Monster magnet meets servers...

I was given a rare opportunity which I simply couldn't resist. Testing my monster magnet on three different servers! Will the sturdy servers be much better at handling a powerful magnetic field than what I previously have tested? There were a few surprises :)

No problem. The gloves are to take the little pinches and splinters instead of my skin :) You're right that they will not be protective if my hand is caught between the magnet and something large with a lot of iron in it.

I want to see the crushing power of some of your magnets. How about "Making Orange Juice With Magnets"?

[@brainiac75]

Thanks for the suggestion. Others have made such a video, so it's not on top of my own to-do-list :) Another problem is, that the magnets are fragile and will likely shatter when letting them fly together for the crushing. The neodymium magnets are very expensive. I'm not rich enough and too glad for my magnets to just destroy them for the sake of a video :(

[@MuzikBike]

Well, how about making a special, strong enough stand to slowly ease the magnets into each other (and pull them apart again)?

[@superdau]

Then there's no point in doing it at all. If he has something that can exert the same push/pull as the magnet he might as well use that thing to crush stuff.

9:44 - I think the magnet has boosted the electrodynamic forces of the fan's brushless motor causing it to overspeed. Also, the additional induced electricity in the fan's PCB has caused it to burn it's components, hence the smell of burning electronics.

can u even remove the fluid after it comes in direct contact with the magnet?

[@josephcole8102]

Brainiac75 I was wondering if with direct contact, the metallic tips of the spikes could dent the magnet

[@brainiac75]

Mr. Wolfi I haven't tried it myself, but it should be possible to remove most of it with a syringe (preferably held horisontal so the magnet doesn't pull it out again). The residue on the magnet should come of with a cloth/paper tissue and a lot of patience... I don't want to try it :)

lol, thumbs up, this was every data center guy's nightmare and curiosity in one moment! I cringed when you were packing the magnet, but surprised the mechanical disks heads didn't react at first attempt. I really was surprised at the dell fans, but realized they may be using a hall-effect sensor for RPM detection which explains their unusual failure since the engineers probably didn't expect a hideous magnet in the design....

[@brainiac75]

Thanks! Curiosity definitely was a driving force behind this video :) The fans was the biggest surprise. Morten is still trying to figure out what happened with them. Hopefully we'll find out.

[@brainiac75]

Exactly +Redline. This video was made in a very different way than my usual videos. I'm usually in control of every little factor in the recordings. Not in this one. The mix of heavy Danish accent off camera and noisy servers forced me to think out-of-my-usual-box. I also aimed to make the video different from Morten's 30 min.

[@MyPlayHouse]

[@woswasdenni1914]

warning clickbait ^^

[@angelisreal]

Stainless steel is still attracted to magnetism.....

[@RealGengarTV]

James Armes "It is commonly stated that “stainless steel is non-magnetic”. This is not strictly true and the real situation is rather more complicated. The degree of magnetic response or magnetic permeability is derived from the microstructure of the steel. A totally non-magnetic material has a relative magnetic permeability of 1. Austenitic structures are totally non-magnetic and so a 100% austenitic stainless steel would have a permeability of 1. In practice this is not achieved. There is always a small amount of ferrite and/or martensite in the steel and so permeability values are always above 1. Typical values for standard austenitic stainless steels can be in the order of 1.05 - 1.1. See Composition effects on the magnetic permeability of austenitic stainless steels It is possible for the magnetic permeability of austenitic steels to be changed during processing. For example, cold work and welding are liable to increase the amount of martensite and ferrite respectively in the steel. A familiar example is in a stainless steel sink where the flat drainer has little magnetic response whereas the pressed bowl has a higher response due to the formation of martensite particularly in the corners. In practical terms, austenitic stainless steels are used for “non-magnetic” applications, for example magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In these cases, it is often necessary to agree a maximum magnetic permeability between customer and supplier. It can be as low as 1.004." Seems you'r right... though.. i fail to see why anyone would want to have magnetically permeable wire on their teeth

[@jkl1129]

also, why does that guy have so many servers?

[@jkl1129]

well the magnets all magnetize things at different strengths, and all have different fields. What's the point of having that many servers? I'm asking because I'm not that into computers, not to be a smartass.

[@Solusphere]

Probably because he's running a business that requires them, or simply collects them. My guess would be that he's running a high-traffic webserver of some kind, in which case you need all the server power you can get to keep response times reasonable.

[@brainiac75]

Morten works with servers as a profession, so he has access to scrapped servers like the shown at low cost. When a company scraps a server it isn't necessarily totally dead. They change their equipment before it fails :) Thanks for watching!

[@MyPlayHouse]

HI James I answer this question in my F.A.Q. under the about tab on my channel,, it is my most common question.

I thought the middle one would be the one to fail, because it's the oldest... didn't expect the left server's fans to react that way to the magnet ^_^ This was fun to watch, got a little scared as I thought the magnet was going to make the left server explode with you guys next to it!

[@MyPlayHouse]

HI Well Yes anything older then a DL380 G5 is kind of worthless. The G6 is pretty good,, That can use the XEON 55 and 56xx series. they are still fast to day. (the high end ones) I did not want to brake all my good servers, that is why these are older servers :-)

[@JoshuaNicoll]

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi Joshua Nicoll You shout look in to putting a virtual lair under your Ubuntu, Like I use VM-ware and have made many videos on that. Then you can run 10 different servers on top of that. and try out a lot of different stuff, with out messing with your "production" server :-)

can you melt a magnet and if so what happens if you get molten magnet near iron?

[@UndergroundPower]

It stops being magnetic after it becomes molten so this is not possible.

[@ivuldivul]

It stops being magnetic once you heat it up to Curie Temperature.

[@Bronzejakob]

TheBackyardScientist did a similar video where he drops molten iron on a magnet.

[@GodAboveAll777]

You guys look like great friends!

[@EternalDB1]

[@brainiac75]

Great Video. Keep up the great work. Nick.

This will be used as a new form of business espionage. You sneak into a server room and just obliterate all the servers by walking past with one of these in your bag.

[@SirWuffleton]

laughing because i once had a dl380 g3 and immediately recognized the body type from the thumbnail even though its 1 gen newer! amazed 4/6 of those old U320 scsi drives held up that well to the magnet! really shows how consumer geared sata stuff (even though still sometimes found in enterprise) is a less robust command set overall and less tolerant to interference like this. I think it’s wild where the magnetic field like caused the dell’s fans to short among all the hdd stress! sas is the modern evolution of scsi so would be interesting to see how spinning 10k sas drives would tolerate this in a newer server.

[@mexicanpapi9648]

Thanks for this informative video!

[@brainiac75]

Thanks for watching :D
