That's cool. Here's another interesting thing to do. (Saw this after viewing the one you posted.)Ps when you get the magnets try drop one thru a non magnetic pipe of sorts ( cupper or aluminum ), you will see wondrous things happen.
That is a very strong magnet, how many times has it "bit" you ? Do they send you these with separators if you are getting more then 1 ?Just measured one. It is 1-1/8 inches long x 3/4 inches wide x 3/8 inch thick - 30mm x 20mm x 10mm
It is THIS one on Banggood.
Here's one of them holding my DIY Mobius Eyeball Cam on a piece of glass for the photo.

Now I know why you had trouble getting it off the refrigerator, LOL, I'm surprised you did get it to slide off.
I weighed the Mobius and Helmet mount today, 3 oz. I think that magnet would be over kill for mounting to a straight/flat piece of metal like a window frame or something similar, however I say this from reading, with no practical experience. I can see now that you have been playing around with neodymium for quite some time
Those prices on Banggood beat everyone!
Save yourself a lot of money and go for a safe controllable one: http://shop.sciencefirst.com/magnetism/2850-magnet-lifting-500lb.html
I never saw that series, but maybe if it air on regular TV one day.
Speaking of electro-magnets I'm reminded of one of my favorite scenes (among many) from Breaking Bad where Walter White and Jesse, et al., use a giant electro-magnet to erase an incriminating hard drive locked up in the evidence room at police headquarters.
Yeah there was a lot of talk when it ran, and even i heard about it and its not like i see a lot of ppl.
Actually i think the unabomber saw more ppl than i do
I'm going to look for that tonight series tonight, very cool!
What you said about getting a few and seeing what they actually do sounds like a good plan, thanks.
When you need some different sized discs/rectangle for magnets where do you get them or can you use regular steel washers. I was looking for them today and all I could find was minium buy places like a 100 or 1000 of the same thing per order ?
After 5 seasons with Mr. White, the much hyped spin-off Better call Saul; went down the drain after the first few episodes, at least for me. Narcos is good.
Edit:
I'm still on the 3rd episode, the reaction to the dog being shot and the tree hanging scene with Pablo are priceless.
You put a circular magnet on both surfaces, then as long as you get them the correct way up you have twice the hold, plus if you go over a pothole causing the camera to slide sideways a little, it will always return to the correct position because two circular magnets are self centering. With one magnet plus a washer each pothole will cause it to slide a little further out of position.When you need some different sized discs/rectangle for magnets where do you get them or can you use regular steel washers.
