Is an electric can opener an electromagnet?

Absolutely, there are multiple magnets with several copper coil rolls with metal weights that let it spin by being pushed with your houses 120.

Take that same motor, say you find a decent one that no longer works... Keep the plug and wire, the extra wire inside, the motor and everything attached to it as well as the blades (hope there's room for the last part) and a couple of 12V (NOT CHEAP OR TINY, VERY IMPORTANT THAT THE CCA ARE HIGH) batteries.

You can take it all apart and make an ACTUAL electromagnet and apply the right power to it to bring metal flying towards it, or do something special like making an object float in mid air with your DIY project and turn around and make some money off nothing but that motor, included power supply and whatever light object you choose.

Maybe a 3D printed lithophane (cube, sphere etc. whatever you choose and have it slowly (or quickly) spin while hovering in mid air)!

That part depends on the strength of the copper coils, grade of copper (use grade 1 obviously), strength of the magnets (rare earth are very strong and more expensive because of it) and with about 30 minutes work and assuming you have a broken (or not, if you don't mind breaking one) can opener, then in 30 minutes you will be done.

Lithophanes and globes/planets/moon are all very popular and you can make a ton of money off of them or just make great gifts. Google LITHOPHANE if you haven't seen them. People online charge $400 for something you can do for $40 or less, potentially $5 if you already have extra pieces of 5V (or 12V, but it's more expensive and complex) power supplies, you shouldn't use them with just direct power, which is where a good can opener comes in, it's still regulated. If it's something small, you don't need anything extra at all really...

You didn't ask about that part and it's been awhile since it was asked, but I thought I would share something you could do with them!

So something like this is very basic, now imagine it being something cooler, like a bunch of pictures lit up and spinning.

It will only attach one image, so I'm going to go with this one, the rights aren't mine, but they are attached to the image. This is something very basic that you can do with these magnets though!

Where was the can opener first made?

In 1858, Ezra Warner patented his design for a can opener in America. Tin cans were first invented around 1810 but these cans were very thick and needed hammers and chisels to open. Later in the 19th century, cans became more thin like they are today. I got my information from Wikipedia.

How do you remove the buildup of calcium on your kitchen utensils?

Calcium can be dissolved by white vinegar. It works best to soak the buildup in full strength white vinegar, but if you have to spray it on and let it soak, that works pretty well, too.

Is there lead in flatware made in Vietnam?

Yes. Definetly. I don't believe it is tested in most of the silverware sold in the United States. I did however find a knife filet set which was made in china. This knife set actually had "contains lead which is known to cause birth defects in the state of California." in very small print on the back of the package. I believe the chinese use higher concentrations of lead in their industrial process to produce stainless steel. It is cheaper and they can make more money. In addition, they can also poison us and decrease the intelligence of future generations in the USA. It's just an added bonus for them. I couldn't help the sarcasm -actually it's very sad but nevertheless true. The BIG question here is WHY are we letting them poision us and our future? The lead is present in everything from children's toys, to lipstick, silverware, to purses (as recently reported). Has anyone looked at the food we are importing from China?

Is a wall mounted bottle opener a third class lever?

Hinge is a joint. It is designed to join two 'arms' together while letting them move freely. A lever is when a pivot, load, effort is present. Although hinge itself is not a lever, but taking our biceps as an example, that would be a Class 3 lever
