I have never wanted a giant neodymium magnet and thick copper pipe more than I do right now!

According to Wikipedia:

“A neodymium magnet (also known as NdFeB, NIB or Neo magnet), the most widely used type of rare-earth magnet, is a permanent magnet made from an alloy of neodymium, iron and boron to form the Nd2Fe14B tetragonal crystalline structure. Developed in 1982 by General Motors and Sumitomo Special Metals, neodymium magnets are the strongest type of permanent magnet commercially available”

 

If any fellow sifters out there would be kind enough to explain (in simple terms), what is happening and why in the comments, I’m sure everyone (including myself) would greatly appreciate it!
