Can you PLEASE tell me what size of magnet I should get (that is a flat circle type), so that I can play with it without breaking my bones (but still to be strong and fun)? lol I want one really bad that I cacn do magic and stuff with. would a 25mm be the right size?

[SuperMagnetMan]

Fizz489 - basically a 1 inch (25.4mm) dia disc is a good size up to the 0.5" thick disc. One of those is an extremely strong magnet but by itself will possibly cause an occasional pinch but certainly not crush fingers. 2 of these would cause serious blood blisters if they came together with skin in between. A 1" dia x 0.25" will pinch but 2 of them would not hurt as much. So, if you get 1 magnet the 1" x 0.5" N50 is OK. I hope this helps. After practice you can handle larger ones safely.

can those really crush your fingers?

and what in the name of god do you use the cubes for???

[SuperMagnetMan]

Bojanlacic

Yes they will crush fingers. The large magnets are extremely useful interestingly enough in treating pain and cancer on the medical side and for various forms of electricity production on the energy side. Many new windmill designs use these larger super magnets to increase generator efficiency. Of course there are hundreds of other uses too - like changing traffic lights and repelling sharks.

are there any bigger more powerful magnets then the cubes

[SuperMagnetMan]

Yes I have lots of large magnets - 8 inch dia x 0.5 inch thick and 6 inch x 4 inch x 0.75 inch thick. In the disc area I have the 5 inch dia x 1 inch thick N50. Probably the 5 inch x 1 inch disc is the most powerful that I have.

Make a wedge...

[AndrasAnders]

OMG, I'm so glad I watched this video. I just ordered 2*2*1 inch brick magnet. Now I'm buying some gloves so my fingers don't have to get amputated.

[thecreativewebshow]

why do you need a wedge.. just put the magnet on top of the other one.. no need for a wedge.

[holyshitcantfindname]

please help!! Will the cube-c1004 be a good magnet for strength and can they break bones or cause bad injuries?

[LeLimeLine]

How do they work?

[kisner4]

Will a solid copper wedge slow them enough to work better than wood?

[dairyqueen98]

3:30 line the wedge up, in the crack

[crashtestpilot24auto]

what kind of pleasure one can get playng with bricks?

[crashtestpilot24auto]

well known cubes and the flats are the same material. the matter is that the square they contact each other tight differs from 0.0...1 mm^2 to 10..0 mm^2.
