get a torsion wrench and pull them apart

nah, i just slided em out, wow they can be hard to seperate when they spring together and fit perfectly on top of each other so there's nothing to grip! i aint half lucky my nails needed cutting a few days ago and i never got around to it!

 

NIB = neodymium iron boron (just for those who didnt know!)

 

and what can i use em for?

earings! (if you have a daughter into modern art and doesnt have perarced ears AND you have a daughter)

thats just evil!

 

be careful they hurt when they pinch your fingers!

if you place em on either side of your finger then they dont hurt, although i imagine if they caught a bit of skin (and not the whole finger) then they would hurt.

yes if they slip they pinch the end (truest me from experience!).

 

Why is it evil? Jewlery on a shoe string!

i thought you meant clip em together on their ear-lobe!

 

shame i cant use em for a gauss rifle (theyre the wrong shape) coz i really want some NIB magnets for one.

well actually thats what i did mean, they dont hurt to much unless they catch skin....

ahhhh, sh**, yes they do hurt when they clip your skin....

 

i wouldnt wanna be your daughter!

i think it would start to hurt after a while, esp. as the ear-lobe is quite thin, increasing the amount of attraction between the two magnets.

oh yeah, also, shouldnt i keep this kinda powerful magnet away from ALL electrical devices?

 

what would happen if you put a magnet such as these near an electrical circuit?

i wounder what would be the affect to blood especially seing as Haemoglobin contains Iron

well, i mean Fe, Ni and Co is dissolved in the plasma, obvioulsy haemoglobin is not magnetic.

yeah, i once read here that magnets can have an effect on cells:

 

which university? I'd suggest something like the effect of magnetic fields on plants. It's a pretty interesting thing, i'm helping my friend with the experiment and some interesting things are happening. Makes me worried about the people living next to large magnetic fields though.

as you will see, i never really got a proper answer.

 

how do magnets effect electronic circuits? what happens to the electronics?

they can screw up FET transistors and any ploarised components i would guess

any idea of how close i can place a small NIB magnet to a electronic component before it becomes damaged?

i guess theres a formula out there mabye we ought to google it....(well its probably complicated and I wont understand it)

http://www.srcdevices.com/pdf/AN103_r2.pdf

is about the proximity of magnets to their coresponding reed switch (magnetically activated switch) there are some formulae... however i think it will also have to take into consideration the material from which the FET / polarised component is made from, so maybe it is too complicated to worth being worried about!

 

outta interest, what do people think of the:

"magnets will attract the iron in your blood all to one place"

sentence?
