Maximum Operating Temperature VS. Curie Temperature
Introduction Magnets are materials that generate a magnetic field and have the ability to attract or repel other magnets or ferromagnetic materials. They are commonly used in a wide range of applications, such as in electric motors, generators, speakers, and magnetic sensors. However, magnets can lose their magnetic properties at high temperatures, which is an

What Are Floating Wind Turbines?
A floating wind turbine is an offshore wind turbine that is mounted on a floating structure and can generate electricity in water depths where fixed-foundation turbines are not feasible. Compared to traditional fixed-bottom wind turbines, floating offshore turbines have greater access to deeper water. Onshore and offshore wind turbines use essentially the same technology to

Magnet Fishing – What is it?
Magnet fishing sounds a little strange and interesting at the same time. Could be that you can go to a lake and fish out magnets or use magnets to catch fish? Magnet fishing has been in use for decades, and it is just as simple as it sounds – using magnets to fish. So what

Does Gold Magnetize?
Wondering if gold has magnetic properties like other metals, such as Iron, Cobalt, and Nickel? While gold is in every way a metal, pure gold is not magnetic. In fact, Iron, Cobalt, and Nickel are the only metals that have magnetic properties. However, gold can become temporarily magnetic (just like annealed iron and steel) when

Enjoy the Multiple Benefits Brought by Wind Turbines
You should have the confidence that with only the wind and a small-scale wind turbine you can power the whole house you live in. Wind turbines capture the power of the wind and convert it to electricity. Placed in an exposed site, a typical wind turbine system could easily generate more power than your lights

Neodymium Magnet–Rare-earth Ingredient, But Non-rare Applications
An Introduction to Neodymium Magnets Neodymium magnets are made from a powerful rare-earth metal known as neodymium. They are the most commonly used rare-earth magnets in the world. Although their name might have you believe otherwise, neodymium magnets are not made from neodymium alone. They are made from an alloy of neodymium, iron, and boron.

Use of Permanent Magnets in Levitation Devices
Introduction to Magnetic Levitation Devices Magnetic levitation is a technology used in suspending an object in the air using magnetic fields. It involves using magnetic force to overcome gravitational force. It is also referred to as maglev technology. Magnetic levitation is a frictionless method of lifting objects. It is also more efficient as less energy

Use of NdFeB Magnets in Mobile Phones
Introduction to NdFeB Magnets NdFeB magnets, otherwise known as neodymium magnets, are the most commonly used rare-earth magnets in the world. This is mostly because they are the strongest permanent magnets on the market. They are ten times as strong as the second-strongest permanent magnet. Neodymium magnets were first produced in 1984. These permanent magnets

Magnets Used for Making Jewelry Clasps
What are Jewelry Clasps? Jewelry clasps are an essential part of jewelry that is often overlooked. Not all pieces of jewelry require clasps. However, a good number do. Some types of jewelry that require clasps include necklaces, bracelets, and ankles. These clasps allow you to wear or take off jewelry easily and without damaging it.
