deepblue Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Do magnets ever die completely? I know they mellow with age, but will there ever be a time when they simply wear out? Any scientists out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRV-Zeppelin Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 It all depends on the quantative ratios of the electrothermal-magnetic higgsfield relative to the sub-atomic proton quarks. Depending on the variation of the constant velocity of light over the chemical matter of valence electrons as measured in kilopascal moles, the number of Newton particles may have a detrimental effect on the aforementioned magnet life, thus wearing them out completely after a certain amount of time. But only if the final calculation is equal to less than the total sum of the responding variables as measured by the parabolic formula y=2x^8.134.

SRV-Zeppelin Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Maybe ask Old Deadhead, he's apparently a licensed electrician. I don't remember that much from my degree in applied thermo-nuclear physics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRV-Zeppelin Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 JUST KIDDING, of course.... I know absolutely nothing about magnets. (or applied thermo-nuclear physics.) I'm just really good at making up sh!t that sounds intelligent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundergod Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I knew it... there was no f-ckin' way you came up with that so fast and was right about it! Good one by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thermionik Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Deepblue - to answer your question..... A permanent magnet will retain its magnetism unless it is affected by a strong outside magnetic or electrical force, or elevated temperatures. If they are not exposed to any of these conditions, permanent magnets will lose magnetism on their own very slowly, at approximately one percentage point every ten years. So a magnet will become 10% less strong (noticeable loss of signal in a guitar pup) after about 100 years. Die completely - no, fade away to not measurable, yes - in several thousand years.....
