      Even the small ones are dangerous. I have a few 15mm by 6 mm neodymium magnets and they are very difficult to get apart. Only way is to slide them side to side. I have had them stacked and put them on the front of my fridge. Then tell people to pull them straight off. Can be done, but not easy.

The Curie temperature is named after Pierre Curie, who showed that magnetism was lost at a critical temperature.

      I think it has been done before, but how about you get these guys back on your range and you guys test to see how many neodymium magnets it takes to bend a bullet and how many it takes for each caliber. Odds are is that it'll only take about 3 shots before a bullet hits a magnet, but it'd be cool. You know a .22 might whip around a single magnet block. A 9mm would whip around 2 of them. A .45 would just slam into 2 of them, 5.56mm would speed by. .338 Lapua would start spinning or something. It'd be a neat video and you'd need proper slow mo to see exactly how much effect the magnets had on the bullet's path.

      @@thomgizziz They ARE very brittle, but like most brittle things, that just means they're sharp when they break. Bonus danger!
      BUT they're also very heavy, so there's the nice mass part (more than a hammer, and possibly even more than a sledge hammer when both weights are included honestly) of the equations. Speaking of BOTH magnets, they're both moving, you have to establish one still as your frame of reference, so I'm guessing 15 mph is a low ball. Also, Energy isn't about speed, it's about acceleration!
      Magnetic field strength drops off as a square of distance, so by the time they're millimeters apart, they're accelerating at much more than the midpoint speed would suggest. THUS while the kinetic energy in the lead up isn't super insane, at the point of contact, it is! So, no, even swinging a 3 lb sledge hammer couldn't compare to the point of impact from both magnets moving to each other, thom. Bush up on your conceptual physics because you can't do the math until you understand the basics.

    Had a friend who was experimenting with those exact same magnets. Had a controlled collision, turning into a 'magnet meatball' as he called it. Picked up the remains in a hand and went looking for shards he saw flying. Picked up a shard with another hand and BANG, the shard went THROUGH the back of the hand holding the meatball. The shard had small and pointy, like an arrowhead. Nicked a tendon and gouged one of his metacarpals. It was so fast and sharp, he only felt a tug, then wondered where the shard had gone, and then why blood was pouring from his hand. It also severed one of the veins on the back of the hand holding the meatball.

    @CrippledMerc ปีที่แล้ว +106

    If I’m not mistaken, as pieces break off of larger magnets they form their own magnetic field which is what causes them to get all mixed up as they smash back together. Each piece is trying to find a spot of opposite polarity to stick to, and because there’s so many pieces there’s many different magnetic fields in play of different strengths depending on their size. Super interesting to see it in slow motion though. I might have to do this with some magnets myself to make some little desk art pieces because they’re super interesting looking once they smash together. Very neat stuff!😊

It would be neat to have one magnet this size (or bigger :D ), and watch a ball-bearing be attracted into it to see what kind of carnage is wrought when you concentrate all the force of the impact into a single point. It would also be cool to put a layer of material between the magnets to see what happens to it, like having a layer of wood and seeing how deep of an impression the collision makes.

    Remember, each new shard will instantly have it's own magnetic field. The bits flying away, reacted strongest to the same pole as the nearest other bit (or larger), while the bits pulling back into the cluster, orientated to the opposite poles of all the other tumbled pieces. You can also see this, by most of the shards rotating, almost in place, due to the poles fighting for their natural position!
