One Response to Uncoupling With Super Magnets

  • Frank B says:

    What type of couplers do you have ?    What do you mean by “Super Magnets” ?  
     
     The manufacturers of magnetic coupling systems will match the strength of their magnets to the magnetic field required to operate the coupler. 
     Extra powerful magnets will not be useful, unless they are further away, such as under the baseboard.
     (However, you can get strong magnets quite cheaply and experiment to see what happens !-)
