  • In this video I show you how it is possible to have a permanent magnet that turns on and off with the flip of a switch. I show you several ways that a magnetic field can be blocked.

    I have seen this "switchable" magnet system on a portable drill press which uses magnets to attach itself to whatever steel item you are drilling, in my case, a large "I"beam.
    I was intrigued by the way it could be switched on or off just by turning a dial on the side, and now I know how it is done thanks to you!😉👍

    • @johninni4844
      @johninni4844 Рік тому +1

      old drill bases use a different method ..... There is another way to do this , old Machine shop magnetic bases use a round magnetic inside of steel cube with 1/4 inch of non ferrous brass separating the two Steel sides.. When the north -south poles of the magnetic are aligned n the brass the magnetic field / flux completes the path shunting the the magnet = Off condition . Switch On by rotating so north-south poles are aligned to the steel . The NIB magnet ( Neodymium ) design seen in the video has a more powerful holding force than the the old base but old Machine shop magnetic bases are still sold so must be cheaper.

    • @mellertid

    When welding frames, you can use a magnetic square that has a mechanical switch on it, once the magnet is "on", the square is able to stick to metal pretty easily, when flipping the switch "off", it interacts with some mechanical components that move the magnets inside the square away from the inner walls of the square, moving them as closely inwards as it can

    You can also suppress a permanent magnet using Lenz’s law, by coiling a wire around it in much the same way you would make an electromagnet but in reverse. Once you apply a current to the coil when arranged correctly it will suppress the permanent magnet with an equal and opposite electromagnetic polar force. We use this principle in railway engineering. You should give it a try :)

      They are done by powerful solenoids....the piece of metal that has to be magnetized is place inside the solenoid and very large amount of current is passed through the solenoid which in turn creates a strong magetic field around that metal and that metal becomes a permanent magnet.

      @1boobtube 3 роки тому +9

      Screwdrivers just rub it on a strong magnet or leave a small neo magnet stuck to it. It wont be that magnetic but will hold a screw. Real magnetizing fixtures use solid copper gold plated buss bars a truck battery size capacitor bank and I assume large transformer? to develop a quick massive current to the fixture. RUD can happen and blow the heads off the bolts if it's not done correctly. Not sure about the transformer but the capacitor bank is big enough to need wheels. Putting a pre magnetized pc in a fixture needs to be oriented correctly or you just made a missile.

    At 3:15 from what I understand it isn't about steel becoming "saturated" and "passing through" the flux, it's becoming magnetised and turning into a part of the magnet itself. The paper shows this, showing the steel block as a magnet, not a distorted shape of the magnet behind it.
