Here's a wholesome anecdote: An 80+ yo aunt of mine had to go through subcraneal surgery for removing a brain tumor. The doctors explained how the procedure was and that they would have to put bolts and (I believe) a metal plaque to secure the skull after removing the mass. Some weeks after, when we asked her how she was and if felt anything for having metal in the head she laughed and told us "Nah, doctors were just joking, that's impossible"; we were shocked and she proceeded to grab a magnet from the fridge, pass it around her head and explain us "If I had metal in the head, the magnet would stick." We smiled and noone tried to explain her that titanium is barely magnetic, because she was very aprehensive about having, literally, her head open.

I have a piece of medical hardware in my body that controls the flow of a specific type of circulated fluid (I'm being vague to keep from getting too technical). The valve that controls the amount of flow is very loosely magnetic and my doctor can take a specific strength magnet and adjust how open or closed the valve is just by touching it to my skin. This eliminates the need for additional surgeries. It's quite ingenious, actually.

The main reason for administering cow magnets to cows was the due use of bailing wire which has now been replaced by plastic bailing twine and why this practice has been almost forgotten. The magnet would hold the small bits of bailing wire in the cows "first stomach" the Rumen and save the animal from damage that result from the wire traveling further through the digestive process.

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).

12:07 ooooo, I’ve undergone Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). It was incredibly helpful in reducing my treatment resistant depression! the magnetic field is about the strength of an mri. It’s a little spooky when you’re doing it, because they can make your arm/hand/fingers move by pulsing something into your brain. If I remember correctly as well, the mechanism that makes TMS work as a treatment for mental illnesses is rather poorly understood. Super cool 💕

Back in the 80's I did some tests with floppies to check how "fragile" they were, one was sticking one on the fridge with a fridge magnet. I do not remember how long I left it there but I do remember it did not lose its data. Those were one sided 160K floppies, it's possible that this low density helped their reliability.

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
@dawsie
@dawsie Місяць тому
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.

7:06 - Neutron stars are also often thought to have very intense magnetic fields that dwarf those of even are strongest magnets. 9:18 - This one is historical. Magnets _used_ to be really bad for computers because one important storage media was floppy disks. Floppy disks use plastic coated with magnetized iron dust to store stuff. So a magnet near a floppy disk would have the tendency to scramble the information. This is not a problem with USB sticks. And hard-drives (which do use magnetized iron dust as well) have a big metal shell around them that tends to block out external magnetic fields. So magnets are not nearly so bad for computers as they used to be. Oh... one other thing, magnets used to play havoc with CRT screens because those screens use magnetic fields to direct the electron beams. Again, we don't really use CRT screens anymore.

... 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.

A note on the computer part. Most computer I made in the last 5 years are not using magnetic storage and will not be affected by magnetic. Also old tube tv/monitors use a CRT (cathode ray tub) and magnetic fields can cause issues with these devices. Otherwise magnetics are safe for use around computer and you don't have to worry about them.

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.

If you've ever seen those hexagonal-shaped grooves etched into the surface of the street at a traffic light, that's part of the system that signals the presence of a vehicle at the intersection. There a coil of wire embedded in the asphalt, with a small electrical current running through it, connected to the traffic light control box. When a vehicle moves over the loop, the metal in the vehicle interacts with the electrical current (you've basically created an electromagnet with your car) and the traffic control box detects this interaction (the electrical resistance increases when there's metal near the loop). This triggers the traffic light to start the cycle to change to green.

That magnet caught the peice of wire but it was to big and peirced its stomach and straight into its heart. The magnet had loads of other bits of debree from washers to small screws. The wire that killed it looked like it was from a tire tread like cord from a tire. What farmers over in the UK do they usually put old tires ontop of feed to keep it covered. Well old tired crack and degrade and that's how wire usually gets into their food

The Magnetic Monopole Paradox Contradictory: Classical Electromagnetism ∇ × B = μ0j (Magnetic fields have no sources/monopoles) ∇ ⋅ B = 0 (Magnetic flux is solenoidal) This appears paradoxical since individual magnetic charges are allowed by the laws of physics. Non-Contradictory Possibility: Monadic Charge Network Electrodynamics F = q(Ax - Γx,y Ay) (Force from difference in vector potentials) Γx,y = gx gy / rxy (Monadic charge relations) Treating magnetism as collective network phenomena arising from vectorial differences in monadic charge perspective phases Ax, Ay with relations Γx,y avoids paradoxes.

Fun fact, magnets make the best (my opinion) electronic switches in the form of hall effect switches. They're great for stuff like gaming controllers/keyboards, and even security doors! They're accurate and reliable, they use permanent magnets, so less power needed, and they don't need things to make contact to act as a switch so they last longer.

One of my favorite mysteries relating to magnets is about Magnetars: Last I checked, we don't know exactly how a stellar corpse made of neutral subatomic particles generates a magnetic field, let alone a strong one. There are some hypothesis though.

For years, I've charged my screwdrivers and other tools by dragging them (always in the same direction) across a strong magnet a few times; this allows screwdrivers to hold on to screws, for instance...

As a quality control technique, magnetic particle inspection is used to find surface defects in ferromagntic materials. An interesting topic.

The description of ferromagnetism reminded me that paramagnetism sounds _basically_ the same on the quantum level. And reminded me that I really don't know why they work differently.

I understand it's hard to even start listing uses for magnets because just scratching the surface of the average person's everyday life interactions with magnets could take up multiple videos, but I felt that microphones and speakers were a huge missed opportunity to drive the point home here. All types modern microphones and speakers uses electromagnetism to convert sound pressure into electric pulses and vice versa. He was literally speaking into a magnet to record this so that we can use a magnet to recreate his voice later on.

The linguistic etymology of the word magnet is something I never considered, but it's cool to find it's derived from an actual place name! Also interesting how little the word has actually changed through the millenia. From the online etymological dictionary: magnet (n.) "variety of magnetite characterized by its power of attracting iron and steel," mid-15c. (earlier magnes, late 14c.), from Old French magnete "magnetite, magnet, lodestone," and directly from Latin magnetum (nominative magnes) "lodestone," from Greek ho Magnes lithos "the Magnesian stone," from Magnesia (see magnesia), region in Thessaly where magnetized ore was obtained.

The cow magnets was something I was introduced to as a small child while visiting my Grandparents dairy farm. Later I was trying to reach a dropped screw and thought to myself "I need one of those cow magnets" That was the first time I stopped and wondered if that explanation was something I dreamed or was an adult pulling my leg. I went to the internet to confirm that that was indeed a thing. It got me thinking about how before the internet, that would have to just be a thing you thought you heard and would have no way of confirming without consulting a farmer or a book on cow husbandry.

I remember in the 1980ies there was a single event of the detection of a magnetic mono pole. Are they still searching for more magnetic mono pole events??
@TheGrumbleduke
@TheGrumbleduke Місяць тому
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.

When I was a kid I used cow magnets on my DIY holographic camera. I had a metal sheet attached to a piece of granite. My physics teacher let me use some of his optics stuff for holding the lenses and mirrors. But I needed to attach the mounts to the metal plate. Do I went to my local farm &fleet and bought cow magnets, just like in the video.

So why is it that in strictly 2 dimensions, there is no magnetic field, and in 4 or more dimensions, the magnetic field dominates? Also, it's called spin because the units work out to be the same as spin angular momentum. It doesn't really make sense as literal spin, because some particles have half integer spin, meaning you can think of the particle having to rotate twice to get back to the starting point.

When I was a kid my grandfather was a magnetic therapist and he cured many people with many conditions even cancer he was able to cure or greatly reduce their symptoms. Growing up whenever you were sick or hurt the answer to all of them was to put a magnet on it. He would use flat magnets and you would place your feet and hands on the magnets and sit for an hour or so.

The placebo effect is real. Besides no real evidence for healing capabilities of magnets, there's also no known real reason to assume/suspect that they could have a healing effect. Other than that, and some "details" about electromagnets, not technically completely accurate, a great episode, really funny!

@@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.
