Magnets are the unsung hero's
of our time! Not as awesome as atomic energy or flashy as electricity. We
just think about sticking them on our refrigerators but magnets are much more!
Given
a chance magnets can be quite unforgettable.
You use magnets everyday--they are throughout our home, car,
and offices. Magnets are everywhere. They drive our world. We rely on magnets,
electro
magnets,
and magnetized material. Magnets are in home entertainment equipment, computers,
credit cards, and are a key feature in airport security detection. Magnets
help travel, communication, and are in the cutting edge of medicine.
People have always been fascinated with magnets. As children
we played with toys that had magnets that would repel or attract. At Magic
Mountain,
California,
magnets are used on the roller coaster to hold the cars on the tract
and propels the cars over 100 mph. Magnets are perpetual and don't have to
be recharged
or need batteries. Magnetism is fascinating because of the mystery--you
don't see the pushing or pulling.
There are permanent magnets that once magnetized hold onto their
magnetism forever. There are temporary magnets, such as a bar magnet on a CD
which
is degaussed when paid for so as not to set off the alarm at the door.
Also an
electro magnet requires electricity to operate. A junk yard magnet picks
up large amounts of metal and it can be switched on and off.
Magnetism is the force without touch. It has been a source of
intrigue to humans for thousands of years. In ancient years Plato was the first
to describe
the
properties of magnets. The Greeks encountered magnets in an area called
Magnesia from which our word magnet was derived. Magnetic Loadstone
was
found through
this area and is our only natural occurring magnet. Scientists refer
to this as Magnetite. How it was magnetized is still a mystery. It
is believed
it
was caused by lightening strikes on the rocks.
The first practical use of a magnet was a compass. The scientific
age of magnetism began in the 1600s when it was first determined the earth
was
a giant magnet.
This is why the compass needle points North.
In the 20th century consumers started to buy appliances and
other items that use magnets. The telegraph was able to send messages by
using
magnets. This
concept would be used in thousands of applications--doorbells,
telephones, speakers--but its greatest application was being able to make things
spin, like electric motors. Wherever there is a cake mixer, shaver,
washing machine,
or an assembly line, there are permanent magnets.
Magnets play a critical role in the generators that provide
the world with electricity. We also have magnets that are smaller and
stronger
and are
resistant to demagnification. Industry and technology have worked
hand in hand to lead
the country to a more prosperous future through magnets.
TV became a reality by using magnets. Medical science, while
working with the use of magnets to discover a method to scan
the human
body, discovered
MRI
testing. Some applications need strong miniature magnets such
as hearing aides, cell phones, and lap top computers. Also,
some luxury
feature
car options--remote
control mirrors, power seats and windows, retractable antennas
and sun roofs. Magnets help run the tiny motors with these
options. But
it is
the scientists
and think tanks that drive the creations of the uses for magnets.
Ultimately it is the consumer that demands smaller, more convenient
products that
are more efficient and that is the driving force behind the
numbers of magnets
in use today.
While magnets have been utilized by man for some 2000 years,
magnets will help us create our future in a number of exciting
ways. Magnets
are continually
being tried and tested to help us make our lives easier through
the application of convenience. Thus, GMX Magnetic Fluid Conditioners.
