fucking magnets, how do they work?

[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

thats how black hole comes out

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

[WarcraftMelodies]

Gauss my ass.

[wcability109]

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

[Dillon1225]

Little Joke magnets, Seriously? LOL

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

@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.

@xXM4RT1N1Xx miracles.
