magnets

I heard about these devices recently when they were mentioned in this article about a shark attack victim This appears to be the device: http://www.sharkbanz.com/technology/ They claim: (Magnets - is there anything they can't do?) I looked over their "research" page. Seems to be a some...

For those who have not noted my mentions on occasion and new peeps for science, I want to introduce you to a magnet company I occasionally use because it has an online blog/newsletter that shows off loads of neat things you can do with neodymium magnets every month. This is it...

Hi all I have this cool magnetic toy which I accidentally dropped a paper clip on the other day and discovered something cool: __ The set up: There are two red bar magnets attached horizontally, a collection of loose nuts making the person, and a paper clip. No glue, etc. The paper clip...

K and J magnetics, from whom I get my rather neat selection of Very Powerful Magnets in Quantity heard about the magnet scam for keeping your water heater clean of scale, found some papers and made a study on it. And even (love 'em for this) suggested a follow up next step for someone else to...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hHfkK4iGBQ&feature=channel I just want to know your thoughts on this video and its related subject. I'm not too sure if this is an example of a perpetual motion machine though.

Insane Clown Posse's Miracles song has lyrics that read, in part: All the so-called "miracles" are easily explained with science, in some cases rather basic science, whether it be genetics, evolution, or skepticism. MTV decided to explain the "miracles" they sang about: Full: MTV.com The...

A while back I was playing with a collection of small, ordinary magnets and marveling at how they attract and repel each other, and I began to wonder about something: With those magnets and some ordinary building materials, such as glue, wooden sticks, and so on, would it be possible to build...

I just saw the infomercial on the SciFi channel (why must you betray me SciFi!) talking about *gasp* A magnet you wear on the lobe of your ear that claims help you stop smoking. What really alarms me is they claim to be "listed in the FDA as a class one device" whatever that means...

Here hot from the press is the latest evidence for magnet therapy for pain. You guessed it - nothing! At least, nothing worth taking seriously. You will remember the spat over magnets being made available on the NHS for leg ulcers. There was no evidence for that either, and the Office of Fair...

For once, a report comes out that says that they found no evidence! I take it all back... negative papers can be published and make news after all! http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20070925/magnets_pain_070925/20070925?hub=Health One comment that I found slightly amusing...

I found some colleagues discussing the "Triangular Wave Technology" for getting rid of deposits inside water pipes. See the website http://www.triangularwave.com/ . In particular, have a look at http://www.triangularwave.com/a1b.htm . At the first glance this looks reasonable, they agitate...

This is just sad. But it shows us once again that woo knows no borders. Egyptian scientist explains why the world needs to switch from Greenwich to Mecca for the time standard, and how doing so will make things right with the world. And so on...

I've designed a free energy machine, and constructed some of the parts for the device in my workshop. The power source for the motor is a quadrupole magnet, which are worth over $10k per magnet. They are not sold to the general public and are only used in classified and restricted nuclear...

I found this article quite interesting: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/753627.stm It seems that all those people using magentic therapy for their arthritis, etc, could actually be placing themselves in danger of the magnets interfering with their pacemakers. A very bad side effect for a...

I asked for some advice on various things you could demonstrate using magnets, for a show on the topic. That was about three months back. Well, I've the past few months touring it. And for those who helped me, I'd like to thank you all for your advice. It was a huge success. There were only...

I have found not one, but two people that might win the MDC. I wasn't looking for these persons, and they didn't make any claim about having powers, or abilities. What happened was I found out from a third party about something woo going on. And I did some research, then some testing. And...

http://www.ruf.rice.edu/~lane/case_studies/magnets/index.html I've always known of the placebo affect with magnets & how its a bunch of poop. But this survey says otherwise, and its a website all about statistics. I'm not that good with numbers so perhaps you guys could have a look & tell me...

Does a magnet do 'work' when moving something?...I guess it does, but where does the energy come from?

Mentioned on another forum: http://www.fuelking.com/UK.html "Fuel-King® is a metal cylinder wich contains a combination of very strong magnets and flow breakers. This cylinder is mounted in the fuel-line, between the fuel filter and (as near as possible to) the fuel injection pump. When the...

Is the ring floating?

I have a mystery. On Wednesday morning, I took a bottle of milk from the fridge.It was frozen. Odd. On investigation, the compressor seemed to be running constantly. The temperature control knob had no effect. I assumed the thermostat had failed. Now, this machine is 20 years old and has served...

I've been lurking around these boards for a little while now, and been an avid reader of Randi's commentary for a few years. This is my first real post. I'm basically interested in if there has been any scientific study into the procedure that I am about to describe, or if it's just more...

Imagine, if you will, that you've got a donut. Not just a regular donut, but an unusually large one, lying on a table. Now imagine you've got another donut, smaller than the first, but not quite small enough to fit inside it. That is, the outer diameter of the small one is just a little bit...
