Neo magnet stands for Neodymium magnet which is slated as the most powerful magnet on earth. Here is a link on neo magnet.

I've seen it before during my Physics class
It's really REALLY small but its darn strong :o

What are the effects that can be used for? :unsure: :unsure:

Walk into a junkyard with the super power magnet and you will know the effects. :P

shit.. u can kill people with this.
Droicut - March 20, 2006 02:18 PM (GMT)
My god... what trick warrants the use of such powerful magnets? T_T
But then again... I heard Apple Earphones (or was it one of their dock speakers?) uses Neo magnets...
lukold - March 20, 2006 03:21 PM (GMT)
hmm. driocut, wanna do a intro on yourself at the intros and hellos section?
seriously, if anyone is gonna get this from godknowswhere. Count me in.

Don't forget to order plutonium ores too.

Ya its true, Some apple headphones used those magnets, (General Knowledge, sound is produced by waves, and magnetic waves convert the sounds) And this magnets are super expensive, consider the strength of it, there is alot of things could be used. But hmm, u think its worth it to get those in?
Paradoxt - March 21, 2006 01:30 PM (GMT)
well, you can walk into a room full of computers and TVs and watch them "magically" get destroyed. =D

I think this is a myth to a certain extent. If your appliances are properly shielded (Which most are nowadays), nothing will happen.
For LCDs, you would see some discoloration as you bring the magnet close, and if you hold it there for prolong periods of time, you might damage it. But if its just a passing moment, it will be fine.

It'll happen if you're around a MRI machine. Other than that, I don't think things will come flying at you.

There is NO such thing as magnetic waves. There is only electromagnetic waves that have absolutely nothing to do with the production of sound. Magnets create a magnetic field, and when a current-carrying conductor sets up its own magnetic field when electricity is passed through it, the interference of the two fields produce motion that vibrates a membrane, producing sound. Hence the stronger the magnet used, the higher sensitivity of the earphones, and thus better quality of sound.

Sry for double posting.
These magnets are one of the cheapest magnets out there, in terms of strength to price ratio. Large neodymium magnets bigger than roughly a 6cm cube would cause TVs and VCRs in the same room to malfunction.
Btw Andy, LCD screens arnt the only ones affected. Cathode-ray tube monitors are more severly affected. Basically, anything that has movable metal pieces or is an electronic device will get owned by this magnet if not shielded. All you need to shield them is a box that is made of steel. Also these magnets can wipe out casette and VCR memory if brought too close. They are also known to be able to stop watches.
Also if I may add, diehard motorcycle fans attach neodymium magnets to their exhaust pipe or something to supposedly improve its performance. Maybe you could sneak around some motorcycle shops near you.
Hope that helps. -Keith

Already did. But my post count has been stuck at 1 :huh:
Anyway, these magnets really are strong. But... do we really need such strong magnets? :huh: Would be fun to have one of these around :P

I'd rather have the ring version... I think the bigger ones is impossible to bring in since they can't travel by air. And anyways, ships have navigation systems too right? Is it possible to travel via land only from states to SG?

Posts in certain sections will not increase post counts. Apparently, you have not read the rules yet, please read the rules. :off:
jonatha - March 22, 2006 07:38 PM (GMT)
hey everyone... :off: haha back to the topic anyone knows where to get it or anything to replace it?
Aloy - March 23, 2006 02:15 AM (GMT)
Becareful when handling and using these magnets.
When you walk past metal structures, it will look kinda strange when your front pocket suddenly go stick yourself onto the busstop or lamp-post.
And when you are in a restuarant, becareful not to walk too close to other tables when going to the toilet. It's funny to explain why 1/2 the table's forks are like stuck near to your crotch. B)
I once had a neo magnet in my pocket and I forgot abt it. I later drop my wallet and mobile phone in to the same pocket and it screwed up my phone.
And my every magnetic strip card I had in my wallet. My atm cards, debit cards, credit cards, some of my id cards, some store value cards...etc etc..
All gone. Had to replace all of it. It wasn't very fun. <_<
These are a little too much hassle to use casually.
xuanweng - March 23, 2006 04:06 AM (GMT)
just asking... will it spoil the bus/train ez-link card scanner? if yes, there is no point buying because you cant even travel with it. later being jailed for destroying public property.
Markiebeth - March 23, 2006 05:52 AM (GMT)
I'm currently using the Wizard PK Ring which happens to be of neo magnet and I can safely say that I still get pass the mrt barriers safely thus proving the fact that it will not affect the cards.
I believe however as Aloy has mentioned that stronger/bigger pieces of magnets will certainly cause inevitable damage to your possession if you're careless in handling them.
If you really want to use magnets for any of your magic effects, it is strongly recommended that you do purchase magic products in existence which makes use of them. Reason for this being so is the developers are magicians like us and they do take into account the common worries we have and thus manufacture the products in a 'less hazardous' way.
lukold - March 23, 2006 06:25 AM (GMT)
hmm.. still, where can we get it"?

Not true, they can be shipped via air if they are properly covered with aluminium.

Thanks for the clarification. Actually I think most of us are looking for the smaller variation. Who needs a big chunk of metal to carry around doing magic? I wouldn't mind buying a small one. Or if there's a ring version specifically made for magicians, all the better.
zib - March 23, 2006 12:06 PM (GMT)
lol.. it's kind of hilarious. imagine walking around with it and accidentally getting stuck to a lamp post or something... :lol:
sorry that i have nothing constructive to offer... -_-

There are already so many magnetic rings out in the market, just do some searching and you will be able to find one you like :)
