Excellent, informative video. I started buying neodymium magnets over 20 years ago. I think most of them I've given away as gifts , which have been universally appreciated. A few though, like my 1" cubes and my 2x4x.5 (1100 pound pull force) I've used for research in technology development.
Retired EE. I had a magnet set as a kid with Iron filings on paper to see the flux fields. Fascinating how they are made. We have learned how to create and use electricity from flux fields to run the whole country. M Faraday is my hero. Trained as a book binder he went to work in Humphrey Davey's lab as a helper. 5 years later he noticed a needle deflection when he move a wire at right angle to a magnet.
The Magnetizer is actually reading 1230 Volts and 12800 Amps since the scale is KA or Kilo-amps. You typically need a large number of Ampere-Turns to create a magnet and these readings make sense.
What he's saying is quite informative. It informed me that his magnets are exactly the same as everyone else's magnets since they all come from this factory.
To put it into simple terms, the military said "dude, stop making tanks. We have too many and no use for the thousands upon thousands we have stockpiled"
+SuperMagnetMan One step is missing in your description: During the pressing (probably in the blue machine), a strong magnetic field is applied in order to rotate the powder particles so that their main crystal axes are aligned. That's required to achieve anisotropy, which means that every piece of powder in the finished magnet will contribute to the magnetic field. Without the alignment, the crystal axes would be more or less randomly distributed, and only those particles which are roughly in the direction of the magnetization field would be magnetized, resulting in a significantly weaker magnet. -- This magnetic field during the pressing is not the same as magnetization, because due to the sintering heat all magnetization is lost, however the correct crystal alignment is preserved (sintering is not melting). For the final magnetization, the alignment axis has to be known (which is shown in your video with the chalk markings).
Multi poke magnets? In so new to all of this but the thirst for knowledge far exceeds my lack of said knowledge. Wad awesome to see how these magnets get made thanks for the video. Just another piece of the knowledge puzzle Thank You
Wow, it never ceases to amaze me how many haters have found their way to this video. I mean guys if this guy's heavy southern (probably rural Texas if you ask me) accent is the only thing you can remember from the video/found notable, then you have some serious issues. All in all, you shouldn't watch then any other scientific videos either.
WOW I FEEL LIKE SUCH A DICK! before reading any comments I just said, "dude I love your videos, but you kind of sound like zach Galifianakis from the movie, the campaign " There wasn't any malicious intent. Just struck me funny is all😊 Dearly noted though. (Although I think that he should use it to his benefit..there's no such thing as bad publicity!)
I would love to do it but the competition is so stiff in China that I don't think any of the factories would let us in to video how it is done. If they did it would be so high level it would not be useful. I would LOVE to redo this video especially with what I learned doing this one - I could make a much better video the next time around.
0:37 Hong village is such a beautiful place and the people are really nice; I stayed there a couple years ago. Must visit if you're traveling to the yellow mountains :).
@@SuperMagnetMan OMG yea, the art is stunning. Did you try the fuzzy tofu (毛豆腐)? I was 12 years old and I tried the spicy version and i was panting for half an hour
my dad worked at this place called Dings magnetic my whole life, one day he took me there when i was 8ish years old. he didnt warn me of the machine that slams the rare earth powder into shape, damn.
@SuperMagnetMan I would imagine warm water could hose very, very tiny air bubbles of partially evaporated water (oxygen+hydrogen), so then oxygen would react with the hot metal and burn. Guess if it's cold enough, there are no/less air bubbles.
are you sure they don't bake them at different temperatures to form nano minerals, you can do this to pyrite by converting the iron within it to magnetite
Vimana were the Indian flying saucers, and the Vaillix were Atlantean craft. These were interstellar craft. A civilization(s) capable of building 500 ft. high pyramids has obviously gone beyond hot-air balloons. Mercury vortex engine tech. was never lost. It's just that mercury is highly toxic. Osiris, whom the Russians proved was an alien, did not come to earth in a hot-air balloon. But hot-air balloons could travel superluminal with inexpensive modifications.
Aw man, I really wanted to see how they perfectly coat each magnet without any uncoated spot from a hook, sheet or whatever is used to put them in and out of the epoxy/plating :[
The army doesn’t tell the gov to stop making weapons. The army only sends the bills to be acquitted. Let me put it in a metaphor: Do you really believe that an ill minded kid that owns his own toy factory will shout to his parents to ”make it stop” ?

10:30 Why does she switch the orientation of the arc magnets? Is the 'magnetizer' a copper block with bumps at the top and black paint/resin painted over everything but the bumps and bottom? Why she only use the middle 2 bumps, why not use the outer 2 bumps too? The hole on the magnetizing coil used for the small disk shaped magnets seems to be offset from the center, is there a reason for that? What is the geometric shape of the magnetizing coils? Every video I've come across online that explains how magnets are made always rush past the most interesting part, the actual magnetization of the magnets. This video provides more clues as to how the magnets are actually magnetized than any other I can find online, but it still rushes past the most interesting part imo. Maybe the woman pressing the foot pedal is wearing high heels to distract you from asking questions about the shape of 'magnetizer', hahaha just kidding. I'm only joking but you have to admit it is somewhat odd that a woman working at a factory would wear high heels right? I greatly appreciate any answers to my above questions that you can provide. Thanks for the very helpful vids!
OK - in the magnetization process it happens in an instant. The large cabinet behind her would contain a capacitor bank which stores the electricity and then in a burst it dumps the electricity into the coil and as it establishes a magnetic field it reaches the necessary strength to know that it has aligned all the magnetic domains in the material. It does this very fast because the coil would get very hot very fast if it lasted for even 1 second. The operator would have to wait until it cools down before using it again. Also, it magnetizes instantly and it would not be more magnetized to leave it on longer. Each of the coils in the video would be for different magnet geometries and she only used what she needed for the magnets she was working with.:)
We wonder why things form stable bonds and behave predictably. It's called chemistry, but most substances in 'chemistry' class exist as crystals. Mercury is a weird cat though. Has anyone held a crystal of solid mercury outside an absolute zero vacuum? But when mercury is boiled the bubbles burst at the same frequency as gravity which creates a 'mercury vortex', which powered flying saucers in ancient times. Antigravity a chemical? Dunno.
There ain't room for so much as an Egg, looking at the magnet sizes. Chickens are non magnetic, I believe. The field strength is comparable with a NMR medical scanner, I would guess.
What is the limiting factor(s) in the magnetizing of a particular magnet. ie the power of the magnetic filed used to charge them, the mass of the ferrous metal, other factors? Thanks
Why is it China is allowed to ship all over the world but we can't? Also, how can China ship anywhere for less than I can ship to my neighbor? I wonder where the money is coming from to compensate for the actual costs to cheat the system?
+billie19842007 it's because of the stupid corrupt governement - by doing so they are killing our industry and finally it leads to the loosing of the industry lead of US and EU in direction of China and India.
China's industry and economy is based on the concept of "centralized economy". Moreover, the success of this model is because of the "mass production" of items. This is how prices for one unit are so low, this is their power, their success, their blessing and their curse.
@ORCA4312 Yes, it puzzled me too, so i asked and they say that neo will not oxidize in cold water but it will oxidize in warm water. There were lots of places where the bare metal magnets were submerged in pans of water.
there is not enough time to play with magnets these days...i must know everything about them,and anything related to them...i dont grasp what counterspace is yet..why its there and why north cant get through to south,and why if i cut my magnet in half do i have 2 magnets now...how does the magnet know...cant it be tricked?? lol we have had them for centuries and seems we have nit learned too much in all of that time...the way an ac generator manifests electricity is the most usefull amazing thing ever discovered...cool channel,i subbed thanks!!!
Iron mining is more intense in India and sold as ore (not as whore) to make good steel globally. China is better since they use their resources more effectively. The fact of the matter is "power & water will rule the world" since they are necessary ingredients for growth. The periodic table had been there & kept latent secrets those the developed world took them lackadaisically. I am delighted when I found patents by a Nigerian Prince on FREE ENERGY

You should watch his series on "How DocuMentaries are made". First you boil a sound tech in oil, then you fry his brains slowly by forcing him to listen to cowboys chewing volume knob poltergeists. Then add youtube. VoILAAaaarrr....
What happened to the finish coating, such as nickel, other metals or colored rubber? Maybe that's a post-production process not handled at that facility.
Yes its 12 kA, as you can see at 11:08. Its an instantanous power of 2430V x 12.400 Amps = 5.8 MW when discharging the caps! Which creates an enourmous magnetic field. No work for people with heart beats pacemakers ;-)

I wonder what kind of diode is in the circuit to stop the current from reversing, or if they put a ballast resistor so that the circuit doesn't ring ?
Makes 1000 times more sense :)

Why do magnets need to be pressed powder? That's makes them extremely brittle. Why not a chunk of metal.
