Do you find it difficult to handle tiny steel fasteners? Here is a simple tool that would undoubtedly elicit eye rolls from my daughters.

Your comments are welcome. All of us are smarter than any one of us.
Thanks,

Clever. One of my favorite tools is a hook & pick set with changeable insets. One end of the Aluminium handle has a small Neodymium magnet on it and it is invaluable for picking out small parts.

There is a company, Dangerous Things, that makes a non-FDA approved probably will give your cancer cancer magnet that's designed to be implanted under your skin. They actually have two. One is axially magnetized to help you feel magnetic fields and the other is diametrically magnetized to maximize lifting power.
(Mods please remove this if it's against policy.)

I want one, but I'm a coward.
Why do you want one?
Rick
No practical purpose, really. The nifty factor of adding another sense, being able to feel magnetic fields, appeals to me. I.e. It would be cool to be able to feel when an AC line is electrified. Also, looping back to the parent post, picking up small screws.
If we were hacking on other senses too I'd love the native ability to find north. As far as I know we don't have the technology for that yet.
You could Crazy Glue a small magnet to your finger. That would be harmless and almost do what you want. Being aware of the sun’s position and time of day can give you an idea of north.
Rick
I can usually tell where north is within a reasonable amount of error.
Unless I am in a Mall, then I get lost nearly every time. I blame it on the electrical field from florescent lights.
But the original post is near genius level!
Love it.
As A kid I used to wonder if eating crushed up magnets would turn me into a homing pidgin! I saw a video about those magnet implants about a year ago. I think the novelty would wear off being able to pick things up and it would be a real nuisance around any machine producing ferrous dust and/or small slivers.Quote:

I was totally aware Physically, of the unseen magnetic/electronic vibrations when Under High Voltage Wires ... by 45-60 days, by 90 days, when I was IN A building those radiating waves could be felt & made me "feel" nauseous.
Tesla wanted to use DC over the power lines Edison wanted to use AC.
As an Electronics oriented person for over Six DECADES, I know ALL forms of electrical power "Radiates from the wires", but I think the ALTERNATING of that radiating energy IS worse on our bodies!

With all due respect, you have that reversed. It may simply be a typo.Quote:

Thanks DuctTape, I did fast forward a bit:

"in 1892. Edison Electric's merger with their chief alternating current rival brought an end to the war of the currents"
IIRC, Edison ENDED UP, Pro AC, and (again IIRC) Mr. Tesla chose DC, but I am willing to admit, Currently (a pun on electrical use) I am a Turbo Charged V-8, with Three Pistons Removed from the engine, which brings us into Internal Combustion UP above someone had a BEATIFUL Norton!
