Smarter Every Day: Mind-Blowing Magic Magnets
published by Destin Sandlin
In this 9-minute video, Destin Sandlin explores exciting new technologies in polymagnets and how 3D printing is being used to manipulate the magnetic fields in polymagnets. The resulting magnetic behaviors are being used for a variety of creative applications, such as magnetic couplings without physical contact. Sandlin shows superimposed magnetic field lines in drawings above a conventional magnet and a 3D printed polymagnet to show the surprising difference in field configuration.

This award-winning YouTube educational channel features a large collection of short videos about science, technology, and engineering created by mechanical engineer Destin Sandlin.

Next Generation Science Standards

Disciplinary Core Ideas (K-12)

Types of Interactions (PS2.B)
  • Forces that act at a distance (electric, magnetic, and gravitational) can be explained by fields that extend through space and can be mapped by their effect on a test object (a charged object, or a ball, respectively). (6-8)
  • Forces at a distance are explained by fields (gravitational, electric, and magnetic) permeating space that can transfer energy through space. Magnets or electric currents cause magnetic fields; electric charges or changing magnetic fields cause electric fields. (9-12)
Relationship Between Energy and Forces (PS3.C)
  • When two objects interacting through a field change relative position, the energy stored in the field is changed. (9-12)

Crosscutting Concepts (K-12)

Structure and Function (K-12)
  • Complex and microscopic structures and systems can be visualized, modeled, and used to describe how their function depends on the shapes, composition, and relationships among its parts, therefore complex natural structures/systems can be analyzed to determine how they function. (6-8)
  • Investigating or designing new systems or structures requires a detailed examination of the properties of different materials, the structures of different components, and connections of components to reveal its function and/or solve a problem. (9-12)
  • The functions and properties of natural and designed objects and systems can be inferred from their overall structure, the way their components are shaped and used, and the molecular substructures of its various materials. (9-12)
Influence of Engineering, Technology, and Science on Society and the Natural World (K-12)
  • Modern civilization depends on major technological systems. (9-12)
  • Engineers continuously modify these technological systems by applying scientific knowledge and engineering design practices to increase benefits while decreasing costs and risks. (9-12)
Interdependence of Science, Engineering, and Technology (K-12)
  • Science and engineering complement each other in the cycle known as research and development (R&D). (9-12)
Science is a Human Endeavor (3-12)
  • Science is a result of human endeavors, imagination, and creativity. (9-12)
