Free Neodymium Magnets

[Etherichead]

Want to experiment with magnets? I do, but the cost of rare earth magnets is outragious, similar to C60 (buckminsterfullerenes), at $400 a gram, you might as well by an arc welder and fabricate a kiln in a vacumn, add inert welding gasses, burn some Carbon electrodes in it, and start making your own! LOL-----I found a scource of free Neodymium Magnets. They are on the control armeture in Hard Drives. Old hard drives have Cobalt magnets, but for the last 5+ years, they have been using rare earth magnets, so don't throw away your hard drives, scavenge as many as you find, everyone contains one or more beautiful little Neodymium Magnets that retail for about $35 a piece. Just use a drill to pop the trademark screws, and your in. Keep up the good work to all who experiment, remember; discovery requires more than knowledge, it requires ambition, and no one can ever take away the free energy that we all have, the power of thought! Best Regards, Etherichead

Sorry to all who know this as common knowledge, I'm just a carpenter who loves electronics and physics, no formal training, but I admire Tesla, Peter Lindemann, all you out their who know free energy exist, thanks for all your wonderfull post, I only understand a fraction of them, but I'm learning, and all who post wonderfull ideas on this site are my teachers

good tip, I have about 20 hard drives on my bench right now, waiting to be opened and gutted. most of the magnets I use anymore have come out of hard drives

@Etherichead
No need to appologize. There are others on this forum that are capenters and are leading the pack when it comes to building and understanding this new technology. You are a leader in your own way regardless of how you put food on your table. Jesus was a carpenter! I'm a computer engineer and just learned about those magnets a few months ago. Doh! Never hesitate to contribute. We all become stronger as a result. Thanks for your post.

Awsome!! thanks for the encouragement, I love this site because I don't know anyone who I can share my ideas with that actually care, but everyone on this site is very passionate about what they post, and what they do, I feel very privaleged to read the post on this site, and I am very carefull/conservative to not post unworthy stuff. Thanks again!

Good price all under 5 bucks

Hard drive magnets can be hard to work with, if there polarized with a North & South on the same side, so hope this helps not free but Cheap

N42 7/8" x 7/8" x 1/16" thick 51.59 lbs $2.03 each

N42 1 1/2" x 1/2" x 1/8" thick 55.10 lbs $3.22

N52 1 1/2" x 1/2" x 1/8" thick 68.22 lbs $4.10

just a few good prices

Thanks Tecknomancer, good prices, I have been breaking magnets in half to deal with the polarity problem. Now if we can only figure out how to turn permanent magnets off, we would really have a working magnet motor. After failing with several prototypes, that seems to be the ticket. Something has to give, there is way to much stored energy in magnets to not be able to capitalize on the energy.

don't think that will work

if a magnet is polarized through it's length and you break in in half the Bloch wall moves and you just make smaller versions of that magnet, breaking it doesn't work sorry I would go back and test the ones you broke

Ahh! good advise, That could be one of my many problems! LOL
