Neodymium magnets, created by SWRI. We used them in refineries & oil fields to generate guided wave signals. Thought they were lost when a Chevron trailer was stolen off I410 many years ago. Each one you see is a mated pair, & we fear them. They are nasty powerful, and wicked around anything ferrous. Stop watches, wipe out hard drives, & ruin monitors. I had to mate a pair that I found separated, & it brought back memories of how dangerous these things can be. "What are you going to do with them?" Someone asked. I dunno, but you could ring a threshold & laugh when the FBI gets their weapons torn out of their hands.

I have 14 of them that are 1x2x1/2 that and can dead lift 169 lbs. each. Had to make a special wooden device to separate them. Bought them out of Dallas and intend to use them for a magnet motor that I may eventually get around to! rexbowan, TheLastColdBeer and bds1961 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They went in the travel case specifically built for them, to keep them separated. I wouldn't carry them in a vehicle otherwise, might screw up the operating computer. A new technique was developed, and we attached pure nickel strips to piping, then used an alnico mag to introduce a field. Wrapped our coils around that array & we had a useful signal. Much more portable, much safer, and we pushed the beasts off to a corner. bds1961, rexbowan and TedsofBeverlyHills 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
