How amazing are little things like magnets, right? They can attract metal objects without directly getting in contact with it! There are all kinds of magnets, but one is unique and more powerful than the rest. You can use extreme magnets which are very high magnets. They are strong enough to lift things up that weighs difference than them, and if not handled properly, can be dangerous. Knowing how to properly handle them is key to staying safe.
The really strong magnets are hereby made from a special set of metal called the rare earth metals. These metals are relatively uncommon, hence the term rare. The metals are what makes the magnets extremely powerful. When a piece of metal comes very close, the extreme magnet can pull it towards itself so powerfully, it would look like magic! The reason for that is, the magnet has a very strong magnetic field around the magnet. It is an invisible field that can attract metals.
The strongest magnet anywhere in the world -- the NHMFL magnet -- is in Florida. This magnet is incredible! So powerful that it is able to raise a car without any physical contact. Imagine that! The NHMFL magnet is used for meaningful research by scientists. They would like to know how materials behave in the presence of super strong magnets. This is a research that gives them a lot of understanding about science and technology that can possibly improve our lives.
Super magnets, otherwise known as neodymium magnets, are among the most powerful magnets available for purchase. You will be surprised to know that several businesses rely upon the sphere of super magnets in different sectors that might come under medicine, engineering as well as electronics. Doctors, for instance, use them in medical devices, and engineers use them to build machines. You may find super magnets in other common items you frequently use, such as loudspeakers that produce audio, headphones you use to listen to music, and hard drives that retain data in your system. They are everywhere!
Let us now consider how strong these super magnets actually are. Take the example of trying to lift a car with your hands. It would be really difficult and I’m guessing impossible, right? With an extreme magnet, lifting a car off the ground is far simpler! Still, it’s crucial to remember that extreme magnets are not toys. If not used correctly, they can be extremely dangerous. When two extreme magnets are brought too close together, they can snap apart and send sharp metal shards flying in every direction, which could injure another person.
