  • I think I get it now. The reason one would use such a complicated electromagnet to magnetize the ferrite rather than mold or mill the part to shape and use a simpler electromagnet to get the same magnetic field is that milling is crazy slow and resource-intensive, and sintering just doesn't allow such mold shapes.

  • @metamaterial

    Yep, it's called cogging.  Every one of the "teeth" made visible by the powdered iron in the magnetic film has a north and a south pole on either side. Without this special magnetization pattern the thing would never work.

  • I had no clue those noises were made by something so pretty...

  • And rhenium.

  • Wast ist das? eine HARDDISK scheibe?

  • Cool see whats in the magnet

  • magzzie, it will only show magnetically affected thigs, so most likely, the three common metals that are affected by magnets. i cant remember all 3, just iron.

  • nope to see what people are wearing
