Magnet Myths and Misconceptions

Short n simple.  Like I said, please test for yourselves.

Just tried 5 of those 5/8in disks stacked and still turns with force of having a strong mag nearby. Tried a 3/8 x 1/8, turns strong.   

I spend 2 min trying to get the thin mags to stand on end with the utmost frustration.  Ive stacked pool balls 3 high, this thing was beating me at lunch time.  It wasnt till I went with the 5/8 disk, thinking it should be easier to stand on end than a nickle. Spent time eliminating possible causes.  Then it just spun and did a tiny wiggle and faced N.

What would be the effects of the earths field getting this strong or stronger?

Just tried it on my kitchen counter. Bathroom sink.  Have a half inch pvc board an went outside to try in in the middle of the street, in the parking lot and on the sidewalk.

The same each time. When I went out, a couple of neighbors were walking their dogs and I showed them and explained what I believe is going on. They may be weirded out by me now. lol  dont care.

But I see over 100 reads already, but no test replies.  Hmm.  Am I nuts and this is the way things are and always have been with the earths mag field and Im just not seeing it till now??    Na, couldnt be. 

Had a thought while writing that last sentence.  I just tried to roll the mag in line with N and S. Keeps falling over, no roll. If I roll it E and W with the mag naturally aligned with N, it rolls. Aligned with S, it falls over. Every time.

Just pinched myself. it hurted.

Just looked up some stuff. No articles on increased earth field, but some are saying it is fading.

Not by my understanding.  Im going to call a relative about 150mi N of me and send them a mag to try.    Im dying to know. So this is the only way I will find out for sure I suppose.

Hi Magluvin,

Guess we can rule out poltergeists , I tried the experiment and got the same results, live near NY. I tried on different surfaces and to make sure there was nothing in the house went outside with a flat glass casserole bowl (low friction) and it also aligned N/S. I Stacked two 1/4" wide disc magnets together and they also turned without falling over. I tried a thin square magnet but didn't get it to turn.

This map shows magnetic anomalies in your area there is a kml file for Google Earth.

Thanks for sharing your experiments.
