After reading that I dont' know how a photographer could keep the camera from sticking to the magnet.

that's what i was going for (even though i also thought the memory of the camera would be messed up).

they still make those wacky "film" cameras.

You should put one in each of your pockets and see what happens.

wouldn't all electronics be affected by these things? how far away was the camera when they took that picture?

I can't think of any reason why a digital camera would be affected, since the memory is electronic, not magnetic.

Cos if you're not careful the magnets will distort the pixel array and create unwanted noise in the image. The pixels will get sucked out through the DAC/CAD Photomultiplier tube before it goes to the RGB to CMY/Lab conversion unit. If that happens all hell will break loose.

Yes, but will it suck the iron out of one's bloodstream? If not, these are of no use to me. :twisted:

What are you doing with an iron in your bloodstream? Were the white blood cells wrinkled?

...and then we'll never get back to 1984.

I wonder if you could store it in a Faraday cage?

I asked 'em, they said no. The only effective shield against a magnet is distance.

I've been working on biological effects of magnetic fields for most of my career. There likely wouldn't be much in the way of physiological effects with these magnets, but it's hard to say because they don't state any intensities of the magnets in Tesla or Gauss. But it's safe to say that they aren't as strong as the main bore of an MRI which have to be helium cooled. I'd guess these ones on the site are in the millitesla range.

And any relatively strong static MFs will affect electronic circuits.

Dude, we all fucking knew that. That's like telling me shit I already know. Of course they don't state that shit in Gauss. That would be riduculous.

just shut the fuck up dumpjack. nobody asked you to come into this thread with your "phd" and your "actual knowledge."

Why wouldn't they state the intensity? And what's with the fucking attitude?

Joking. I have no idea what/who a Gauss is.

I know, I grudgingly use them from time to time because of what just happened. I hate snapping at people for no reason.
