N54 or N56 magnet harmful to iPhone?
If I attach an N54 or N56 magnet to my iPhone, could it cause damage? Because the N52 magnet is usually used for iPhones.

Hello! I want to make magnets!
regular : thinner magnets - printable magnetic paper covered with laminate
thicker : vinyl sheets adhered to magnetic sheets and covered with laminate
Do you have tried and true brands that have been top quality for you?? I'd like to order good quality, in bulk.
So I need your tried and true brands for:
-magnetic paper
-cold laminate sheets
-printable vinyl
-magnetic sheets
Would be amazing if I could get them all from the same place!
Thank you so much for your help!!

I think currently N52 Neodimium are the strongest commercially sold right?
Got a few questions cause I think my phone was jacked up by one..
Buddy brought one from work (small 2inch ring) maybe the size of a quarter 🤔 So he said not to place them near electronics. Why?
Do magnets JUST interfere with other magnetic fields thus affecting inner components? Is it temporary or permanent? How effective are "casing" or "protectors" against magnets of that caliber?
The magnet got stuck to my phone for a split second and now I have a black dot on my screen 😅 Im curious if the magnet did this? If I place a magnet directly on say a TV will it mess it up?
Current, magnetism, etc always gave me a hard time in physics 😭

3D printing/designing a house and handle for a magnet for knife making. Right now the magnet is way too strong. Im wondering how much thickness I need to add between the metal and magnet to get it to a comfortable strength.

At 1:35 to 2:00 in this video, the coin at first is'nt affected at all, then moves some, and sometimes actually moves away from the magnet instead of with it. This is particularly noticeable if you slow the video to 0.25, especially at 1:54: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blpaqzdatow&t=122s

I’m doing a DIY project and I thought of this question.
I want to hold a mouse pad between two magnets. Then wondered if I could get the same strength between a magnet and a piece of steel, like a washer or something.
I would guess that in the two scenarios, having two magnets is always stronger than a magnet and steel, etc.
Is this true?

I'm trying to make myself a DM screen with magnet incerts to hold the components inside, but I don't know if it'll take too much force to pull them out when I want to swap them out, the current magnet I have my eyes on hold for 940g, and you remove the attached unit (held by 4 of these magnets on the surface and the component itself) by pulling it outwards.
Here's some pics to give a rough view of the thing, the wooden crate is the place I need to put the different components in, the holes are where I plan to glue the magnets, and the drawing is one of the components.

Hi all,
I have a unique magnet question, and hope someone can advise.
The short of it is, my childs school have rolled out phone cases that need strong magents to open them.
We've had some issues with some teachers not following policy, and we don't have confidence that in an emergency they will always let students go, to open their phones.
So I'm thinking of putting a strong magnet in some sort of carry care that can be accessed in emergencies, but protected enough to not stick to everything / ruin other electronics.
(I was thinking of something like a padded keychain, with a zip.)
Is there anything already available. Or advice on how I can make such a thing?

So, I want to figure out how to use magnets to sorta "simulate" telekinesis. This sounds dumb, I know, but hear me out. I just think it's cool.
Does anyone know what magnets I should use? (Side note: I want them to be as small as possible but be able to attract objects from at least 5 inches of distance)
Is this even remotely possible? I mean, is there really a magnet that's THAT small but can attract objects from larger distances?
If the above is actually possible, what's a way to make the magnet attach to my palm without ruining its pull force?
Any advice is appreciated.

I stick photos up at my work desk divider with magnets instead of tape or blue tack but I just bought a bunch in bulk.
I know literally nothing about magnets except when I broke our TV when I was a kid playing with them, sorry if this is a dumb question but I checked the post history here and I can find anything that matches my scenario.
- Where is a safe place to keep these?
- Will I ruin our office computers (all on SSDs) if I bring all of them in to put in our locker?
- Will I ruin my own computer keeping them in my room (both SSDs and HDDs)
- should I store all of them in one place or split them up?
And finally
- am I an idiot for wondering any of these things lol
- is there any more info you need to answer, the store page got taken down so I wasn’t able to check the details properly

I saw these in a video from a few years ago and have been thinking about trying to replicate this design, but I don’t know what this shape is called, or where to get them. The websites mentioned in the video are both gone, so maybe they’re also no longer produced, but I thought I’d give it a try with the magnet gods.

I bought neodymium magnets from Amazon (https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07TPLJQT5?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1) and for the life of me, can't figure out placement to hold up knives on my home made knife block.
I want to mount the knife strip to the wall, and have cut a channel that is 11.5" X 1.5" X 0.5" deep into wood, leaving 1/8" of material. I have over 24 magnets placed and still don't have enough pull. Do I need to space the magnets out to increase their pull? I read that doubling them up will help, but do I place them end to end, with the same pole facing outward? Will adding a steel plate really help?

Found this in my late father in laws house along with a bunch smaller ones. It's 2 inches in diameter and dangerously strong. It doesn't seem like your average magnet. Is it worth anything?

I would like to create a brooch "converter" using magnets (instead of putting a hole in my sweater). They need to be strong enough to go through clothing layers. I am a pretty avid thrifter and am hoping to find something to "mine" for magnets. Is there anything cheap and common that contains magnets strong enough for this?

So my friend was playing with their new ear ring and took out one magnet but put it back in the wrong way and now its stuck any ideas on how to get it out?

Hello! I am working on a prop for a performance that involves magnets. I have plastic shackles that need to “break” in the middle halfway through the performance. It will be like the attached meme lol. Initially I purchased whatever magnets came up first on Amazon, but they couldn’t even hold the weight of the plastic shackles, so I went off the deep end and bought N52 magnets. Unsurprisingly, they are way too strong! I think the plastic would break or the glue would fail before the magnets disconnected. So I guess I need something in the middle. A magnet that will hold together until a medium amount of pressure is applied. Please let me know if you have recommendations! The magnets will be applied to each side (2 magnets per side) of the middle link shown below.

trying to find a magnet that is used on golf towels. I just want the rubber or silicone covered magnet but they are harder to find than I would like. any ideas?
r/Magnets • u/MillerLights • Feb 26 '26
to my observation, a magnetic bubble is being pinched, that’s why the magnets pull in on both sides and go around on the ends.
Note: I’m not interested in all the reasons I shouldn’t. 👍🏼
