Working with Neodymium Magnets

Neither. The north and south poles of a magnet are equally strong.

Neodymium magnets attract iron, most steels, nickel, cobalt and other magnets. They don't attract aluminum, copper, brass, gold or silver.

Yes. Stacked magnets act like one thicker magnet, but each added magnet helps less once the stack is about as tall as it is wide.

You'll likely want to experiment with different magnets to get just the right one. Ultimately you will need to know the size, shape, and strength or pull force. Hopefully, the following tips will help reduce the often-inherent trial and error process. 1. Do Some Research For advice on DIY projects or other crafts (hanging signage/artwork, scrapbooking, jewelry, magnetic spice racks etc), you may find valuable advice online from other individuals who have already done some of the homework for you. 2. Estimate the Exact Size and Shape You Need Start with estimating the footprint or area your magnet will be placed into or...

Instead of trying to pull strong magnets apart, firmly slide and/or twist them away from each other and far enough apart so that they don’t jump back together.Neodymium magnets are exceptionally strong. If you’ve never handled them before, you will probably be surprised by how powerful these magnets can be.This is because neodymium magnets are the strongest type of permanent magnet in the world. In fact, they are far stronger than all other ceramic or alnico magnets of equal size – with a magnetic energy value as much as 18 times greater than these other magnets by volume and 12 times...
