A few years ago I found Dale Young of Sedona, AZ. He does business as "Rattlesnake Magnets," and is a terrific source for Neodymiums,with the best prices I've seen:

I never would have guessed I'd find uses for a thousand magnets. . .

On a related subject; has anyone fabricated an electromagnet? I would like to build one similar to the ones used on the magnetic drill bases but have ont had any luck finding any written info. TIA for any help.

The rules are quite simple.
Keep the magnetic path reluctance LOW and the ampere turns HIGH. :-)

I seem to recall lindsay's had one or more in the last catalog I got someplace here.http://www.lindsaybks.com/

If you're looking for an electromagnet, check out a coil for an auto air conditioning compressor clutch. They're easy to come by, relatively inexpensive, easy to mount, and pack a lot of holding power for their size.

Is it just me or what? I feel like I'm in my second childhood when I see big magnets! You'd think at some point in life the magic would go away. Here I am, able to function just fine without these magnets but now I'm trying to figure out how I could use them and how many I should get !

It's a related sickness to tool-i-tist, machine-i-tist ect.

This is a fun site to check into ---------- http://my.execpc.com/~rhoadley/magindex.htm

I suspect anyone who suffers from toolitis, machinistism, etc. is affected by magnetic fields. Maybe related to higher iron content in the blood ????
I know I still like to play with magnets too. Break up old speakers for magnets, auto air conditioner clutches for electro-magnets, as said....

Funny situation used to exist here in Vancouver. The lower Lonsdale area used to be quite industrial with a large shipyard (I used to work there) & many smaller support industries. On E. 1 st. Street, there was a small jobbing machine shop, millwork shops, a magazine publisher (Forestry mag. "Logging & Sawmilling Journal"), Tormag Sales (sold magnets, of course) and a compass adjuster.....??? (Anyone see a problem here ?)

I always used to wonder how having a large pile of magnets for a neighbour used to affect the old guy & his "compass adjusting". Although a lot of work is done aboard ship....The guy was an old ship captain that had taken up another trade.

Gotta laugh at the world sometimes.
