Magnets for a helping hand, health, producing energy, and a greener earth.

I needed magnets for something one day so I got to looking on the internet and WOW! I found a great site for magnets and related products. I found the right size and type I needed plus about 10- Bazzillion more and some great ideas , fun stuff and Green Earth products which are still hard to find. There is also very useful information and descriptions about magnets and their uses on this site! OK the site is listed below, it is "Applied Magnets" and you can click on the banners below to get there.
I liked the site so much I decided to be an affiliate which is a lot of work and I don't do it very often. I chose to build this page because I am fascinated with magnetism and surprised by the ways they can be helpful. I am an electrical hobbyist and a big fan of
Nikola Tesla. If you like to play, experiment, or need magnets for practical uses I am sure You will find what You need. There are common and uncommon uses which are very innovative and interesting.

DID YOU KNOW.........

All electrical energy produced by mankind requires magnetism! (Yes! Even Solar Generated!)

Magnets are used by many people to increased health, brain activity and heal injury!

There are many types of magnets of all shapes and sizes readily available and quite affordable for the general public!

Rare earth magnets known as neodymium ( pronounced ; " knee-oh-dim-ee-um ") are the strongest (super strong) are readily available (despite the term "rare earth").

This lens provides links to Answers.com (click the big " i " below) for a complete description of magnet types and scientific data, (VERY informative and interesting!) ;
links for a huge variety of magnets available to the general public (and surprisingly affordable) ; links for related electrical-magnetic, solar, and wind power generating systems and components or combinations of all three (called hybrids).
With new government rebates these systems are well worth looking into as the trend for rising energy costs increases - not to mention the greener earth factor for all of our futures!

Magnets are manufactured in a huge variety of shapes and sizes as well as different materials and grades for strength and application and are readily available to the general public in small and large quantities.
Below are some samples to get your imagination going. For example, check out ferrofluid - a liquid magnetic fluid used in some high tech applications. I imagine it as being magnetic quicksilver.
Most items are available in different sizes or configurations; just click on "Applied Magnets" then select a picture of the similar item to find a complete listing and product reviews.

Magnets, the Sun, and Wind Power

Nature's energy for a Green Earth

Energy and the environment are the two biggies lately.
Wind and magnetics are a natural match for producing cheaper electrical power and who knows, You might sell some electricity back to the power company (it is more common than You might think).

Check out some great options @ Applied Magnets for alternate energy.
There is wind powered, solar, and hybrid (combination wind and solar)

How about a hybrid electrical generator using solar, wind and our old friend, the magnet?

Maybe You could use a wind, solar, or hybrid water pump!

Sample systems, books and information @ Applied Magnets just click on a related item to see a complete list and tons of related items. Everything You could need for a complete system or products to build Your own.

P.S. After visiting Wyoming I have often said that everyone there should have a wind power generator.

If You don't know much about wind and solar using magnets etc. Here are titles of
a couple good books @ Applied magnets to get started. There are several other titles listed, just click on applied Magnets (above) to check it out!

P.S.

Concerning Magnets

There are so many uses for magnets that it is virtually limited to one's imagination only. How about a magnet for gold? This has been a long standing joke, but I plan to post something very interesting about the possibility later as I build on this lens.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope You were inspired or found something You can use or benefit from in the way of magnetism.
