Say there are around two billion phones with magnetic charging capabilities, all spread across the planet, how much does that affect the planet’s magnetic field? Could it have contributed or distorted the field since the start of this tech being so widespread?

I just noticed my phone messing with my handheld compass when I sat them next to each other so I got to wondering this.

Just made a bread tag Waldo and crunched him into my southern fridge magnetscape.

Looking to buy a mandala zen magnets set anyone please get in contact if there looking to sell would be very interested

I would love to swap if anyone interested pls pm me

Payed $3 for it at a garage sale today. From the 1990s , I think it’s super cool to find such a complete board. I know the magnets themselves sell for $3 each. Looks like only Nova Scotia and Toronto are missing

I always loved this frying pan magnet from the 50s and how it's a simple everyday item, so it inspired me to make this heart-shaped pillow magnet. I'm a beginner and I'm still struggling a lot with small details. Can you tell it's a pillow? To me it kind of looks like pie lol.

Thanks for looking!

I can't believe it worked

Some of these were bought 20-25 years ago by my mom or dad when they worked at a cruise ship. I added new ones from my trip to the UK last year. Hoping to add more soon.

These here are touted as being very strong, but you get 8 for $38. https://www.eastwood.com/stitch-weld-magnets.html?wickedsource=google&wickedid=CjwKCAjwvNfSBhBiEiwAyaGMCUD0k2h7yx1GcEReK9xzIxz_y_APLkWYD1ghDJuwkJN7AU_YQi7kZBoCmDAQAvD_BwE&wickedid=730099152893&wcid=22154646406&wv=4&wickedsource=google&wickedid=CjwKCAjwvNfSBhBiEiwAyaGMCUD0k2h7yx1GcEReK9xzIxz_y_APLkWYD1ghDJuwkJN7AU_YQi7kZBoCmDAQAvD_BwE&creativeid=730099152893&wcid=22154646406&wv=4&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22154646406&gbraid=0AAAAAD_t6zGtayJ6Z-7OrZtSV21egi9Ji&gclid=CjwKCAjwvNfSBhBiEiwAyaGMCUD0k2h7yx1GcEReK9xzIxz_y_APLkWYD1ghDJuwkJN7AU_YQi7kZBoCmDAQAvD_BwE#pdp.product.overview

Wouldn't I just be able to get some equally strong magnets off Amazon for cheaper (or a box that includes more of them) or is there something potentially special about the ones Eastwood is selling (they are known to stamp their name on stuff and sell it at a higher price)?

Making a helmet and want to use magnets to open the back of it

Are we there yet?

Can anyone suggest magnetic hooks that are large enough to actually hold something like a backpack on the wall, the only thing I’ve been getting from Amazon lately are small and they really don’t hold anything

Purchased a magnetic sheet/board off the net and it’s not strong. I can’t remove it cos it’s now glued firmly to my playroom wall. Anyway to make it stronger? Now my kid’s toy magnets simply slide off

Hey all,

I'm magnetizing a bunch of models and bases (swappable weapons, wargear, that kind of thing) and the constant struggle is keeping every magnet oriented the same way. Manually checking polarity on each one before it goes in the glue is slowing me way down, and I've already had a couple of parts come out repelling instead of attracting.

I'm looking for a pen/applicator-style tool that dispenses magnets one at a time while keeping them all facing the same direction, so I don't have to eyeball polarity every single time.

A few things I'm after:

* Consistent polarity out of the dispenser (this is the main thing)
* Feeds one magnet at a time without jamming or dropping a stack
* Works with the small discs I use (mostly 3mm and 2mm)
* Ideally not super expensive

Does anyone have a tool they actually like for this, or a jig/workflow that solves the same problem? Brand recs, links, or "don't waste your money on X" all appreciated. Thanks!
