    Get rid of "resolution-sapping magnetic interference"

    Do you think this guy has an implant or something? He'll need to be scanned before performing the test I think.

    Magnetic Therapy for Wine

    Hello forum, This morning (6/7/2006) in the Los Angeles Times they ran a lengthy article in the food section about a magnetic gadget that claims to transform your cheap, crappy wine into into a "rich and silky wine". The gadget, known as the BevWizard, is described as a powerful magnet that...

    Persinger's Magnetic field hypothesis

    Micheal Persinger is well known for his theory suggesting that some apparitional experiences may be due to the brains of certain observers being exposed to complex low-frequency magnetic fields. Complexity more than field-strength seems crucial. He applies these fields to brains in his lab and...

    The Earth's Magnetic Field.

    Is it possible to create an artificial magnetic field as strong as the natural one produced by the Earth's core to replace the one we have now if ours is lost at the Earth's North and South Magnetic poles?

    Magnetic bearings

    Magnetic fuel treatment - again...

    I know there has been a couple of threads on this subject earlier, but I found it best to start a new topic. Today a salesman from a company called AutoMEC sent me some documentation to supposedly prove that their magnetic fuel treatment device really works. He wasn't sending me this to get a...

    Gasoline moving in a magnetic field

    On Cartalk this morning, a caller asked whether the magnets he is using to hold his gas cap door shut could cause gas fumes to ignite while he's pumping gas. Tom and Ray assured him that they would not, because permanent magnets have no electricity associated with them. Which raises two...

    Magnetic CPU

    Hello: While playing with an old 486 CPU, I discovered that it is strongly attracted to a magnet. Anybody got an idea why a chunk of silicon would behave this way? The heat sink was removed.

    Magnetic Ball Bearing "Mystery"

    I was wondering why no one has been discussing the experiments with magnetic ball bearings and copper tubing Randi has mentioned in the commentaries. I think I know why the ball's motion is periodically retarded when moving south down an incline, but not when moving north. Remember, the steel...

    Genuinely useful magnetic gadget

    Magnets take quite a kicking in these parts. So to balance the record- About three years back, I was in a "one pound shop". (Don't know if the U.S. has an equivalent. Every item costs one pound. It's mostly over produced junk, but there are occasional gems). I found a magnet -about the size of...

    Magnetic therapy for spine injury

    Looks like there is some evidence electro magnets can help with spinal cord injuries. I have a horrible feeling the woo woos will somehow see this as a victory, even though it's something very specific. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/3701365.stm At least they admit it's only a small group.

    Reversal of the Earth's Magnetic Field

    For a couple of years I've mentioned to people that we're way overdue for a reversal of the earth's magnetic field. The sun does it every 11 years. Earth's pattern is every couple of hundred thousand years. The last one, however was 780,000 years ago, so we're seriously overdue. Our magnetic...
