What happens here

The presenter begins by illustrating a common problem with regular magnets when attached to a steel surface: they tend to slide down when weight is applied. He then introduces 'programmed magnets' by Gator Magnetics, using a visual aid (a clear film) to show how the North and South poles are precisely magnetized on the same surface of the magnet. This programming is what differentiates them from standard magnets.

Goal: Learn the difference between regular and programmed magnets and their magnetic pole configuration.

What they say

Hide

So a regular magnet, when you connect that to a piece of steel, what's the problem we all have? Slide down. Slide down when you put weight on them. So we have a technology where we program these magnets. So if you look at that, I don't know if you can see that. Yeah, we definitely can see that. We got the North and South poles all magnetized on the same surface. So why that's a big deal is now we can take, I'll use this one that's on here.
