Amazing Magnet will show you a different view of magnets, a colorful and creative world formed by magnets. You will definitely be amazed at what magnets can do. ABOUT THE MAGNETMAN In 1989, we launched our black and white photo magnets, and today we not only produce photo magnets, but 4×6 and 5×7 photos and magazine covers. Our new printers, and state-of the-art software allows us to produce photos faster.
Cool Experiments with Magnets
This web site is devoted to magnetism and the cool experiments you can do with permanent magnets and electro-magnets. Some of the experiments are very basic - things you've done since third grade. Others are unique - perhaps you hadn't thought of doing some of these before, or had difficulty in trying to set them up. Lists of the materials needed for the demonstrations, directions on how to assemble them, instructions on how to show them, and notes on how they work are all here for you. Also shown are several cool magnetic toys you can buy. Of course, there are also links to useful sites, articles, videos, animations, sources and books on magnets. The list below is an index into this site to help you quickly find what you are looking for. In addition, there is a site-search at the beginning and end of this index for detailed searches of this site.
Have fun with hands-on experiments!
- Magnet Man: Invasion of the Leptons is a conceptual fan game idea by D-Boy Wheeler, starring Magnet Man from Mega Man 3. In this game, Magnet Man faces the Evil Energy. The enemies that stand in his way, which serve as the 'Robot Masters' of this game, are known as the Leptons.
- A magnet is a material or object that produces a magnetic field.This magnetic field is invisible but is responsible for the most notable property of a magnet: a force that pulls on other ferromagnetic materials, such as iron, steel, nickel, cobalt, etc. And attracts or repels other magnets. A permanent magnet is an object made from a material that is magnetized and creates its own persistent.
