    • @onradioactivewaves
      @onradioactivewaves Před 3 lety +2

      The cintered magnets use a formula (ratio of elements) that can hold a stronger field, theres other types that are not as strong magnetically but are stronger physically by having a true metallic crystal structure, for applications where the magnet needs to not break. Its a tradeoff between the required physical strength versus magnetic strength.

      Many people have the misconception that America's technological lead during the cold war was because of basic science. This is not true at all. Most of the hardcore scientists making waves in America were European imports. America excelled more in industry. In fact, the Soviet Union had extremely advanced basic science. Their chemists and physicists were probably actually better. Even today, any American college research library worth its salt will have a few dozen shelves worth of old Soviet chemistry journals. The failures of the Soviet system were not scientific at all. Communism just doesn't work!
