Hello,
Can someone here settle a debate for me? A friend of mine said that if you hold two neodymium magnets 1" or so apart from each other with attracting ends (N-S) facing each other for prolonged periods of time (years and years), nothing will happen to the magnetic field. I stated, however, that the fields will eventually start to lose their magnetism much faster that letting the charge deplete on it's own (1% every ten years according to what I read).
He also states that if you pass another magnet through the two magnets held 1" or so through the both of them, also with attracting sides for the whole thing (n-s...n-s...n-s), where that third magnet keeps passing through the two over and over, he said it still won't matter.
I don't think that's true, is it?
Thank you much
