A question about permanent magnets !.

''manufacture a neodymium magnet" was the key words I  deduced my assumption from.

I see your point too.

It could be interpreted both ways actually.

Perhaps Bulbz will shed some light on what he meant exactly.

Does not matter, I have no answers.

Does not matter, I have no answers.

On the contrary IronHead.

If Bulbz says that indeed he meant the entire process from material manufacture etc, as you stated, then your answer above is the correct one:

It is difficult if not impossible to put a number on it.

Yes, I will shed more light on the subject. I am a strong believer in harnessing power from magnets, but I remember reading an article somewhere on the net, and can not remember which site I read it on.

Some skeptic stated "You will never get free energy, and it takes more to charge the magnets than you can harness from them !". Then he added "You also have to consider the other processes". I think he means stuff like producing heat for the sintering process, and cutting the cores into shape and all that.

Now... My answer to the skeptic is... A magnet can last for thousands of years, am I correct ?. But surely it can not take thousands of years to manufacture a magnet. And if the skeptic thinks that it takes that much energy to make a magnet, just how big does he think the manufacturers annual energy bill is ?. Is the skeptic trying to say, that the manufacturer squeezes thousands of years worth of energy, into a single magnet ?.

Personally... I think that the Powers That Be and the Skeptics should go and take their oil, and go and boil their heads with it. That's one of my more softer messages to the secret governments .
