Since we've gone a little OT... anyone want to test out if this is true or not?

@SLPbum - An oversize box with lots of filler(peanuts) to keep the magnet near the center should do the job. If memory serves there also some cases/material specifically made for magnetic shielding.

I actually wouldn't mind a more expert answer myself though:whistle:

When I got my magnet back in college it came in a slightly larger than a shoe sized box... in an antistatic bag, and sandwiched more or less in the middle. I made a smaller wooden box about 1.5" think on all sides for it, and lined the inside and outside with antistatic plastic. Not the most pretty approach, but it worked. Also kept it in a drawer in a wooden desk nothing metal around it.

I wiped my laptop hard drive in high school with my 1" diameter 2" thick NIB magnet. It was going in for a repair because my trackpad no longer wanted to work. I had a bunch of source code on it that I didn't want going anywhere, so I stuck my magnet on the spot where the hard drive was. The computer cut off and wouldn't even boot anymore.

So yes, big rare earth magnets are quite effective. :)

I figured as much. Chances are the article is correct in regards to ordinary magnets. Not n50+ magnets.

@SLPbum - I basically spent the money I was gonna use for a vacation on lasers and laser related stuff:eek:

Something about beams of coherent light... just shuts off the accountant part of my brain.

I keep setting myself a spending limit on lasers every month, and every month I end up breaking it... already went over by $65 and it's only the 7th of the month:undecided:
