[TheForge]magnet Q.

[Gladish Family]

Roger- go to www.wondermagnet.com for anything relating to magnets,
including buying them.
I highly recommend them, and not only because we had so much fun pickin'
bluegrass at the last "build-your-own" wind powered generator class...
The FAQ page says that the Neodymium magnets are only stable to 266 f., but
that there is another kind designed for higher temp. applications.
