I honestly did not know how the magnetizer/demagnetizer tool worked before starting on this video. The online answers I could find were vague (or just wrong) in explaining how it works.

So I had to do my own investigation and why not document it on video. I show some basic tests and some advanced 3D teslameter measurements. I then open the tool and finally figure it all out through a rendering in the FEMM program.

The animations in this video were unusually tedious for an amateur like me to make - but so worth it. Helped me realize how it works. And hopefully help you see it too.

I even end up showing how the tool is not needed if you just have a bar magnet!

Mystery of the Demagnetizer | What's inside? How does it work?

I have always wondered how the inexpensive magnetizer-demagnetizer tool works. What's inside it? And why are there stairs inside the demagnetizer opening? According to most sources the stairs are important, but the explanations are vague at best. In this video, I will do some investigation and open the tool to finally figure out how it really works! And show how you don't need the tool if you have a bar magnet...

Wow, so annoyingly simple! Thanks for revealing the inner secrets!

You're welcome! And yes, it is rather annoying. What the video doesn't show is how much I measured all around in the demagnetizer opening. I was looking for the 'irregular' magnetic field that so many websites claim the steps will make x) I was hoping to find some oddly shaped magnets or pole pieces made of iron inside the steps...
