I'm going to do something. I NEED TO know if it's safe

Cows will be given magnets to attract any hardware (nails, etc.) that they may have ingested. However, I doubt they are ever given more than one at a time. If I'm not mistaken, they often stay in the stomach.

I was going to point out the same thing. Though, no, they aren't intended to pass beyond the stomach of cows. They remain in the stomach chamber known as the rumen, and are intended to keep bits of things like baling wire that wind up mixed in the hay from puncturing the intestines. Then again, cows don't get to live as long as people do.

Neodymium tarnishes in air, forming an oxide form that splits and exposes to further oxidation. The coated form does not protect the metal from further oxidation (it must be stored away from contact with air). The metal is also attacked by water and by acids.

Nd+HCl(aq)-->NdCl3 which is very soluble in water, 96.5g/100ml.

However, Nd magnets have a thin coating of some sort to prevent oxidation. I'm not sure what it is and how long it lasts in dilute HCl.

I think I can affect a compass from that distance.

Tell me what happens when they roll you into the ER and take a MRI scan there are other places to put the magnet in order to affect a compass! or are you planning to do the trick butt-naked?

You S.O.B.s I've been stuck to the side of the refridgerator for the last 7 hours and no one came to check on me.

I bet if you get a really strong magnet, and glue it to right outside your anus, in two days a magnet will come flying out.

Hopefully there are some ladies who've swallowed iron(steel) stuff[/size] to find him attractive!

 

[JasonRox]

When it's ready to come out, a wrench is certainly going to hit you in the @$$!

Nd magnets usually have a nickel coating to protect them since the actual magnet material is very brittle.
I had/have some Nd magnets which I kept to near where I keep my Hydrochloric acid bottle. The fumes escaping from the HCl bottle ate away the coating, exposing the Nd-B-I magnet beneath.

You know, I'd be more worried about what the magnet could do to your insides. If you sit close enough to something metal, couldn't it just rip through your stomach/intestines to get to the inside of your skin?

Whew, he's alive.

You didn't do it, did you?

no,, i thought about it though

 

[Cyrus]

Its not going to do anything to you. Magnetic fields can travel through your body, and do all the time. Its not going to do anything. Just don't put more than one down there.

 

[tribdog]

is that a dare?

 

[Cyrus]

Well, if you want two of them to get suck together with a piece of your intestine inbetween them, then by all means go ahead.

P.S. I found out how to do the fill the soda can back up trick on the david blane thread. Its sick.

 

[tribdog]

yeah. well I can do all of his card tricks.
back to the magnets. I didn't swallow one, so I stuck one up my nose instead I can stick things to my head now.
