Yeah I haven't had my mind blown by magnets since I was a kid. This is dope
+Real Engineering That's exactly how I felt the moment I saw the "Spring Latch".
+SmarterEveryDay that was the moment that got me too. My brain just lit up with the possibilities.
+Real Engineering I think I might need a few days to recover from this.
Must agree. Not often you realize you see future tech in making :D
+Real Engineering What is also crazy is how people tend to view scientists as cold, killers of the imaginative wonder of magic, but when we see that magic, that is for the moment in-explainable, it is the thing that interests us the most.

These magnetic fields are incredibly important to Guitar pickups! By using different magnets and adding metal plates/covers you can affect your tone to get the desireable sound 🤘🏼
Wow. I totally agree with You Destin. Since I am finishing my medical studies soon the thing completely blew my mind. The moment I saw the magnets being close to each other i thought to myself - "hey, that's how the chondroid tissue in our joints work!". The large molecules called proteoglycans contain many branches of mucopolysaccharides (the "-"). This polarizes water molecules that slide inbetween the layers of our joints (*) so that they don't actually touch each other and are able to withstand the constant stress (friction). This may solve the problem orthopedics has to constantly face, namely the fact that todays prosthetic implants are atcually quite short-lasting. The estimated time of life of prosthetic implant is 15-20 years before it becomes rubbed off. Every orthopaedist (at least here, in Poland) had that dilema once - what to do with a patient who needs to undergo a hip or knee replacement, but is relatively young (40-50 y.o.) and his or hers estimated time of life is actually longer than the life of a prosthetic implant? Do you have some more information about the actual "maxel" size? What "resolutions" are archieavable? What is the closest archieavable spring distance? (*) To illustrate. Let's say the water molecule looks like that: (--+) and the joint is like: -- ]. The static charge in our joint is like: -- ] (+--)(--+) [ -- . Hope my little scheme put more light to my previous words.

+SmarterEveryDay Magnets without interference (or at least greatly reduced interference). The applications I can think of are far reached and profound.

That's some of the most incredible stuff I've seen in a while. The possibilities are endless!
I imagine coded magnetic locks or lock boxes, safes, Etc.
It's 2019, why isn't the world filled with polymagnets yet?
Am wondering the same thing!!
It is a specialized product that is used / will be used in specialized applications. Don't expect it in everyday life though - where would you really need it? Door locks and handles? Yeah, not that there is a real impeding need for polymagnets. Most probably you won\'t be seeing polymagnets as they will be inside machines and applications where you hardly ever look.
Actually, this kind of magnets are used in planar loudspeakers, I think like since 80th?
Have you ever heard of a tape recorder or magnetic memory? It exists for almost a century.
@Oh yeah yeah . I'd say that it is of some value for us humans to distinguish what probably has existed independent of us (if there is even such a "thing" ) from things we arranged in a way we can use them as technology, like e.g. the technology on the basis of which we are communicating. This technology is among other inventions based on the invention to store information with magnets.

Ok, so I'm trying to make sense of this one. These guys are taking the neodymium discs prior to their being magnetized, and somehow their machine must be able to focus an incredibly narrow magnetic field onto the surface to achieve magnetization of only the selected 'maxel' area? The precision alone is incredible. I would love to see the internals of the field generator. I wonder if they are not careful in the patterns they choose if the magnets can be given massive internal stresses that make them want to break themselves apart. Another thing: I had always assumed that the polarity of a magnet really doesn't play much of a role in how strongly it attracts ferromagnetic materials, but I now see I've been looking at it narrow mindedly as with these magnets the polarity can manipulate the intensity of the field itself over a given distance. Shoot, you show magnets at 5:00 that have had their fields manipulated for a tight reach, I wonder if the opposite is possible? A pattern of magnetization that causes multiple fields to converge at a specific point in space that is above the magnet's surface, like the focal point of a parabola? I would just love to play around with a few of these magnets and see how diamagnetic materials react to the tight reaching fields. My curiosity has been piqued. Thanks for the brain candy Destin
Neat.
I think a standard single field would be the longest range orientation, since the opposite appears to be true, and it makes sense, but I'm no magnetic wizard.
+pheredeath Yes, probably the longest field is accomplished by simple polarity, but length is not what I'm most curious about. I wonder if a magnet can be made where the highest intensity of it's field is located at a point above it's surface. Objects attracted to such a magnet would be held some distance away, suspended in the air where the fields converge.
+NightHawkInLight Wait, neodymium has to be magnetised? I thought it just *was* magnetic at all times. We're doing magnetism at the moment in A2 physics, and I think I might show this video to my class because we're all massive nerds and they'll love it.
The locking magnets did just that in the unlocked position.

I remember as a small boy in the early 60's when a telephone repairman came around to do some work on a nearby utility pole. I watched enthralled as the lineman went about his work. He must've been a father, because he saw me watching and probably understood the interest as I questioned him about the gaffs he used to climb the pole, the harness belt and his tools. Long story short, he took the time to talk with this little boy and as a parting gift, he gave me two "u" shaped magnets. I was hooked! In that moment that man advance my hunger for knowledge, and created a love for magnets that still lives in this now old grandpa's mind. Keep doing what you're doing Destin. It will pay exponential dividends that you cannot imagine. Thanks!
Love it. That bewildered look is priceless
This was way cool. I want that magnet latch system to become more of a standard!
As a mechanical engineer my brain started hurting with all the possibilities. I'm really curious how this could even change the motor or generator industry.

This is an incredible technology. There will be so many potential applications from day to day (he mentioned doorknobs) to manufacturing, to even enabling breakthrough technologies.
The potential applications for this technology are mind boggling! Imagine magnetic bearings using this technology. The friction coefficient would nearly disappear! Imagine what that would mean for the workings of machinery! I agree; this is a game changer for much of what makes our world work!!! This could have as big of an impact upon our world as electricity has!!!
How? I can't image a magnetic bearing with this, could you explain it more?

I thought the switchable (Magswitch) on/off magnet that I use in my shop was cool, This technology is incredible. There are probably 1000's of new products waiting to be invented using their invention. Thank you so much for creating this video! Great job as always.
"The force is strong with this one" Quote of the Year,
This may very well be the coolest thing I've seen all year.
This sort of stuff makes me feel less pessimistic towards our future.
Just wait until someone figures out how to weaponise it, then we can go back to being depressed like normal... I know what you mean though - some truly *incredible* ideas springing forth. --S
Stickie Dmin War will be a thing of the past when technology and changes to our economic model bring about planatary abundance though. And things like this are a baby step towards that. Please don't make me depressed I'm trying to stay positive hahaha
Ross Catto I honestly, truly, really hope that you're right, but people have been saying that (that technology and abundance will make war obsolete) since before the 1900s... Put dudes like Destin in charge, or make sure that those in charge *listen* to people like Destin, and we're in with a chance. --S
Stickie Dmin Well that's why I mentioned changes to our economic model. Under our current system we have great wealth in the hands of a few and under those conditions you cannot have democracy.
Ricardo Hernández If the kids I see walking around today are any indication of the way young people's haircuts are going to appear in the future ... they're going to look ridiculous. --S (the first time it ever really sank in that I was *old* was when I looked at a teenager and thought, "Wow, his haircut is appalling! He looks stupid!")
They need to have a simulator for printed magnets because I have tons of ideas but I don’t know if they work or not
would be kind of hard to test without physically handling them though... because some of the best ideas would likely come from something expected to do something else.
Ever since I watched this video a while back, I have been fascinated with magnets. This has made me fascinated with magnets
the only thing magical about this video is that little boy parents allowing him to have that hair cut in 2016

+hisham borgol That's what you take from this video? Wow! Just wow! The world just got a bit dumber thanks to you. Great job!
***** lol , dont make me laugh man , is that supposed to imply that you are smarter than me in some kind of a way ? because it doesnt really matter what i found this video to be , im subscribed to smarter everyday and all the other science channels on youtube and i love every video and new subject they .... but that does not make me by any means a smart person , however i can tell you what makes you dumb , the fact the you replied on a comment that was supposed to be funny and took with such great butthurtness ...... that my friend how much of a dumbass you are XD
If by that you mean that I started to think about application of magnetism and you are thinking about a haircut then yes.
I think this technology could revolutionize prosthetic knees, by minimizing friction, and therefor minimizing wear and tear to the prosthetic joint.
actually this could revolutionize pretty much anything... That is absolutely insane!
Absolutely! Frictionless movement controlled prostatic knees which can be locked or unlocked as required. Today's hydraulic and bionic knees has a limited life span, just imagine the life span of a frictionless product.
+Francois Harmse magnets have a life span thou
CunnningStunt not too many things don't have a life span
Around 300+ years for an "iron" magnet and several thousand years for neodymium. So way longer than any prostatic thing would be needed.
I like how after that Garrett kid did the demonstration destin was so surprised and wasn’t expecting anything, and he was like oh wow that was actually cool and everyone laughs

Ray-Ray McCut wait what? I never seen polymagnets
It's 2022 and I agree with you!!
Its been 5 years and my mind is still blown by this. I want a spring to play with
I love your series, and I have a request. One of the most mind- bending facts about magnets is that the magnetic field is not attached to the magnet. Meaning that rotating the magnet around its symmetry axis does not rotate the field. This can be demonstrated by separating two closely spaced disk magnets with a piece of paper, or cardboard, or glass, then rotating one of them. If the field is pinned to the magnet, the other one should also rotate. But it doesn't. I did my own experiment to verify this. You could show this with much better visualizations than I could, and reach a much wider audience. I used two neodymium disk magnets, separated by a layer of cardboard, and spun one of them with an electric drill, while the magnetically connected one remained stationary.
Ok so if I give my future son a bunch of magnets when he’s really little he will grow up and have his own KZhead channel? I’m down.
Tillamook KZhead won't exist in the future
Yoosur1235 you won't exist in the future
or he gets bullied at school just like that kid in the vid and then he shoots the school up welp.
Foggybear9, Nothing will exist in the future
yeah great achievement
They could do like a key and a doorlock that only opens with the exact magnet pattern
but you could copy the key with the magnetic foil or whatever they used in the video
Yes you can... if you also can afford to buy a 1 million magnet printing machine.. Maby your just cheaper buying a Ram or some C4
all you would have to do is heat up the magnet to break the lock
"Yes you can... if you also can afford to buy a 1 million magnet printing machine." Haha!
Maybe* you're* I don't think you need a 1 million magnet printing machine, you could manually make lines with magnetic wire for either south or north. Or heat up the magnet.
You can replace train wheels with those gear-like magnets, removing friction completely...
it would be easier to fall off/ push off the tracks (I'd assume)
@@adrianbarfoot3339 well, they can develop it the same way maglevs were developed
Traditional magnets would make that a bad idea, just cause they wouldn't last long enough to be worth it. Electromagnets are a good possibility though.
@@aaronjs99 If wheels are magnetic, wouldn't it attract magnetic particles along the way, such as iron fillings and sands?
Well yes, but you need said friction to produce a force that opposes air resistance.
Seeing those printed magnets reminds me of magic rune enchantments that we usually found in games/mmorpgs it's blows my mind imagining what amazing things can be created with those designs
I don't think people understand how big this can actually be. The applications for more precise magnetical control is huge. Science, medical, energy. You name it.
I was so happy to see you visit CMR here in Huntsville! My father is the inventor of the technology and started this company. His name is Larry Fullerton, an inventor with hundreds of patents and inventions. So many mind-blowing technologies that he is currently working on. It would be amazing to have you two meet.

+The Stampede i thought that too
Of all the things I've seen about technology on KZhead, in my opinion, this magnet technology is quite possibly the most important technological step forward. When I saw that "latch" magnet, my jaw dropped.
This "MAXELS" can also be found on a hard drive discs (HDD) of computers (not SSD). They save data in a very similar way this "maxel printer" works. If you look at 8:05 you can see red and blue dots on a disc. Example: On a HDD red is binary state 1 and blue is binary state 0. So when the "disc analyser" arm of HDD moves to a certain point on a disc/certain dot it reads the state. Combining this dots into a combination you get data. :)
Could you make magnetic lock and keys? Where You create a magnet with a random design and then create another magnet to perfectly complement it, and the only thing that can unlock the door is something that perfectly attracts?
dude, get a life.
This is a thing like it exists. My dad had padlocks with these magnet keys and you'd slap on this magnet and the lock would pop open. I never really understood it but i'm sure it's at least somewhat related
i like this idea
wouldnt they use magneting film to see the pattern and make a key????

those magnetic latches are insane i wanna get one!
the force is strong with this one
That magnetic pixel stuff could be used as keys.
Not really, all you would need is a magnetic viewing film on the lock to see the pattern and make the complementary key
Very good idea. Putting secrecy issues aside, it makes very convinient type of key. It can be "read" by hall sensor array in case secrecy is needed, but i bet another mechanical system would be much more usefull - imagine something like new type of electric box key. Pros are that it can make keyhole hermetically sealed AND still mechanical system. No dust, no moisture, no rust...
@@ramimerza644 well that's only if it's purely mechanical. If you instead have a scanner detect whatever pattern there is, and then compare that to a data preset kept securely then a magnetic viewing film wouldn't show anything.
@@cap5856 Rfid is easily hacked with a cellphone. They've been doing it for years in South America to get free bus passes. There aren't any encryption cyphers that obfuscate themselves either. Once you have the cypher, you can brute force at your leisure, from any location.

Does anyone know if this company is publicly trading stock?
It is not, and there are no recorded private transactions in the past year, either. Shame.
That is really cool, it makes me think of the mag transfer plates machinists use made of steel and brass
Whoa.... pretty cool Destin!
attract but not touching is already super cool, and they just made it ultra cool when they make the magnet "lockable".
if you had strong enough magnets you could in theory use the springs to replace conventional car suspensions
It also means you could make joints and things attached to other things, but separated sort of floating, like something you'd see in science fiction.
I don't think this would work. Suspension consists of a spring and damper assembly. Permanent magnets can only replicate the behaviour of the spring, not the damper as far as I am aware. Furthermore, why bother? Springs are probably lighter and cheaper than the magnets.
GM already has something similar to that in there high performance vehicles
putting high resistance coils around the magnets would lead to the desired dampening effect.
I bet that would make a smooooth ride too. Literally hovering.
It is completely insane. It will change a lot of things. To watch in the future. Thank you for letting me discover this.
Seems like it would have. I was excited when I saw this, until I noticed the date. (Mar 20, 2016.)
You could have made marbel track by using variable intensity of magnetic field And definetly that would look like magic
