Just received a bunch of strong magnets supposedly for fixing the sliding
curtain/door. Wrong part as it happens, but anyway.

They came all stuck together in an ungainly clump (not in a nice package
as they usually do) and were a real ******* to slide apart because the
washers and the plastic bags had become entangled.

Photo as a reminder of what happens if your grip slips just after you have
slid two strong magnets apart.

Obviously going to be one of those days.

I know people with genital piercings H&S warning should be supplied with such magnets the last ones I brought did.

You don't need piercings.
I was in a client's office, and they had some large spherical rare
earth magnets about 30mm diameter holding notices on a metal notice
board. They were hard to pull off the board. I was playing with one,
and one of their staff told me to be careful. A few months before,
someone had put one in each trouser pocket, at which point they
smashed together very hard, and he had to be rushed to hospital in
agony.

The magnetic field won't be spherical.

the most dangerous is if children swallow them. They then pull together inside and shut of circulation to the tissues that are in between.

Once at CERN I had the chance to be inside a large electro-magnet with
the power on. About the size of a small room inside, it used 2MW DC.
You had to remove anything with metal in it - watch, belt, etc. Powered
up, it was then interesting to do things like take a solid alloy
cylinder about the size of a tin of baked beans, and support one side
of the bottom with a finger, and watch it rotate as if in almost zero
gravity. Once off your finger it then fell in the normal way.

If it had been AC that powered the magnet, you'd get induced eddy currents
and the "tin can" would glow red hot - now that would have been impressive.

I'd be no good in an AC magnet of that size because I had a metal stent
fitted in one of my heart arteries after a heart attack. A DC magnet would
be fine as long as the current was increased slowly rather than instant-on,
because stents are non-magnetic. Likewise presumably for metal hip joints.

Because they have north and south poles, and the field is strongest at
this point.

ICBA to search Youtube, but there are videos out there showing lumps of
copper being dropped down the axis of a hollow vertical strong
electromagnet, and falling very slowly because of eddy current "braking".

Blame exposure to books like "Comic and Curious Verse" in my childhood and
youth.

For example:

"Which I wish to remark,
And my language is plain,
That for ways that are dark
And for tricks that are vain,
The heathen Chinee is peculiar,
Which the same I would rise to explain."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Heathen_Chinee gives some explanation
of the poem, which set out to satirise racism but was instead taken
seriously by many.

http://twain.lib.virginia.edu/roughingit/map/chiharte.html for one
version of the full text. Worth a read IMHO.

I have read a lot of stuff in my time.

blood blisters. The magnet had to be slid off as it was too thin to
lift off.

An interesting thing to do is to drop a one down the inside of a copper
tube.

(I leave it as an exercise to the reader to work out what will happen.)

Electrifying?

I'm guessing it will drop very slowly.

Once at CERN I had the chance to be inside a large electro-magnet with
the power on. About the size of a small room inside, it used 2MW DC.
You had to remove anything with metal in it - watch, belt, etc. Powered
up, it was then interesting to do things like take a solid ally
cylinder about the size of a tin of baked beans, and support one side
of the bottom with a finger, and watch it rotate as if in almost zero
gravity. Once off your finger it then fell in the normal way.

ICBA to search Youtube, but there are videos out there showing lumps of
copper being dropped down the axis of a hollow vertical strong
electromagnet, and falling very slowly because of eddy current "braking".


Or more closely related, the other way around - strong magnet down
copper tube. Has to be a strong one mind...
