I have a number of Black Widow and Scorpion magnets (half dozen of each) and need to find out how to store them in as little space as possible. Can they be stacked one on top of another perhaps with some cardboard in between them? Any other suggestions?
I will also need to change storage spaces soon and will need to transport them, so suggestions for that as well would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Store Black Widow Magnets?
Re: Store Black Widow Magnets?
The usual advice for magnets is to store them such that they are attracting rather than repelling. Now speaker magnets usually already form an almost complete magnetic circuit (apart from the air gap) when assembled, so there is not a lot you can do wrong when combining them. You'd want to avoid mechanically instable configurations anyway so you'd not look for the most repellent setups. The largest danger is likely chipping magnets when they decide to fly off.
Putting cardboard between any two will likely make it easier to separate them without things falling over.

SO you have removed them from the baskets? Leaving the gap exposed? Then whatever else you do, cover the entire gap with masking tape or similar to keep dirt and dust out
Yes, I'd also add a piece of cardboard between each. And yes do avoid chipping or cracking your magnets.

Thanks for the replies thus far.
Yes, the gaps were covered as soon as they came off the baskets.
