This is brilliant! Thank you for posting this. I tend to collect broken devices for their electronic components but will always keep an eye out to harvesting magnets as well. Now to watch your project videos for practical use cases.
I have pulled magnets out of old hard drives. They are very strong. I sometimes use them to find tiny screws that I have dropped on the floor. You can use some of the smaller ones inside sockets to hold nuts that you can't reach by hand. I forgot about the other places to get magnets like speakers, etc. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for the info. I was looking to see if there was an easier process to get neos out of speaker cups... The medium to big ones. After using acetone to dissolve the glue I end up having to use a hacksaw to cut the back off or another stronger magnet on the front and a flat head to pry and keep it on the magnet without getting sucked back in to the cup.
I usually use a screwdriver which breaks the magnet sometimes. They're usually glues with CA glue which is quite brittle so a few blows with a hammer might suffice. I've never tried acetone but that's a good idea.
I too have a magnet collection, but rather than scavenging them from devices I use my uncle's old magnet finder device to hunt them from ground 😂, it's only around 1-2 kg
@@Yonatan24 It's just like a normal metal detector but catches magnetic forces, my uncle had it when he was in the military, i don't it's quite common outside our country. And yes I basically just whoosh whoosh it on the ground and hope i get something. The beach is a good place to find em. 😂
@@Yonatan24 I sell metal to the scrap yards. I don't metal from Aluminium . When i buy a used car i check with the magnet to see if the car has bondo filling in the body. There's many things you can do with these things. You can make light with two magnets. Use it when the power go's out. I found out some years ago about these magnets and what they can do. Do ever throw them away. Magnets are in everything, earphones, radio's, just about everything. There are ton's of video about them. I am still learning from other people also. Good luck with your projects.
Well this is a relief, I thought I was the only one who scavenges for magnets… Obviously there are many other sources but the one I’ll include with this comment is mostly for guys, because girls likely are already aware. Women’s purses and wallets typically have magnets.
@@Yonatan24 thats why I want to do it, what is actually in sand, how much metal could you find by dragging a magnet on a string a few feet on the beach, might find some jewelry but thats not my over all goal. Its just something I've wondered about.
I have so many magnets, I don't know what to do with them! Does anyone have any ideas for more DIY projects I could use them on?

What would you recommend for the occasional power magnet found on refrigerator magnets? I have a few I thrifted and want to use for my projects but I’m having trouble fighting the adhesive and in one case the metal wraps around the magnet so it’s flush.
@@Yonatan24 server drives are not larger. They are 2.5 and 3.5 inches as are our normal laptop and desktop drives. The difference is in RPM. 7200 RPM has smaller magnets than 10000 and I've seen 15000 RPM drives with very powerful (thick) magnets. As you said, laptop slow 5400 RPM drives have the thinnest magnets.
@@george.carlin That probably explains why I've salvaged a few magnets that are thicker and much stronger than almost all others. I'll keep an eye out for this information. Thanks!
I've used the magnets for what I've showed and a bunch of other small things. Obviously most of the ones I've taken apart haven't been used for anything but they don't take up too much space so I won't be getting rid of them in case I ever need an for something.

This was really well done considering your budget. I'm so sad that marketing has replaced so much of the quality that made early youtube so good.
Thanks, I appreciate it!

Great idea with the sockets. You could glue a magnet to the tip of an adapter since the socket it's hollow.
Thanks for all the tips, I love magnets..
Glad to help!

@@Vik1919 i guess yeah
Means break good speaker for magneta...
Don't!
Hey good to see you back making videos! Cool ideas
Happy to finally get a video out! I've been very busy
Thanks. This helped a lot!
Glad it helped!
These are like real life Easter eggs! I wonder what else is hidden in plain sight in our homes and all around us?
The moment I heard that voice I knew I had to subscribe.😊
From Philippines: Thank you sir.😊
Glad to help!
Yeah sir helped me, because I was looking for a magnet. I saw your video and i was not wrong, thank you very much sir.😊💕
Omg I love you so much for making this video
Glad you liked it
GREAT VIDEO. I HAVE MANY MANY MAGNETS..I USED THEM EVERYDAY. I NEED TO BUY A VISE GRIP THO.
Nice, what have you used them for?

Wonderful video! Thank you for the information.
Glad to help!
THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU HELPED ME FROM BUYİNG ONE!
Excellent!
Those 2 wheeled hoverboards have a ton Of extremely strong neodymium magnets inside of the wheel motors that are maybe .25"x.5
I have 2 of those motors. Is yours a brushed motor? Because the ones I have are brushless and I don't remember seeing magnets inside, only many coils.
Brushless they will be on the outer rim on inside of wheel hub
@@foundationrepairbear thanks
How much magnet..you have collected..
In your precious collection
Too many!
That's good video I found 20 magnets in one day
Nice!!
is there a way to remove the metal cover that protects the magnet from the speaker? im talking about the one at 0:24
A vise or screwdriver works best
@@Yonatan24 no im not talking about the speaker cover, im talking about the actual metal cover that surrounds the entire magnet
The metal cup it'd glued to? Leave in inside, in many cases it amplifies the magnetic field.
what is, and where can you find the strongest magnet. I want to try beach combing to see what we can pull out of the sand
Certainly hard drives. But I don't know what you'd be able to find beyond small pieces of metal and dust. I'm interested in what you'll find
@@Yonatan24 thats why I want to do it, what is actually in sand, how much metal could you find by dragging a magnet on a string a few feet on the beach, might find some jewelry but thats not my over all goal. Its just something I've wondered about.

You could melt it then do a big one? or do sonthing else adter melting it.
@@DailyPianoBurak What do you mean?
you're passionate about magnets
Indeed!
Nice video but where can I find magnets ?
תבקש מדדי
Good video 👍🇬🇧❕
Glad you liked it!
I also have a group of Magnets (Mainly strong black barium ferrite) that I call my Bewitched Family. I have given them names!!! Thank you 🙏
Nice
Thank you.
Maan this helped me a lot
Headphone jack stuck in my laptop
I don't have almost all of these but i give my friends small magnets for keypad phones to get strong neodymium magnets or find broken phones
Nice

I'm not sure. Honestly your best bet would be to buy equivalent magnets and keep the ones you have.
ممتاز👍
Thanks!
the best place to find magnets is: brushless motors.
I haven't found them to be useful. What have you found?
@@Yonatan24 there are rectangular neodymium magnets in drone motors and even bigger ones in things like ebike motors.
Good to know! Where can you get bike motors?
If you ever come across the server 10000 rpm hard drive, they are even better. Monster strong.
Are these larger? Do you have a picture of what you're referring to?

sir megnats long taim wark ??? yes , no
I'm not sure I understand what you mean. These magnets do last a long time.
@@Yonatan24 i think he meant if it is temporary or permanent
@@zendo4902 They are permenent magnets, they don't lose their magnetism in any noticeable capacity.
Mines only 4 kg
Nice!
Thx man i have many headphone and speaker
Good luck, hope this helps!
You have missed a source of magnets, they may not be the strongest, but they have their uses. The magnets that hold fridge and freezer doors shut!
Interesting idea. I've never scavengend those.
I have a magnet collection i have 13 magnet
Nice
Please give me see magnets
Sorry some
@@stephanieojochukpahimi7831 I recommend you purchase them on eBay
2:20 hey u stole my siccors

oops!
😮😮😮
🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳 india
But 👍👍👍
Next question, what will we do with those magnets then? Go to trash?

Back when I built my magnetic tool wall I needed more magnets than I had at the time. I'll keep them for now.
@@Yonatan24 lo colection
@Ravi Avi Exactly👆🏻
I use the round flat ones for my popsicle butterfly knife
💯 hundredth comment
How make. A. Magnet🎉

Hey you can give me some magnet please india
I recommend you get them on eBay
I have so many magnets too . But I am no closer than you.🧲
