8 BEST Ways to Get Strong Magnets at Home for FREE - and where NOT to

[@davidledoux1736]

This is brilliant! Thank you for posting this. I tend to collect broken devices for their electronic components but will always keep an eye out to harvesting magnets as well. Now to watch your project videos for practical use cases.

[@Yonatan24]

Glad you liked it 👍🏻

[@waltp3373]

I have pulled magnets out of old hard drives. They are very strong. I sometimes use them to find tiny screws that I have dropped on the floor. You can use some of the smaller ones inside sockets to hold nuts that you can't reach by hand. I forgot about the other places to get magnets like speakers, etc. Thanks for the video.

[@Yonatan24]

Great idea with the sockets. You could glue a magnet to the tip of an adapter since the socket it's hollow.

[@Tahoza]

This was really well done considering your budget. I'm so sad that marketing has replaced so much of the quality that made early youtube so good.

[@Yonatan24]

Thanks, I appreciate it!

Means break good speaker for magneta...

[@Yonatan24]

Don't!

[@TheTruthPlease100]

Thanks for the info. I was looking to see if there was an easier process to get neos out of speaker cups... The medium to big ones. After using acetone to dissolve the glue I end up having to use a hacksaw to cut the back off or another stronger magnet on the front and a flat head to pry and keep it on the magnet without getting sucked back in to the cup.

[@Yonatan24]

I usually use a screwdriver which breaks the magnet sometimes. They're usually glues with CA glue which is quite brittle so a few blows with a hammer might suffice. I've never tried acetone but that's a good idea.

Those 2 wheeled hoverboards have a ton Of extremely strong neodymium magnets inside of the wheel motors that are maybe .25"x.5

[@Yonatan24]

I have 2 of those motors. Is yours a brushed motor? Because the ones I have are brushless and I don't remember seeing magnets inside, only many coils.

[@foundationrepairbear]

Brushless they will be on the outer rim on inside of wheel hub

I too have a magnet collection, but rather than scavenging them from devices I use my uncle's old magnet finder device to hunt them from ground 😂, it's only around 1-2 kg

[@Yonatan24]

What's a magnet finder device and do you just find them randonly in the ground? Interesting.

[@beforedrrdpr]

@@Yonatan24 It's just like a normal metal detector but catches magnetic forces, my uncle had it when he was in the military, i don't it's quite common outside our country. And yes I basically just whoosh whoosh it on the ground and hope i get something. The beach is a good place to find em. 😂

[@Acid_bro]

I also have a magnet collection and I have 3 neodymium magnets but 3rd one has a lot of neodymium magnets

[@Vik1919]

​@@beforedrrdprDamn, you got a military-grade magnetic finder!

[@beforedrrdpr]

@@Vik1919 i guess yeah

[@LSD209]

Well this is a relief, I thought I was the only one who scavenges for magnets… Obviously there are many other sources but the one I’ll include with this comment is mostly for guys, because girls likely are already aware. Women’s purses and wallets typically have magnets.

[@Yonatan24]

You're not alone, I'ver been doing it for years! Good tip as well, thanks for the comment.

[@Vik1919]

These are like real life Easter eggs! I wonder what else is hidden in plain sight in our homes and all around us?

[@Elliewiw]

is there a way to remove the metal cover that protects the magnet from the speaker? im talking about the one at 0:24

[@Yonatan24]

A vise or screwdriver works best

[@Elliewiw]

@@Yonatan24 no im not talking about the speaker cover, im talking about the actual metal cover that surrounds the entire magnet

[@Yonatan24]

The metal cup it'd glued to? Leave in inside, in many cases it amplifies the magnetic field.

[@lefty5463]

​@@Yonatan24 I sell metal to the scrap yards. I don't metal from Aluminium . When i buy a used car i check with the magnet to see if the car has bondo filling in the body. There's many things you can do with these things. You can make light with two magnets. Use it when the power go's out. I found out some years ago about these magnets and what they can do. Do ever throw them away. Magnets are in everything, earphones, radio's, just about everything. There are ton's of video about them. I am still learning from other people also. Good luck with your projects.

[@AngelVictor-h3f]

Amazing

[@SPY46]

what is, and where can you find the strongest magnet. I want to try beach combing to see what we can pull out of the sand

[@Yonatan24]

Certainly hard drives. But I don't know what you'd be able to find beyond small pieces of metal and dust. I'm interested in what you'll find

[@SPY46]

@@Yonatan24 thats why I want to do it, what is actually in sand, how much metal could you find by dragging a magnet on a string a few feet on the beach, might find some jewelry but thats not my over all goal. Its just something I've wondered about.

What would you recommend for the occasional power magnet found on refrigerator magnets? I have a few I thrifted and want to use for my projects but I’m having trouble fighting the adhesive and in one case the metal wraps around the magnet so it’s flush.

I'm not sure. Honestly your best bet would be to buy equivalent magnets and keep the ones you have.

If you ever come across the server 10000 rpm hard drive, they are even better. Monster strong.

[@Yonatan24]

Are these larger? Do you have a picture of what you're referring to?

[@george.carlin]

@@Yonatan24 server drives are not larger. They are 2.5 and 3.5 inches as are our normal laptop and desktop drives. The difference is in RPM. 7200 RPM has smaller magnets than 10000 and I've seen 15000 RPM drives with very powerful (thick) magnets. As you said, laptop slow 5400 RPM drives have the thinnest magnets.

[@Yonatan24]

@@george.carlin That probably explains why I've salvaged a few magnets that are thicker and much stronger than almost all others. I'll keep an eye out for this information. Thanks!
