Tom,
Where did you get a neodymium magnet of that size. I would love to have one that size or bigger. I have some that came out of hard drives and they are powerful, to say the least. j/b "Tom Gardner" wrote in message news My dear sister asked me how to retrieve a key on a ring that had fallen into a crack next to the stoop at home.

In Europe I know these guys do big magnets http://www.supermagnete.de/eng/magne...oup=blocks_big including some the size that was mentioned. They do have a policy though of not selling to the US or Canada IIRC. Some people that supply magnets for wind generators do ones this big so maybe try them. I know I have seen links to supplier of large magnets in the US such as http://www.magnetsales.com/Neo/Neorect.htm |

The platters (aluminum) make great windchimes if you're into that sort of thing, as well. I got a bunch of Seagate Sabre V IPI-2 drives. They are massive blocks of aluminum with roughly 8" platters. They were off Sun machines, but may well have been pre-90's. I've been salvaging them mostly for the aluminum housings, but saved the motors, magnets, platters, etc. Jon |

Dunno about credit cards, but a bank employee complained that I hadn't signed my "client card" until I pointed out to her that I had, indeed, signed the card, but, over the last several years and many trips through our domestic laundry equipment, the matte finished signature strip was only about 3% there. She went out and got me a new card to sign. Gerry :-)} London, Canada |

Reminds me of the movie " The Big Easy " where they put a big magnet
(intentionally) next to a magnetic video tape of a cop taking a bribe. Blank video. Case dismissed. Seems the cop called the evidence tech and asked him if he was ready for a promotion, and where to place the big magnet that came in on a vandalism case. Steve |

We have a special wooden cabinet where we store all our magnets, packed in cardboard, bubble wrap, and whatnot.

You also want a box that puts the outside of the box four or more times the diameter of the magnet away. There is a way to handle magnets that minimizes the hazards that has to do with holding them so the poles oppose each other when holding them, and bringing them together at right angles, with materials between them during handling so you can arrange them as you need. As odd as it sounds, you need to hold them as if they are trying to pull together at all times, with tense muscles, so that if and when the pull strength pulls them together, your body is ready; you'll never be able to react fast enough unless you're already tense. Strong fields are also a no-no for those with pacemakers or other implanted devices. The magnet suppliers ship the larger ones with plastic separators between them, wrapped in bubblewrap very carefully. I advise you to mind that your watch, credit cards, and other magnetic media, electronic equipment, and a number of other items are all at risk when strong fields are present. If I see that my watch has stopped for a certain period, I know that I've been working at the exposure limit. By the way, my watch is analog for that reason. |

Carl,
How do I say what I want to say in reply to your reply to me? I most certainly do not want to make an enemy and I really know that you meant well and only want to prevent me or others from some amount of grief in handling these magnets. Further, I don't wish to embarrass you but, call it a personality disorder or quirk however, I really get agitated when I am 'nannied'. I have been around since dirt and have tinkered with just about everything except fissionable material - would love to do so. I am getting closer to the dirt so, unless it is something that swoops down and grabs me in ways that I cannot see, taste, smell, hear, such as CO or something else that a normal person who keeps informed would know about, please let me splatter out my little brains while not wearing a seat-belt or a crash helmet or get - if I had one - my Pacemaker in an electrostatic and/or an electromagnetic field, or eat wild mushrooms without knowing the good from the bad or walking down a dark alley in the ghettoes of Detroit at 3 a.m. Thanks and please, no offense meant j/b "Carl M" wrote in message ...

Wes I bought it for an idea that I had that I couldn't use a spring to apply pressure. The idea was changed and the magnet became a curiosity and is great for pulling little pieces of wire or swarf from fingers or feet...that happened a lot. |

I have some that came out of hard drives and they are powerful, to say the least. j/b http://www.kjmagnetics.com/proddetai...od=DY0X0%2DN52 Don't hold one close to your noodle or your boys! |
