A Explain how a magnet can store up 200 times more energy for 24 hrs.

AI Thread Summary
A magnet that typically lifts 1 lb of steel can be supercharged using a capacitor discharged into a 1000-turn coil, temporarily increasing its lifting capacity to 200 lbs for about four seconds. The magnet's strength diminishes rapidly, with a half-life that initially lasts four seconds but extends over time, eventually taking 24 hours to return to its normal strength of 1 lb. Other permanent magnets exhibit similar behavior when supercharged, returning to near-normal strength within 24 hours and fully recovering in about a month. The discussion raises questions about the mechanisms behind this temporary increase in magnetic power, suggesting that the phenomenon might involve temporary magnetization of the steel load rather than a permanent enhancement of the magnet itself. Further details on magnet geometry, coil coupling, and measurement tools like a Gaussmeter are requested for deeper analysis.

TL;DR Summary
Explain how this works?
I have a magnet that will lift only 1 lb of steel with an electric lift.

If I discharge a big capacitor into a 1000 turn coil with the magnet in the center of the coil it super charges the magnet it will lift 200 lbs for about 4 seconds. The magnet has a half life of about 4 second for about 30 seconds, 200 lbs drops to 100 lbs, then 50, then 25, then 12, etc. Half life starts geting longer 4 seconds becomes 10 seconds, then 30 sec, then 2 min, then 2 hrs, then 24 hrs. When the magnetic power drops to 2 lbs it takes about 24 hrs to get back to almost normal 1.2 lbs. It takes a month to be 1 lb again.

I have tried this with several other permanent magnets I can super charge all of them but they all return to almost normal in 24 hrs and normal in a month.

How is it possible for a magnet to store up such a strong magnetic power.?

Can you give more details about the geometry of the magnets and how you are coupling your coil to them? Also, if you can post datasheets for the magnets, that will help. Finally, do you have access to a Gaussmeter? Thanks.
 
I have to wonder whether you are "supercharging" the magnet with the coil, and instead what may be happening is a temporary magnetization of the steel load.
 
Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'
I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...
I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
