Kleine Quizfrage: Was sieht man auf dem obrigen Bild?
✓ Zwei Magnete.
✓ Einen Kugelschreiber.
✓ Teppich und hinten irgendwas mit Fell überzogen.
✓ Einen Fingernagel.
✗ Sicherheitsabstand zwischen den Magneten.
Wie das Ergebnis, also der Finger danach aussah… nicht allzu schön kann ich dazu nur sagen:
Dirk had an accident. It took 1 1/2 hours of surgery to remove the shattered bones and repair the damage. Medically speaking, he crushed his right index finger distal phalange. The magnets had a 50 cm (20 inch) separation when they decided to fly together.
He is lucky that he only lost a finger tip as opposed to his whole hand. The block Neo below is about 4″ by 2″ by 2″ N45 with a pull force of around 700 lbs (320 kg). The disk is about 3″ dia. by 2 1/2″ thick N45 with a pull force of about 400 lbs (180 kg). That is his fingernail and some of his finger tip caught between the magnets.
