Hi all.
Had a hard drive go dead on me so took it apart
because I had heard something about magnets inside.
So I got 2 c shaped mags out of it.
So at the moment, "My mind is a raging torrent, flooded
with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative
alternatives."

Question is, any simple ideas on how to use these powerful little buggers?

i've not seen it but I have read that you can do nice tricks when you
move them near a piece of copper (or oethr conductor). Drop such a
magnet down inside a copper tube, or beside a copper sheet, and it
falls very slowly because the eddy currents it induces as it falls.
