sup /sci/, will rubbing another magnet on my magnetic compass damage it? or will it make it more responsive? Do magnets eventually expire and lose their magnet powers or do they stay as magnets for infinity. Please enlighten me, oh glorious /sci/borgs

>>	Anonymous Sat Aug 7 15:32:44 2010 No.1562406 a) more responsive b) "magnets" that you have on mind DO spontaneously demagnetise over time.

>>	Anonymous Sat Aug 7 15:36:44 2010 No.1562429 Yes, magnets demagnetize, and no, rubbing a magnet on another won't really accelerate the process. Banging a magnet hard will remagnetize it in the direction of the prevailing magnetic field (and with possibly somewhat similar strength).
