Free Neodymium Magnets - How To Find Strong Magnets Free

Показать описание

Free neodymium magnets! Yes, FREE! In true spirit of my "What's Inside" videos I am once again showing ways that I salvage, collect or recover awesome parts from stuff that others might throw away! In this video you will see over 20 types of items that contain neodymium (aka rare earth) magnets. Magnets shown range in size from smaller than an eraser head to larger than a US quarter. Some of these magnets are strong enough to cause some serious damage if you are not careful too!

Prior magnet related projects include:

WARNING: magnets represent serious choking hazards. Swallowing magnets can pose significant health risks. These magnets should be kept away from sensitive equipment including but not limited to pacemakers, cell phones, computer storage devices, credit cards, etc.

I have watched both of your videos about free Neodymium magnets. But I don't recall any mention about old HARD DRIVES. about 10 days ago my boss asked me to destroy some old hard drives at work. While taking them apart and destroying the discs, I discovered a couple of good-sized Neodymium magnets in each one. What an amazing find! I made some nice, STRONG refrigerator magnets with about 14 of them, and gave some away to friends.

Oh boy! I'm on the hunt now! I usually steal the magnets out of my shower curtains when replacing them :)

My favorites are speakers and electric toothbrushes... they're usually ceramic and not neodymium but tend to be very strong! Thanks for the good ideas!

Just to let you know, just last week I found a small rock that is nicely magnetized! It isn't a meteorite as far as I can see. It's "just" a piece of gravel, about a 2 cm cube, grey, nondescript really.
I have a telescopic wand with a couple of small neodymium magnets at the tip that I play with on beaches. This rock though was in my yard!
I have a large (about 25 cm by 20 cm by 12) grey black rock with magnetic swirls that I found on the beach here in Victoria British Columbia.
Again it's not the prettiest thing but it hides this terrific secret!
I should do a Tic tock short with these!
Cheers!

Thank you. Nice video. Do you know which items have the cylender tube 1/2 inch long magnets?

Great video, I do the same, take everything apart to get the magnets out.
One question please, how do you know when these are neodymium magnets?
Is it the strength that gives it away?
Thank you!

Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know how many magnets that you can get! LOL

:D cool collection . I guess im "attracted" to DIY no pun intended... I have also reclaimed these from these sources too, and are quite useful. Platter hard drives are also good source for large ones. I "attached" mine on the thumbs up :D All the best from CR.

Awesome!!! New subscriber here. I’ve been reclaiming neodymium magnets for about two years and I thought I was a weirdo with my collection of about 300 but I’ve found my people!!! My favorite place to find them is old DVD an CD players. They’re small 1/2”x1/2” or 1/4”x1/2” square magnets but man, they are strong! I know you know this but maybe some of the viewers were unaware and I had no idea that a computer mouse had any but now it seems kinda obvious they would. Is there a way to remove battery from speaker without breaking the magnet? I’ve not figured out a way yet and also someone told me old microwave ovens have some beast mode magnets but you have to be super careful about something radioactive inside, which is why I don’t have any yet, I’m not trying to nuke myself, haha! Thanks for the videos, keep it up, for your people. 👍🏼. Update: Right after commenting I found a plethora of speaker magnet removal videos, it almost looks like more work than it’s worth unless it’s a very good magnet. I have a non-functioning JBL Bluetooth speaker and I can already tell the magnets are awesome so I’ll probably attempt it, lol.

I just had a magnet shatter. I would recommend wearing safety glasses. Because I felt that metal wiz past my eye
