Uses for our Alnico Horseshoe Magnets:

An alnico horseshoe magnet is a special object. A universally recognised symbol. The horseshoe magnet is an embodiment of luck, power and mythology. These totemic members of the large, extended magnet family represent the magical power of magnetism; the human love of horses, (the horse shoe shaped like the outside a horses’ unusual looking hoof), and the allure superstition.

When presented in the classroom to demonstrate the proprieties and characteristics of magnetism, shaped in this way, horseshoe magnets resonate with the utility of real horseshoes. Real horseshoes have long been kept as a talisman, a good luck charm. Nailed to the front door of a home, horseshoes are said to repel evil spirits. Suspended inside the home, horseshoes are believed to attract, contain or shower the occupants with good fortune.

Horse shoe magnets are powerful symbols of communication. Configured in this way, like a horseshoe, these magnets fit neatly with the human hand or between the thumb and forefinger. Also, unlike other magnets, there is no doubt which direction the magnetic power is being applied. The pointed ends of the horseshoe magnet concentrate, amplify and focus the magnet’s strength.

If magnets have earned a special place in the business of the human life, it is because horseshoe magnets, our touchstone magnets, have captivated us from first contact.
