Separating flat magnets Tin cans as leverage
Author: R. C., Cointrin, Switzerland
Two inseparable magnets
I have 2 strong disc magnets, that like to hook up. Getting them apart is rather difficult. I use two tin cans as leverage.
Two tin cans
First, I place the magnets between the tin cans.
On the edge
Then, I put one can on the edge of a piece of furniture. I press the second can down.
Two separated magnets
As you can see, it works like a charm.
