Where to get free neodymium magnets

Surely every person is familiar with a magnet and its properties. The use of magnets is now quite widespread in various industries. Most of us have heard about neodymium magnets and their growing popularity. These are quite powerful magnets that include boron, iron, and the rare earth element neodymium. Also, the magnets are quite powerful for their small size, and their service life is much longer than usual. The price for them is quite high. In this article we will tell you where to get small copies of this magnet.

From the speakers of a broken cell phone


Neodymium magnets can be obtained from the speakers of an unnecessary phone; there are two such speakers: one small auditory and a large one that plays a ringtone.

The larger magnet can be easily removed from the speaker; for this we will need pliers. Carefully break the speaker housing so as not to damage the magnet. Inside we see a small magnet with a diaphragm and a coil.

The magnet from the speaker is almost 2 times smaller than from the main speaker. Although it is small, it holds pliers with ease. Such a magnet can, for example, be attached to a screwdriver so that the screws do not fall off.

From a cell phone camera


Tiny neodymium magnets can be removed from a mobile phone camera, but only if the camera has optical autofocus or stabilization. Triangular magnets can be removed from the corners of the camera body.

Conclusion


Neodymium magnets have become very common in our lives. If you look closely, they surround us everywhere: in mobile phones, computers, engines, and various accessories. We tried to show several places where you can get them. You can use magnets wherever you have enough imagination. We used neodymium magnets in the generator of an eternal flashlight for a dog, and also as latches on VR glasses, as fastenings for notes on the refrigerator, and stuck a magnet on a screwdriver and screwdriver to make it convenient to unscrew and tighten screws.

    Yes, it’s too expensive and troublesome, I have about ten hard drives lying around, I take out neodymium magnets from them, they are healthy, strong, and the iron case is convenient, if anything, you can easily disengage it.

    What an idiot I am, though! Instead of wasting trash, I go to the store and buy neodymium magnets of the size I need! And there they are given in bulk from the box! Those bastards! And for mere pennies!!! But you can still dig up some gold from old items...

    Don’t even think about letting children “play with” this little thing - if they swallow it, it will lead to painful death. magnets attract and tear your insides

    What a passion...
    Neodymium magnets measuring 10*4 mm cost as much as 20 rubles apiece (if retail) in any salon that sells roller blinds.

    They are screwed onto the frames with small self-tapping screws, and the metal strip of the rolls sticks to them.

    In any city, you can go to any point selling light protection systems, roller blinds and blinds and buy them.

    Much larger and more powerful than cellular cameras, speakers and other small things.

    P.s.
    Large magnets (capable of stopping a water meter) are sold in all spontaneous markets in the country.

    You can also get neodymium magnets from the heads of CDs, DVDs, and similar drives.
    They are also available on hard drives.
    In magnetic clasps of bags. They also come in laptops, in plastic. in film headphones and speakers.
    In powerful car speakers. in stepper motors, electric motors of video cameras, photos and other small-sized equipment.

    By the way! There are also VERY strong magnets that should be in magnetrons, for example from microwaves, ovens, and also from all sorts of radars.

    Aliexpress doesn't have any of them. I ordered myself a package (50 pieces) of round ones with a hole for a self-tapping screw for 100 rubles. Enough for a lifetime, what nonsense to do - pick headphones

      Well, they gave you a thumbs up, but there’s no way to put it down, in short, I’d give it and I’ll give it to everyone here who’s up and who’s very smart, who’s got a bad thumbs up.
