Where Can You Find Magnets? Exploring Everyday Uses and Applications of Neodymium and Rare Earth Magnets
Where Can You Find Magnets? Fun With Strong Magnets!
Table of Contents
What are Magnets?
- A magnet is a special rock or metal.
- It can pull some metals to it.
- This pull is called magnetism.
- We make the best NdFeB magnets.
What is a Neodymium Magnet?
- It is the strongest kind of magnet.
- It is made of special stuff. This stuff is called neodymium, iron, and boron.
- We call them NdFeB magnets for short. (Nd=Neodymium, Fe=Iron, B=Boron)
Where Do We Use Magnets?
Let’s find magnets everywhere!
A. In Your Toys!
Many toys have magnets.
- Building blocks can have magnets. They click together!
- Some dolls use magnets. Their clothes stick on!
- Toy trains can use magnets too. We can also provide you with specialized customized ndfeb magnets.
B. In Your Home!
Look around your house. You will find magnets!
- Fridge magnets: They hold pictures on your fridge!
- Cabinet doors: Magnets keep them closed!
- Showers: Some shower doors use magnetic sheet seals!
- We offer many magnet grades for home use!
C. In Your School!
Magnets help us learn! Your school uses magnets!
- Whiteboards: Magnets hold papers on the board!
- Science class: You can do fun things with Magnets in research and education projects.
D. In Grown-Up Stuff!
Magnets are in big things, too! We can also use magnets in industrial equipment
- Cars: Electric cars use lots of NdFeB magnets. These magnets make the car go! They help the motors work. One car can use many motor magnets. One kilogram of NdFeB magnet can make a car motor better, up to 90%!
Also, Automotive manufacturing uses magnets in automotive powertrain Systems.
- Hybrid Vehicles and Electric Vehicles depend very heavily on very good magnets.
Computers: Magnets store information inside. They are in data storage hard drives.
- Speakers: If you enjoy audio equipment, you will be happy to know it uses magnets.
Phones: mobile devices utilize electroacoustic devices and speaker magnets that are also permanent magnets, like NdFeB ones.
Wind Turbines: These big fans make power. They use big magnets. Wind power generation uses a lot of neodymium magnets in wind turbines. A magnet for wind turbine can weigh 600 kg! These are Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generators.
Very Important Magnets: NdFeB
NdFeB magnets are the best. They are super strong.
- Stronger: They pull harder than other magnets.
- Smaller: We can make them small but strong. This is good for phones and computers.
How are Neodymium Magnets Made?
- Mix: We mix neodymium, iron, and boron.
- Heat: We make it very hot!
- Press: We push it into a shape.
- Cool: We let it get cold.
- Coat: We give it a special cover. The magnet coating can be nickel or other materials.
- Zap: We make it a magnet with a big electric pulse!
Magnets in Hospitals
Doctors use magnets to help people!
- MRI Machines: These big machines take pictures inside your body. They use very big, very strong magnets. Over 90% of MRI machines use neodymium magnets. We can help provide magnets for medical uses!
Magnets in Airplanes and Space!
- Airplanes: Magnets help things in the airplane work. They can make planes use less fuel by up to 15%!
- Spaceships: Magnets help spaceships fly and work right. Aerospace Engines Electric Propulsion Systems all use magnets.
Recycling Magnets!
We should recycle old magnets.
- It helps the Earth.
- We can use the old magnets to make new things.
