What if you could have a unipolar magnet?

You can go on alibaba.com. There are lots of unipolar magnet suppliers.

I am puzzled by the price.  $0.01 means a PENNY.


Can anybody explain the pricing?

It's best to contact the supplier and see if you can order small quantities. Most suppliers are very accomodating.

sorry to disappoint you,
In Alibaba the translations Chinese-English are misleading.

They write "single pole" and also "monopole, meaning that the magnet has only one pole in each face, as they also manufacture magnets with many poles per face. (e.g. Axially oriented in segments)

Hi,

I live in Asia.The price of magnet is indeed cheap in China.I think they are the main global supplier around 90% for neodymium.
Like wise for Lithium it's also around 90%.
