Where You Can Find Magnets

Magnets can be found in a lot of places. Most people get theirs from toy stores and Radio Shack. These magnets are not very strong. If you want a good strong magnet, find an old hard drive and take it apart. The magnets will be under that swing arm thingie and there should be one or two glued to a steel plate. Take a screwdriver and prise them off but be carefull as these magnets are ceramic magnets and can break easy. Other places to find good strong magnets are old broken microwave ovens,computer monitors, and woofer style speakers. Some of the speaker magnets can be quiet large and I recently got myself a pair of 4 inch ring magnets off of the back of a couple of 9x6 car speakers. Care should be taken when playing around with these larger magnets as they can really hurt you if allowed to snap together too fast. You can also find a large selection of magnets online. Places like Scitoys.com and Supermagnetman.net as well as ebay offer just about any size magnet you'd care to have.
