It is actually magic that makes magnets work.

Go fishing in a lake. See what fun things you pull up. Not recommended with the big ones, you don't want to catch anything you can't actually pull up.

^^ thats great until he finds a sunken car or somethinig and loses his magnets

use the 2- 2''x1.5'' cylinder (120lbs pull force magnets)
apply to shoes
install metal plate in home
....
dancing on the ceiling

Maybe this?
Turn sound down or off (loud ringing)

Saw the catapult as well.
Youtube has some awesome stuff based on Homopolar motors.

hahahahahahahahahahahaha +1 vote for this

Well, the magnets can easily hold a gun:

....
Well, through a door, it doesn't need the largest magnet to hold up a G24. I used it because it was close. To get the gun off the door takes about 15lbs of force.
With a proper magnet mount and some spacing, the small ones could easily do it.

did this thread just go from dangerous to ahhh shit really dangerous?

2/11/2011 4:33:12 PM

I know what goes on with firearms. Dealing with only one magnet at a time would make this safer.
I'm toying with a shotgun mount in the bedroom closet. This was illustrating the point on another forum that I am on.

May as well throw some fire into the mix.

2/11/2011 5:11:38 PM

as long as we're throwing other dangerous objects in the mix, make a shark swallow one of the big ones and then ride him around by attaching yourself to him with the other...

[Edited on February 11, 2011 at 5:25 PM. Reason : ^or fire...]

You could hold them real close to your computer.

2/11/2011 5:30:37 PM

I don't know that much about how electromagnets work (practical application-wise anyhow), but can you wrap them with wire and set it up so that when you switch on the current, the electromagnet's force cancels out the force of the regular magnet? If so, you could make some bomb ass building climbing gear.

^IMO the magnet would flip around so its field would line up with the electromagnet's field

anyway I think he should toss one of the big ones into the air and then the other big one, then watch them smash together into a sparkly oblivion while pulling all loose bits of steel toward the mess

I am going to name our new electronic project "How the F--- Do Magnets Work?" based on the ICP video.
