Therapeutic Designer Magnetic Bracelets From L Michaels
Permanent magnets are magnets that provide a consistent and steady, as opposed to oscillating, magnetic field. Permanent magnets are created primarily by the spin of electrons within a substance. If the spin of a sufficient number of electrons is aligned in the same direction, the substance becomes magnetic. Most magnets are currently made by passing a strong surge of direct-current (DC) electricity through an iron bar.Their strength can be greatly increased by combining iron with other elements. Our magnetic golf bracelets are composed of neodymium, iron, boron (NdFeB) with copper added as well. They are initially ground into a powdered mixture which is then pressed under great pressure into molds. The material is then sintered (heated under a vacuum), cooled, and then sliced into the desired shape. Coating is then applied. Finally, the blank magnets are magnetized by exposing them to a very powerful magnetic field. Neodymium magnets are a member of the rare earth magnetic family. They are called "rare earth" because neodymium is a member of the "rare earth" elements on the periodic table.Neodymium magnets are the strongest of the rare earth magnets and are the strongest permanent, or static, magnets available.
Neodymium magnets are the most widely used for healing purposes, provide the best conductive field, and are called healing magnets for that reason. For a magnet to be therapeutic, it must be able to penetrate the skin and create a magnetic field. Gauss is the unit by which the strength of a magnet is measured-the higher the gauss, the stronger the magnet. A strength rating of at least 800 gauss is necessary to penetrate through the skin and into the body. A healing magnet should therefore have a minimum strength of 800 gauss. Neodymium magnets are considered to have the deepest penetrating fields. Each of the neodymium magnets in our golf bracelets has a gauss rating of 4,000 to 5,000 and is able to penetrate 2-4 inches below the skin. The more magnets that an item includes, the stronger is the magnetic field and the depth of penetration. Our magnetic bracelets are comprised of approximately 50 individual magnets that are held together by their polarities.
