fix the distortion it can be permanently burnt in.

[AlienScientist]

Most newer CRTs have a "Degauss" button, yes.

But you can also degauss a monitor yourself with a magnet on a drill:

watch?v=j404EgmdXSU

[DonHoraldo]

yes that is interesting. still not a good idea to put a 9" sub next to a crt monitor.

[cuteboymimmi]

So that is what my old monitor had in the monitor menu, i used to do degaussing without knowing what it would do, lol

[moviesunrated]

@DonHoraldo Your sub woofer?

[minichuaman]

where was that at?

[paintball227]

Yea if u want results get a good neodymium magent.

[rootbrian]

Use a HDD or super magment:D
