Dude I didnt expect magnet making to be this intense man holy shit.
Oh Crounches Yeah. me neither what the fuck
Same i thought they melt metal and add some neodymium craps
Same I thought they took people to a village in Africa to burn them alive in order to extract the metals from their blood in which they pour into magnet molds. This video seemed to disprove my predictions. How extraordinary!
Check out magnetic fields in a university physics textbook, incredible stuff.
"then they beat the shit out of the mold with a sledgehammer "
For those of you thinking that this process is wasteful and sloppy, let me introduce you to the metal industry, where a lot of processes like this are the norm. Mass-produced designs for items like these are very hard to make safely in any kind of laboratory or workshop, and factories rarely involve some kind of quiet, safe environment. Metalworking in general is very loud, messy, and slightly dangerous. That doesn't mean that a lot of the materials go to waste, though; the sand, concrete, and metal scraps used are usually ground down, cleaned, and recycled for later use again, since its mostly just silicates and metals. The metals are even sometimes chemically sifted back into their base components and reused as well, since they're the same metals that will go into the magnets anyway.
This is coming from a guy who worked as a metalworker/welder for a few years, and who has absolutely set himself on fire several times from just being around red-hot metal for too long. It's just the way it is.
Damn
@@Nostalgicinquisitor you and me both
@@lucasjustlucas2176 lol
That's very insightful. Looks really dangerous, especially the guy pouring metal into that furnace with a short sleeve shirt.
@Sebastian Thor Nope, that's just the way the industry is in general. Some countries have worse practices, but it's mostly the same. When you're dealing with handeling molten metal, there's not much else you can do
I can't believe that when it comes to manufacturing magnets, one of the steps to getting magnets out of their molds is to beat the living crap out of it.
How would you do it?
And they're literally getting paid for beating some random stuff
- you not gonna magnetite? let me make you to
They also take their lunch money...it's a good career choice for bullies
Yea
I thought it would be an organized assembly line, instead they bust open flaming sand using a sledgehammer
The most explosive how it’s made I’ve seen
Lol i agree! I wasnt expecting that, but hey! It seems to work!
A certain part of my modern brain understands the physics behind magnetism, but the rest of my brain refuses to completely believe that it isn't just magic.
I mean, let’s be honest here, it _is_ magic at the end of the day.
Or, could it be that this is yet another example, that shows how all the fundamental pieces of this reality were designed to function as a symphony of predictable results.
@@davidprothro6763 What a load of pseudo-intellectual nonsense
@@cassanateli shut
Yeah
Never thought that making magnets is so labour intensive and difficult. Really expected the process to be almost fully automated. Thanks for the video!
It probably is for the very common shapes and sizes. This looked to be more custom products.
Metallurgy may be more automated in developed countries, but since the huge majority of it is done in poorest countries, it does end up being more labour intensive.
These are probably from the '80s or '90s 😂
This looks like a shop that makes low volume custom shapes. These are also cheap nickel-iron based magnets. They are still used in cheap dc motors and similar products, but high efficiency and industrial products almost all use neodymium-iron-boron magnets, which are much stronger, and made via sintering, to tune their properties more precisely. Those are generally made in massive batches. And the processes are much more automated.
"So what do you do for a living?"
"I beat the shit out of flaming sand blocks"

Pretty cool job to be honest.
this is what videogames will qualify you for
i was just rolling logs down a hill at a big monkey yesterday :)
with a motherfucking Sledgehammer!!
I want to hear this man read me a bedtime story
lol
with some music?
And then the wolf huffed and puff and blew air into the magnet molds (upbeat music)
Gay
Me too this man just has the best voice
It is mind blowing how the process to make this is so intensive, but yet they sell for so cheap
These are not cheap Walmart/ HarborFreight magnets. Some magnets go for over $100.
There is no prestige in the process.
Even tho its important, there is no CEO on a press conference to build the hype around it
This is ridiculous nonsense, what did I just watch?
I've been wondering how this magnet was made since the age of 3. After 40 years I understand.
Wow
me to, but now i'm so amaze and thankful because i'm part of magnet industry,
Same here
I thought they already exist in nature lol
@@goxyeagle8446 It does
@@ashisheady8841 yeah it does I just did research
I honestly did not expect this much manual work!
It's like giving pieces of metal super powers.
Wow, a lot of work goes into making these. Kudos to the people doing it every day!
It’s 2am. I’m lying here in my bed trying to get to sleep and the stupid thought of how tf magnets are made is literally keeping my up. I was so worked up I got my phone and searched up this video. Needless to say I’ve finished with more questions than I started with and now I really cannot get to sleep.
Dude, true story, same here
“Then they electrocute it after electrocuting it after heating it five times and boom, magnets” IM SORRY WHAT
I bet whoever invented them must have thought they had the force
These are artificial magnets, natural ones exist too. Question is, were magnets discovered or invented first?
@@j.k.4479 The way I heard it, they were discovered first; a Greek sheperd named Magnus was herding his sheep when his metal staff got mysteriously stuck to some hematite rocks on the hillside. At least, so I've heard
@@pranavghantasala6808 If that's true, that makes for an interesting way to discover something.
4:19 He is proud on what he does.
He should he, he was probably making much more $ than 70% of the world
2:25 look at that high tech cooling system! XD
How to make magnets:
2:32 You need a magnet.
Not true.
I used the magnet to make the magnets
@@MrStringybark Wow, you are so smart.
Weaker magnets will do the work just fine..there are naturally formed magnets, but it's very weak.....guess that's how they made the first magnet....by using the natural magnet......
You could just search it normally and you would still find it, the workers are using magnets to speed up the process
"I used the magnet to make the magnet"
Well first u found a weak one
@@mattlogue1300 it's an avengers reference
It is amazing how this thing is made and the power it holds too
Informative to say the least. As a kid, I had a set of Brio trains that depended on magnets to link them together. What was interesting however, was the fact that if you did a 180 (Half circle) on any of the train cars, and the polarity was the same, they repelled each other instead of attracting. As a 'youngin', I was mindblown by the concept and would always try to force them to link. Obviously, no such luck :P
I would do the same thing but with the pen shaped things of those magnet maze things that used to be in libraries
Huggbees really does follow a bit of the original script. Nuts
For the first 20 secs
“They take copper, cobalt, some yellow shit, pure iron, aluminum, and titanium.”
I was attracted to this video.
prateek jevoor did you find the video polarizing too?
f-ing magnets how do they work.
Badum tss
You're probably a large piece of shitty metal then
Nice pun.
That is so interesting to note. I never knew how it was made but thank you for your education.
I've always thought how magnets would be made but for some reason i didn't searched it till now and now that ive seen it, it has matched my expectations of "there must be some hardwork to make these things"
Amazing...
Thanks and more power..
in my childhood i was wondering magnets came from. now i know and working in magnet industry since 2016 up to present and its awesome! ..
1:41 that’s so dangerous, the melted metal is splashing up around him 😂
They know how to handle it
Genuinely crazy how someone thought about mixing all that stuff together or that process to make something as simple as a magnet.
It's called Divine inspiration
The gods give us all of our ideas. We are just containers and antennas.
@@JEFFQUICKLE9 its called research and testing
Jesus is lord and he loves you
It didn't begin like that I can tell you that much.
Next up on my UA-cam journey “who made the first magnet”
🤯
A very hard subject to figure out tbh, just try figuring out how they made magnets before they had generators to make electricity, how did they make electricty? i've been so confused by this
@@matthewsharp1178 Natural magnets. Those can be created in nature because of lightning strikes.
We need more How it's Made UK! SUPER nostalgic for this narrator's voice.
Seeing videos like this, helps me appreciate how affordable there products are.
Wowwww I had NO idea, this was actually how its done. Learn something new everyday. Thank you for the upload!
There's got to be a better way
Buying them from China
@@pierreuntel1970 👌
Put an iron rod wrapped it eith copper coils on a hill then wait for lighting
@@q_asi5397 Dr.Stone
@@shs1tutaan509 yup
One of the best videos ever.
and the grinding OMG THAT GAVE ME THE FEELINGS
"You can't feel the force causing this globe to rotate" well actually, I have a magnetic implant lmao, I def could feel it.
I’m not the only one? Cool 😎
What is that even? If I can ask of course.
@@reclutacontramontina5354 on me? Just look up the treatment of hydrocephalus, that’s all you need to know
@@pacificcoastpiper3949 Oh ok, thanks man.
@@reclutacontramontina5354 basically, it is a small magnet that I implanted into my ring finger that allows me to feel magnetic fields
How could one invent something like this many years ago is almost unbelievable.
1:49 forbidden toblerone looks yum
💀
Thanks for this video
I wish I had a magnet that attracted hedgehog tears
Why tho
Very informative channel
2:10 seems like one of the most fun jobs on earth, knocking down a flaming block of sands and then hiting them with a sledgehammer.
1:53 at this point this video gets unexpectedly hardcore. Jesus, that's though job
now we know how its made we are still left with the question, how do they work?
Miracles obviously
they work in the same way that you can't push your hand through a table
Thanks for solving my curiousity.
Wonderful information
This is insane. Who could think of making a procedure like this to make magnets?
0:35
hmm that looks odly familiar
oh no
so fun to watch i watched it 10 times now
It always amazes me that I didn't know that I really wanted to know something...never given this a thought before now!
ICP - Miracles
There's a lot more work involved,than I thought. I wonder if this is out of date and the process is quicker and more streamlined.
This was aired 3 weeks ago, I doubt it
Dakota LaBarr this video is 7 years old. Maybe even older. It’s just a repost. What I want to know, is why isn’t there any really recent informative video on how magnets are created? Is it because they can be used as weapons or something?
Nice to see a whole factory use a normal Fan to cool the molds down. Glad to see them saving money.
Thank you very informative video.
This was my life question, how they r made, finally I found the answer after 40 years, thanks a lot for delivering this wonderful answer for myself question. Keep it up. Regards Prudvi Raj
Something got me attracted to this video.
Why?
*NO*
*NOOOOOO*
i watch ur show on tv everyday but this is way better u guys rock
Love these short vids.
They're great!
2:58 guy is handling dry silica sand without a respirator... totally safe.
someone needs to share this with ICP
wow! didn't expect the process!
Wow, what a laborious process!
the urge for learning attracted me here
I love how much they have taught me
Wow thanks for upload
Thank for a such a good content
*magneto has joined the chat*
*neo join the chat too*
Toph has join the chat
Magic explained in detail
Just imagine the hard work!
This video was very helpful
And still they are cheap
Guy who is filling silica sand must wear dust mask to prevent silica dust enter inside respiratory system, please deliver this message to them
He's gonna get cancer.
I always worried working around concrete bags
Tony Hirst will always be my voice for How It's Made.
I did not know that. Thanks!
I seriously thought they'd get the magnetic ability immediately after getting molded together and all the metallic objects nearby would stick to it hence they were made in an anti magnetic chamber or something. But it looks like they need a kick to get started..it's good in a way tho
"I still don't get it" - _Shaggy 2 Dope_
Amazing
That was fascinating.
I literally watched this thinking I could make one in my house
You can magnetize objects at home with batteries and wire.
@@Shellshock361 you got a link?
@ジャック- jack bro either I didn’t pay attention or we ain’t from the same planet trust me if I was taught how to make a magnet I wouldn’t for get it I’d have destroyed so many batteries
This is stuff i watch when I'm suppose to be sleeping
First, I can't fathom how anyone put this process together. Second, that dude should be wearing some kind of respirator if he is filling that silica sand all day. His lungs are in serious trouble.
“This video has a big magnetic field!!”
I like to watch this over and over
Wow, such a complex process!
Now that we know how they're made, we just need to find out how they work.
Exactly, they put the dummy magnet on the electric thing and it zaps it. Now it’s a magnet…. Huh??
@@thenextarbiter The current is just aligning the magnetic fields of each particle in the magnet
This is a very old way to do it. Now there is a much easier way to make magnets. Plus there are now neodymium magnets which are much more stronger than these.
thank for information
Great video.
Imagine having a job where you smash stuff... Oh wait, that exist already
Who's here after Hugbees video?
That icon doe
Good pictures and explanation💯
Very, very, Very! Helpful for an essay I'm writing. Thanks!👩🔬💜
Now tell me if your job is difficult, I'll wait.
That’s a dangerous factory to work in...
yahh, its dangerous but also heavy now i have muscle, lol... dangerous but happy in the environment
Great information great video
narration is awesome. 👏👏👏🤗🤗🤗
0:32 seigh hail
No
Yo this is the most ghetto product production I've ever seen on this channel
Anything that involves melting metal and glass in a furnace are kinda like that..
Its even shaped like a swasticka
Nigga?
Apparently so many people in this comment section have had careers on making magnets and various other metals.
@Colorado Strong what
Does anyone notice the sparks at 4:06 ?
