I used to work at a magnet factory. It definitely had its positives and negatives
What attracted you to work there?
Must have been his field.
I worked on the other side of the factory. My experience was the polar opposite...
I prefer work that's a little more self-directed. I feel like everyone at the magnet factory is acting in lockstep.
Except Lorentz, he's a pretty nice guy I've heard. Always pushes everyone to keep moving
I think it all went south eventually
They actually hate magnets but for some reason that drew them to the work anyways
Must have been difficult to leave the job.
You mean iron becomes magnetic.... Not magnets become magnetic, how can a magnet become magnetic if a magnet is magnet because it's already magnetic.
Who are you and why you are so smart in the ways of science?
A duck
A magnetic duck!!?
"Magnets become magnetic when they pass by it, now they're magnets!"
Dammit I looked everywhere. This is why I love this sub.
You'd think for how smart everyone says and claims AI to be, it would realize how bad fake voices are... Especially this vocal fry of a valley girls voice, and it would make a new one
Cool video but had to mute. I want to break things around me when I hear this fake voice.
Yo but did you hear the chatGPT-4o voice? It’s not perfect but it’s gotten pretty good
This is not an AI voice, it's the plain old computerized voice being used for decades and tiktok just made it sound a little different.
Actual AI voices sounds scarily human. Download ChatGPT (for free) [don't accidentally install the fake app] on your phone, make a free account and then voice chat with it (again, for free), it's completely natural and human-like, I cannot find any flaws at all after hours of talking to it over the course of a month.
This. MacBooks for example, have had a voice for decades. You can type whatever you want and highlight it and press speak. Been a thing forever.
Not AI. Just plain ol programming.
Well… also you only notice cus it’s fake..
Okay, I'm not too smart and I didn't understand what happened to the discs.
There is a powerfull electric magnet inside (basically a copper coil and an iron core that is there for closing the magnetic circuit.) Every of these little magnets is positioned in the magnetic circuit, the applied voltage on the copper coil causes a flow of electrons, that causes a magnetic field which causes a magnetic flux through the magnetic circuit and the little magnet which finally causes the magnetic monopoles inside the little magnets material to all direct themselves accordingly in one uniform direction. Then the little magnet is magnetized.
I’m not knowledgeable enough to know what you actually mean, but I’m pretty sure magnetic monopoles are purely theoretical right now.
Nah, electrons and protons are electric monopoles though, and their alignment within the material is what makes it magnetic.
I think that's what makes them magnetic anyway. That's what Feynman said.
I see, interesting thanks
Erm… not die if i used the right word here. I mean the molecules that form the small magnetic grains that produce the magnetic field of they all are aligned in one direction.
the molecules that make up a magnet have a positive and negative side. if enough of those molecules are lined up right, then the whole object has a positive and negative side, making it magnetic. prior to the magnetization, the molecules weren’t aligned correctly and canceled each other out. the big electromagnet aligned them.
What are these parts for?
Looks like single-pole neodymium disc magnets, so they're extremely generic in application and relatively strong. Anything from magnetic closures to auto aligning coffee making equipment and more.
single-pole
Wait what?
Some magnets have really funky fields wherein there are opposing directions in certain areas, all depending on the field in which they were created in. I think a use case is in small electric motors or something.
Would these magnets lose their magnetic properties if you ran electricity through them or subjected them to violent force like throwing them against the ground?
Electricity would not cause much effect, if any, since they are conductors. Being violent with these sorts of magnets, however, is commonly warned against for exactly this reason.
Neodymium magnets are also quite brittle
It depends on electricity current. You totally can kill magnetic properties with electricity. But more common way is to use heat. If magnet heated high enough, it loses magnetic properties. Basically, enough energy allows magnetic sectors to realign in chaotic way.
What are the smaller magnets for and why are they mixed with the threaded bolts.
Those arent bolts but the smaller magnets attaching to each other and forming pillars
r/woosh ?
No I think it was a genuine question. They do look like threaded bolts at first blush
Yeah I know, that's why I put a "?" after the woosh
I should have specified I wasn't sure if it was one
No lol
As far as use goes, mostly I see them used to keep things closed. Like a sewn inside cloth to keep a pocket or purse closed. Or embedded in a box/lid. They can be put in anything tho like flashlights or magnetic hooks.

Magnets gets magnetized by an electromagnet to become a magnet
Don't people learn in school how magnets work? We were taught about magnetic properties of individual clusters, and that strong enough magnetic field can realign clusters so that total magnetic moment is non zero. It is like 8 or 9th grade of school in my country
It's been a long time since I was in school, not sure what levels the specific concepts get taught at these days. I got taught about electromagnets, magnetic fields, polarity, and alignment in like, third or fourth grade, but I don't think the concept of magnetic domains was introduced until freshman physics, in college.
Sneaky watermark on the pause. Chef’s kiss.
This may be the only time I don’t hate the auto voice
