What are we talking about when we say “magnetic coupling?” Well, a magnetic coupling comprises two essential components: the driver and the follower. The driver connects to the prime mover, typically a motor, while the follower responds to the driver's motion through magnetic interaction. Advantages of Magnetic Coupling Setup This setup facilitates a contactless transmission of mechanical energy, offering several...
Have you heard of altermagnets, a new kind of magnet and magnetism that is made from a blend of several different classes of existing magnets? As is progressively more important in our modern world, they could be used to make high-capacity and fast memory devices, as well as new types of magnetic computers. Continue reading →
Have you ever passed a group of enormous wind turbines and wondered how they work? Aside from wind to turn their fan blades, turbines don’t require a lot; however, they’re highly complex. One thing they do require is strong, permanent magnets like neodymium magnets. Continue reading →
We have written about how modern wind turbines function through the use of magnets, but what happens when these turbines need updates? On a fairly regular basis, aging turbines need completely new rotors, blades, and generators, which can contain hundreds of pounds of rare-earth metals. As less than 1% of rare earths are recycled globally, they usually just end up in a landfill. What a wasted opportunity! Continue reading →
Did you know there is still a significant market for quartz analog wristwatches, even in the era of smartwatches? The research says in recent years they account for nearly three-quarters of the market for conventional wristwatches — which is estimated to value $66 billion dollars in the U.S. this year. That is larger than the global market for smartwatches. Continue reading →
While superheroes are a significant part of pop culture, they are just fictional beings. In Atlanta, however, one man has become a real-life superhero by using magnets to rid local roads of sharp objects that could puncture tires. See how he is helping commuters around the region by keeping them safe from this dangerous (and costly!) nuisance. Continue reading →
In the heart of Dayton, Ohio, lies a legacy of innovation that has shaped the modern world's understanding of magnetism. While magnets have been part of human knowledge since ancient times, it was the groundbreaking work of researchers like Dr. Karl Strnat and Dr. Alden Ray that propelled magnetic materials into the forefront of scientific exploration. Continue reading →
Magnet grades serve as a sort of compass to navigate the intricate world of magnetic materials, guiding people through the nuances of strength and position. In this exploration, we start to unravel the mysteries surrounding pull force, gauss, and N numbers, as well as the often perplexing language of magnets. Continue reading →
From the existence of monopole magnets to their capabilities in the cold, there are plenty of magnet myths/theories. That is why we are taking a look at another popular myth regarding the power of magnets once they are placed in water. Do they really lose a considerable amount of strength? Can they retain their current capabilities? Is it possible that this change makes them stronger? Let’s find out! Continue reading →
Embarking on a journey into the avant-garde realm of modern furniture design, you might just encounter a concept that defies expectations and captures the imaginations of both creators and design aficionados – the Tensegrity Table. Beautiful pieces of furniture, these tables employ the forces of tension and magnets to craft suspended masterpieces that appear to challenge the laws of gravity. Continue reading →
