Different Coatings
Neodymium magnets are usually coated to protect them from rusting. This is because they are made from a sintered powder containing Neodymium, Iron, Boron and small quantities of other rare earth elements. The coatings can change the appearance of the magnet drastically, but it doesn’t change the magnets properties in any other way. This photo shows a Nickel-Copper-Nickel plated … Continue reading

As the coolant expands and the pressure drops, it causes cooling of the vapour and a fan then blows over the coolant pushing cold air into the refridgeration … Continue reading

Deilvery Day Friday
For some inexplicable reason, our big deliveries always seem to turn up on a Friday, usually, at the most inconvenient time.
