Neodymium magnets crush finger

It's good thing 'our' magnets are smaller:

-> Accident Resulting in Minor Amputation

And my former employer www.asml.nl, Dutch, like Dirk, is experimenting with arrays of those huge magnets for their wafersteppers ...

Vriendelijke groeten Ron

We work with neodymium magnets at work as well. There are strict rules to ensure safe operation and to avoid accidents while magnetising and handling. When I look at these "wooden bobbycar-crashtests" it looks very much like a candidate for "darvin awards" or similar!

Magnets are no solid bricks by themselves. The magnet forces try to force them into peaces and only the sintering keeps them together. The next attempt of such a crash test it might happen that there are bricks of magnets flying around hitting what ever is in their way!

The guy can be happy that only his finger was injured. Gambling around with magnets of this size should be done with more security measure. Especially this thoughtlessnes should not be published in internet. Sure such magnets can break your finger! They can also "kind of explode"! Might be the topic for the next video and diffrent pictures documenting the next damage to come ( don't let magnets fly into your eyes!)...

Eike, was meinst Du mit 'wooden bobbycar-crashtests'?

He means amateurish (dt. "stümperhafte") tests. This guy runs these tests without any regard to the risks of a "exploding" magnet.

Zum Vergrößern anklicken....

Dein Link, drittes Bild von oben und das Video drunter, wo er irgendwelche Knochen zermalmt (Geflügel?).

Das ist ein Bobby Car und auf dem Niveau betrachte ich diese Tests, die bringen keinen wirklichen Informationsnährwert, dafür aber einige Risiken für alle/alles, die sich da im Raum befinden...

Seine Fingerspitze hat der Typ ja schon zermatscht, ob er daraus klüger geworden ist, wage ich anhand seiner Versuche zu bezweifeln .
