The 16 Most Asked Questions About Magnets 

Ah I see, the classic champagne dilemma

Underrated comment

I don't wanna ask a scientist.

I only clicked this video to see how far I had to scroll to find an ICP reference. I didn’t even start the video before I saw this.

​@@thecodemachine Y'all motherf*ckers lyin', and gettin' me pissed

​@justincraig398 So, I'm an ICP fan, but I can't call myself a Juggalo! Lol... so please explain!? I searched, but obviously, I had an axe in my brain or something! 😅

@@MichaelOKCsame

Whoa, that's amazing!!!

what if you're near a large magnet?

@@Gocunt I'm sure the magnet would screw with it. I've never tried placing a neodymium magnet on the spot (that would be stupid to test), but I have it in my medical records that I can't get an MRI scan of any part of my body.

That sounds dangerous, what if someone prank opened your valve from outside?

@@osiris1102 A "prank"? I can't imagine anyone that I have ever known trying that just for the fun of it, and it's not like I have an arrow pointing at it "Press magnet here." 😆 I have had it for a dozen years without any problems, it takes more than just a refrigerator magnet to affect it, and I would just go back to my doctor to adjust it again. Closing the valve isn't death.

The practice of.giving.cows magnets is not completely dead litter being major problem - problem is much of it is aluminum, plastic, or glass which magnet doesn't collect

We still use it in our cows because there are always loose bits and pieces on the farm.

Makes me wonder how much plastic the average cow eats …

​@rolfs2165 They eat every bit of plastic that is in front of them. I had a hunting lease where the land owner also ran cattle. Anything plastic was chewed on by the cows. Wires, buckets, chairs, ropes, bags, tarps. Anything. They seemed to search it out.

The rumen is the last stomach. The Reticulum or honeycomb is the first. It is to filter food as it enters the digestive system. That is why the magnet (and iron) stay there and not pooped out. Metal would also be filtered out, but it would float around in the reticulum and possibly cut the walls. The magnet holds the metal pieces and reduces the chance of movement and cutting. It is also not just pastured cattle. I've seen large magnets on feed processing equipment (like grinders and mixers).

I was recently offered TMS! I'm not on it yet, but may start in a few months if I need to. Very very interesting treatment

@@Misstborn I hope if you end up doing it, that it works for you ❤️. It was life changing for me. I’m also sorry that you’re in a position where it’s being considered. The fight is often long, but worthwhile.

Yellow food coloring causes depression that would create resistant depression doesn't matter what you take or do when you keep exposing yourself to what's causing it before you poison yourself with pills like a good little sheep does for the government and big pharma cut out food coloring first and it can take weeks for the food coloring to get out of your system and be careful it's in everything because the intent is to poison the American people

I've had it for both my depression and anxiety. The do have to switch sides for it to work on the separate issues. I still have to see a therapist and take meds, but I finally saw progress.

I have wondered if TMS could help those suffering long term/permanent antidepressant withdrawal syndrome? Since people like myself where the very meds that where suppose to help have left us disabled and we can't take any drug what so ever to help with the symptoms because it makes the condition much worse.

I think they should make a series out of it.

Oh man, I was gonna say they're really interesting but I strongly dislike 😅

@@CWorgen5732 this one in specific is not good I think. But it is more interesting when they do a video in a real background not just an obviously green screen.

I liked it.

Guess we could compare the field energy of a fridge magnet vs the floppy drives writing and reading hardware

I've tried this on some regular 1.44meg floppies and it corrupted a good amount of them, the key was iirc was the move a strong magnet over the surface back and forth like you would to magnetise a screw driver. Also cassette tapes wiped instantly when you wound the tap with a magnet in place of where the head goes, same as VHS. But even bringing the magnet over the cassette housing on the side was enough to lose the volume in most cases but not wipe the content completely.

Floppy discs works a bit like magnetic viewing film - changing fields change the pattern. Sticking a floppy onto a fridge and leaving it there won't change the fields a whole lot, so the pattern just remain the same. If you had moved the magnet around in circles, zig-zagging, etc - the data would have been literally wiped away

I was really, really good at zapping floppies and data tapes due to my body holding Alegre amounts of electric static once it reached a set number I could zap things. The company I use to work for had to get experts in to test the building we were in because when we moved into it I started zapping the magnetic keys that opened all the security doors. I had to make the programmers place their data disc or tapes on the desk, I refused to take them out of their hands because 1, each time I zapped anything it left burn marks on the tips if my fingers and it hurts like hell, 2, if the static charge was big enough it either scrambled the data or wiped it clean as if there was nothing on it to start with. The guys got me to walk up and down the hall ways and other places within the new building and they were shocked that I had not self combusted going by the data they were getting off me. I had to wear a special anklet which kept my skin connected to the ground 24/7 while in the office. Every security door had to have a zapping plate on the wall that I had to touch first before inserting the magnetic key card. My watch is meant to be charged every 7 days 😹😹😹I put it on to charge on average every 4-5 weeks. All my clothes had to be sprayed with a special solution after each time they were washed so that it stopped them from contributing to my electrifying personality 😹😹😹 One day when my boss had a new guy start working for us never believed the guys when they told him about me, well we were all called into a meeting with the boss and the new guy would not place the company cars keys on the table because he had been told I must take them to to ensure that I had received them 🙄🙄 so as I reached for the dam keys there was a blue/which static discharge that happened between us, I think it was the dam sound that I heard that freaked me the most, as I grabbed the darn keys he was dangling from his hand, the next thing I knew I was flying across the dam room slamming into the office window (thank goodness it was over and inch thick) when I came too the idiots face was white as a ghost, turned out he lied because he did not believe everyone about my issue with static build up, the hand that I had grabbed the metal keys with, you could see the an imprint burnt into palm of my hand. I had not had the chance to put the dam anklet on when I got into the office. The guy never came near me again the whole time I was working there after that day. He even went as far as moving his things from the desk next to me to a different work station. Even after all those years I still have issues with brand new buildings, for some reason they seem to boast my static issues every time. I can feel the electricity running through the wiring when it is powering up lamps, computers and anything electrical. I can run my finger along the edge of my iPad while it is plugged into the mains and feel the ripple of the electric field all around the iPad the minute I pull the plug it vanishes. It’s the same with those flat screen TV’s I can feel the rippling of the electric field while it’s turned on. Once the power is off the rippling affect is gone. Having an MRI is a pain because it feels like I have become a lightning rod my hair has to be tied into a ponytail as it starts to fan out, I can feel every single strand of hair on my body standing up as I go through the machine. The same thing happens when I walk through the metal detecting machine.

What?

@@demonflowerchild nothing, I guess.

I got the ICP reference :)

Long ago, when I worked tech support and most monitors were CRT, this guy called and said, "I have a big purple streak across the top of my monitor." I asked, "What's on top of your monitor?" He replied, "A subwoofer." I said, "Well, why don't we take that off?" One of the easiest calls I ever had,

... Hard drives where still the number one concern. We just do not use hard dives much if at all anymore and hard drives have came a long way. Floppy disks where just portable hard drive platters. Computers also *used* to use magentic storage for ram. And some CPU's still do use magnets for thier internal cache, nothing is faster to read then the direction of magnitation its litteraly the speed of single propagation in a wire. Its also a lot physically bigger and slower to write to.

Back in the day My Little Ponies had a weak magnet in one hoof (not sure why). I used to run mine over the tv screen watching them change the colors. Simpler times!

Introducing a strong magnet can create small voltages, which may travel over electronic circuits and cause damage. To damage an SSD, you would need a tremendous change in magnetic flux - and I have proven this by putting a SSD in an MRI machine. So, under most normal circumstances you are right but, there is always some crazy person like me to mess things up.

I've wanted to try TMS for a while now. The main problem is that I would have to have transportation, five days per week, for six-seven weeks. There's no way with my current mental state that I would be able to make it to 30 or more appointments, even if I had the transportation. Hopefully, the Stanford SAINT version will be available in my area soon.

Dorky humor is the best humor.

The least believable part of that job is you having a wife. 💀

Did this once out of spite after someone threw my own hard drive

There ain’t any Juggalos watching science videos on RU-vid 🤣

@@TWhite94 it's funny because it's true 😂😂😂

I had a shop teacher stack up a bunch of hard drives and connect them to an arc welding machine. One shot of high voltage, and they were wiped.

Magnetism of which thing?

😂😂

LMAO

Yes - MoEDAL at the LHC is looking for them (the "Mo" stands for "Monopole"). The discovery of magnetic monopoles would require us to rewrite a lot of our models around magnetism. MoEDAL has been looking since 2011, and despite being improved still hasn't found any magnetic monopoles. For now, as far as we know, magnetic fields always go in loops, so don't have true poles.

In the veterinary catalogue they are listed as "Ruminal Magnets". I worked on a dairy farm when I was younger and my boss called them "Magnet Pills". I've always called them cow magents because otherwise nobody knew what I was saying. 😅

Easy enough to run a doubleblind on: moar research required!

@@revdrjon I think there is more than enough research done on the subject to conclude that if you're finding positive results, you're probably not doing real science. Besides being cheap and safe to do research on, it would also be cheap and risk free treatment, if it worked. As a safe placebo effect catalyst, it could be considered preferable over some other forms of alternative medicine, for things that the placebo effect can help, but placebo is temporary, and a distraction from actual solutions.
