yeah, but point is more like that we do not need hard to refine ( that is why are they called rare earths ) materials from china, if those magnets were strong as neodymium ones. which they are not in video.

problem with chemistry is most of these things are easily made in garage.

For example Slovak military is training disposal of homemade explosives / chemicals by watching NurdRage videos ;)

The fact they don't have a 'buy one of our magnets now, $10' button tells me that the tech doesn't actually work.
