Coded magnet videos
Seeing beats reading for magnetism. These authoritative demonstrations from the makers of Polymagnet show the core coded-magnet behaviors - attach, align, latch, and spring - in motion.
Attach Polymagnet Animation
Animation of an attach code: matching patterns aligned face-to-face pull together, often with greater hold force than a conventional magnet of the same size.

Animation of self-alignment: the correlation peak drags an off-center pair into one exact centered, rotational, and lateral position.
Source: Polymagnet (Correlated Magnetics Research) · watch on YouTubeSpring Polymagnet Animation
Animation of a spring code: the pair rests at a defined gap, repels when pushed together, and attracts when pulled apart - a contactless magnetic spring.

A walk-through of the demonstration kit that showcases the range of Polymagnet functions - a good feel for how coded pairs behave in the hand.

A hands-on demo combining attach, align, latch, and spring behaviors in one part to show how much can be programmed into a single coded magnet.
