DIY Magnetic Road Trip Hacks There's nothing quite like rolling the windows down, turning the music up, and hitting the open road. Spring is the perfect time of year for that road trip you’ve been dreaming of for ages. So, why not “carpe that diem” and start planning your adventure? It’s always important to travel [...]
Magnets are Everywhere What Happened ? It all began rather quietly in 1984. Scientists working independently at General Motors and Sumitomo Special Metals discovered that when they combined the rare earth mineral neodymium together with iron and boron, they could create the world’s strongest permanent magnets: up to 10 times stronger than all other ceramic [...]
Magnetically Levitating Elevators For more than a century, elevators have gone pretty much just up and down. Ever since the first elevator was introduced in 1854, a cable-based design has pulled the elevator car along a single shaft, using steel ropes connected to a counterweight. But now, ThyssenKrupp, a German conglomerate that specializes in automotive [...]
Permanent Magnets for Electric & Hybrid Vehicle Motors It's hardly surprising that electric and hybrid car' motors differ significantly from typical internal-combustion engines. The rare-earth magnets that help power electric and hybrid vehicles can be rather complex to fabricate, despite having fewer moving parts. We specialize in permanent magnets and their numerous applications here at [...]

Guide OF Flexible Magnets The term “flexible magnet” can be confusing. When most people think of magnets, they envision solid bars or pieces of metal. After all, magnets are defined by their ferromagnetic composition. They are comprised of a ferromagnetic metal — iron, cobalt, nickel, neodymium, etc. — that produces an invisible magnetic field. Nonetheless, [...]
Flexible Magnetic Sheeting Rolls with Adhesive, Plain or with Matte-White Laminate Flexible magnetic sheeting rolls are available with a self-adhesive backing, in plain brown or with a matte white vinyl laminate and sold in 50, 100 & 200 ft. rolls. Flexible magnetic material is extremely versatile and used for all types of consumer, commercial and [...]

AC Tachometer Generator Speed and rotational speed measurement of flight, sailing, locomotive and lathe. Induction Generator Single-phase intermediate frequency power supply. Ignition Magneto Ignition system of locomotive, train and aircraft. Synchronous Motor Blowing [...]
New Type EV Motor, Use No Magnet MAHLE's new, inexpensive and efficient EV motor does not use magnets. Magnets usually made of rare earth metals such as neodymium are found in the heart of most electric vehicles. Having a permanent strong rare earth magnetic field in the rotor is a good choice, because using a [...]
Where can I Find Neodymium Magnets Find neodymium magnets at the store If you need a single product or a small batch of neodymium magnets, you don't know how to get these things？ When you need a single magnet and don't want to spend a lot of money to buy the amount of products you [...]
