How does a car scrap heap magnet work?
Scrap Heap MagnetUsually the kind of magnet a junkyard uses is an electromagnet. An electromagnet is simply an iron core wrapped around by copper wire. Then current runs through the wire, it becomes a very strong magnet. There are other types, but I think electromagnet is the most common for car scrap heap.
What is a scrap metal drive?
It's an effort to recycle metal objects that aren't good for anything anymore. Scrap metal drives are important because it is easy to reuse metal rather than throw it away because it's so durable. Scrap metal drives were the earliest efforts at recycling.
What do magnets do in a scrap yard?
They are attached to cranes and are used to lift up heaps of scrap metal
What is an advantage of using an electromagnet over a permanent magnet?
The advantage of an elecromagnet is that you can turn it on and off with a simple switch. So for example if you want to pick up a scrap car with a crane/electromagnet and move it, you can turn the electromagnet off when you want to release the car. You could not do the with a permanent magnet obviously.
What can move on a scrap heap magnet?
well basically anthing that is made out of metal and steel, will move on a scrap heap magnet.
What metals does an electromagnet in a scrap heap attract?
A scrap heap magnet is an electromagnet, therefore whilst it is on, it can attract any magnets and metal objects with any Nickel, Cobalt and Gadolinium in them. Hope that answered your question ^.^
How does an electromagnet sort scrap?
the magnet picks up only certain kinds of metal, pulling magnetic from non magnetic metal
What are the benefits of recycling metals?
It brings in scrap metal into the environment.It can be reused as something else. E.g an electromagnet.
What is a scrap yard magnet?
It is a magnet which moves metal around the scrap yard. Scientific explanation = It s a big round magnet which is actually an electromagnet. This allows the magnet to be turned on then off. When turned on the electromagnet attracts any magnetic substances. This is why most cars are made of something magnetic! You can move this electromagnet around because it is a crane you pick stuff up move it and then drop it by turning the electromagnet off!
Where are electromagnets used in industry?
An electromagnet is used in an electrical engine, but an electrical engine contains normal magnets too.
What is elecotromagnet?
An electromagnet - is essentially a metal 'core' encased in wire. When power is applied to the wire, the core becomes magnetic - when the power is turned off, the magnetism is lost. Think along the lines of a crane in a scrap-yard. The crane has an electromagnet attached to its lifting arm. The operator switches on the magnet to lift a load of scrap metal, and switches it off to drop the load.

What happens to pieces of aluminum in a pile of scrap metal when an electromagnet nears the pile?
If the aluminum has iron attached to it it will be picked up by the magnet otherwise it will remain on the ground.
How does a scrap heap electromagnet help with recycling?
It very efficiently separates ferrous from non-ferrous scrap.
What are scrap metal selling for a pound?
There are many types of scrap metals. There are ferrous scrap metals and there are non ferrous scrap metals as well as precious metal scrap and exotic metal scrap. Each type of scrap metal sells for a different price per pound. Also depending on the grade of the scrap metal (prepared, unprepared, stripped, etc.) and your location in the world, the price of scrap metal will vary. Supply and demand also dictates the price of scrap.
What does chatarra el baston mean?
My guess is that you have the words arranged incorrectly. "Chatarra" is like scrap metal, and "bastón" is a cane. Él bastón chatarra would mean "the metal cane" (implying that the metal is scrap metal.)
What does a circuit diagram for a scrap heap magnet looks like?
The cicuit at first is all conected when it is turned on then the person driving the machine will turn the engine off and the circuit will disconnect causeing the magnet not to keep hold of the metal.
