What are they?
A
magnet is an object that has a magnetic field. The word
magnet comes from the Greek "magnítis líthos" (μαγνήτης
λίθος), which means "magnesian stone". Magnesia is an area
in Greece where deposits of magnetite have been discovered
since antiquity.
Magnets are made of
special alloys that have been found through research to
create increasingly better magnets. The most common families
of magnet materials today are ones made out of Aluminum-Nickel-Cobalt
(Alnicos), Strontium-Iron (Ferrites, also known as
Ceramics), Neodymium-Iron-Boron (Neo magnets, sometimes
referred to as "super magnets"), and Samarium-Cobalt. (The
Samarium-Cobalt and Neodymium-Iron-Boron families are
collectively known as the Rare Earths.)
Modern magnet materials
are made through casting, pressing and sintering,
compression bonding, injection molding, extruding, or
calendering processes
Permanent magnets emit a
magnetic field without the need for any external source of
power
There are various
different types of permanent magnet materials, each with
their own unique characteristics. Each different material
has a family of grades that have properties slightly
different from each other, though based on the same
composition.
Which
are the strongest magnets?
The most powerful magnets
available today are the Rare Earths types. Of the Rare
Earths, Neodymium-Iron-Boron types are the strongest.
However, at elevated temperatures (of approximately 150
C
and above), the Samarium Cobalt types can be stronger than
the Neodymium-Iron-Boron types (depending on the magnetic
circuit).
How do you measure the
strength or power of a magnet?
Most commonly,
Gaussmeters are used to measure the strength of a magnet.
Gaussmeters measure the strength in Gauss.
What are Rare Earth
Magnets?
Rare Earth magnets are
magnets that are made out of the Rare Earth group of
elements. The most common Rare Earth magnets are the
Neodymium-Iron-Boron and Samarium Cobalt types
How
do they work?
Questions that often come
up are, "How do magnets work?
Those are good questions,
and deserve a good answer. However, did you know that there
is a lot about magnets at the atomic level that isn't known
yet?

A magnet is any object
that has a magnetic field. It attracts ferrous objects like
pieces of iron, steel, nickel and cobalt. In the early days,
the Greeks observed that the naturally occurring 'lodestone'
attracted iron pieces. From that day onwards began the
journey into the discovery of magnets.
Magnets are made in various shapes and sizes depending on
their use. One of the most common magnets - the bar magnet -
is a long, rectangular bar of uniform cross-section that
attracts pieces of ferrous objects. The magnetic compass
needle is also commonly used. The compass needle is a tiny
magnet which is free to move horizontally on a pivot. One
end of the compass needle points in the North direction and
the other end points in the South direction.
The end of a freely pivoted magnet will always point in the
North-South direction.
The end that points in
the North is called the North Pole of the magnet and the end
that points South is called the South Pole of the magnet. It
has been proven by experiments that like magnetic poles
repel each other whereas unlike poles attract each other.
Magnetic energy
stimulates blood travel at an accelerated pace which in turn
fully oxygenates the blood cells. This oxygen enriched blood
supply and enhanced circulation causes blood vessels to
dilate, allowing the injured tissue to receive additional
oxygen and nutrients via the bloodstream, thus accelerating
the healing progress.

Reference to the use of
magnets in healing date back to ancient Rome, Greek and
Chinese civilizations and today there is a growing amount of
both clinical and anecdotal evidence from scientific experts
of how both humans and animals are responding miraculously
to medical magnets.
Magnetic therapy is a
non-invasive treatment method with a very high success rate.
The results of studies have shown that 90% of users
experienced relief within two to four days from pain and
soreness with no negative side effects on the body.
Particularly noticeable was the effect on improving back and
shoulder problems and pain in the legs and hips.
