Drunken Bungle Whore

Afternoon all - thought I could pick the colective minds of NSR with these 2!

1. I have a bracelet with a magnetic clasp. The clasp has become de-magnetised. Is there any way to fix it?

2. We have a real fire and burn coal. Once the coal is burned we throw it out - but could it be recycled as fuel for the BBQ in the summer?

Many thanks!

1) Yes
2) No - but it may be usable as drainage material in clay soil.

Thanks for the yes. A "how" would be useful....?

Well you didn't ask that question

In part it depends on the type of magnet. Assuming it's a ferrous based one, repeatedlt rubbing another magnet against it should restore much of it's magnetic properties. If it's a rare earth type, it may be more difficult, in which case a visit to a jeweller to get it replaced would be the way to go.

It's more likely to be a ferrous magnet. Rare Earth such as Samarium Cobalt or Neodymium Iron Boron are dificult to magnetise/demagnetise.
