Today, that number is now likely to have reached hundreds as there are many electronics with neodymium magnets. Magnets are normally manufactured in different shapes and sizes to meet the demands of different areas.
The most used types of magnets that are used are cylinder magnets, round magnets and arc-shaped magnets. You will find magnets in audio speakers, medical equipment, electronics, computers, computer speakers and our homes. Not many are aware that the types of stuff you use at home to have been designed with a magnet.
So where to find neodymium magnets in household items? In the kitchen, you find a couple of items that you use daily, which probably may not know even, exist. Here are the items below: Microwave Magnets — The microwave that you use to heat food and drinks uses magnetrons consisting of magnets to generate electronic waves. Knife Rack — Knife racks make it easier to organize kitchen utensils and many are made of magnets.
Spice Rack — This one contains a magnetic rack with neodymium magnets, and it helps when clearing counter space. Also, the spice rack is easy to use. Refrigerator Doors — Refrigerators and freezers are designed with a seal of magnetic mechanism to make it easy to open from the inside.
Hanging Art — In most bedrooms today, you will find hook magnets on the wall, and they are used to hang posters and wall art. Also, you can use them to organize closets by hanging jewelry, belts, scarves and more. Duvet Covers — For duvets that are needed to remain closed use magnets to allow them to stay in constant design. Jewelry and Handbags — Magnetic clasps are used to design jewelry. On the other hand, handbags often incorporate neodymium magnets into the clasps. The office is another place you will find neodymium magnets used and the funny thing is not many realize the creation process of the items they use.
In fact, those who are in the know about the magnets in an office setup is a small per cent, especially technicians. For others, they know about magnets in ordinary things like speakers.
But for the office, here is a couple of items designed with a magnet in them. Computers — Computers require a lot of magnetism for them to function. Probably that makes you wonder their use, but they are very useful to prevent them from popping open unintentionally. Organizing Office Supplies — Neodymium magnet is vital to the organization.
Magnetic clasps are also used to make jewelry. Microwave Magnets - Microwaves use magnetrons consisting of magnets to generate electromagnetic waves , which heat the food. Spice Rack - A magnetic spice rack with neodymium magnets is easy to make and useful for clearing valuable counter space.
Knife Rack - A magnetic knife rack is easy to make and great for organizing kitchen utensils. Computers - Magnetism is a major component of computers. Organizing Office Supplies - Neodymium magnets are useful for organization. Extendable Tables - Extendable tables with additional pieces can use magnets to hold the table in place. Tablecloths - When having an outdoor party, use magnets to hold the tablecloth in place.
The magnets will keep it from blowing away in the wind along with everything sitting on the table. That's at least four magnets right there in one DVD player! What else in the home moves with electric motors? The ice dispenser in a fridge. The garbage disposal. A trash compactor. The spinning tray in a microwave in addition to the big magnet used in making the microwaves. Electric fans, the blower in a hair dryer, fans and blowers in a refrigerator.
A garage door opener. The pump in an aquarium. The rotating parts of washers and dryers. Blenders and mixers. The list goes on and on, and most of these motors have permanent magnets in them. Note: Not every electric motor has a permanent magnet in it. Some kinds of motors, like the electric induction motor , uses two coils of wire instead of a coil and a permanent magnet. The motor in my ShopVac is an induction motor, and does not use permanent magnets. In a car, all sorts of things are controlled by motors: power windows, various pumps, windshield wipers and more.
Still, the hard drive has magnets for the motor to spin the disc and another magnet to control the position of the read heads. Laptop computers and flip phones use a magnet to sense when it is open or closed.
In the garage, a pick-up tool that is sometimes handy for picking up dropped screws and bolts. What have we missed? If you can think of any more magnets commonly found at home, email us and we'll add it here! I know we mentioned hard drives already, but stop for a moment and imagine a world without hard drives. There would not be an Internet as we know it. There would be no cloud, no Google Mail, no huge sea of information for a smartphone to access.
The information explosion of PCs, smartphones and online storage of information is all ultimately built on little magnetic bits stored on hard drives.
