these chaps have the dogs bollocks when it comes to magnets
they contend " Removing metallic particles as small as two microns is absolutely amazing, considering table salt is 100 microns, human hair is 75 microns, your average dust particle is 50 microns and a measly red blood cell is six microns. The FilterMag is impressive. Keep in mind, that as the particles become increasingly smaller, the magnetism required to attract it must be increasingly stronger. For example, the best a magnetic drain plug in your oil pan can do is 100 microns, the size of table salt. With the FilterMag, we're talking a two micron red blood cell."
ive also read the thinkgeek notes, they are the self same magnets found in hard drives... so, grab yourself some of them and start there i say

well i got my "kit" of 87 magnets - and i'm not sure that they will work or do any good - they are TINY - i'll try and get a picture of them - but ALL 87 magnets are packed in a space about as big as a tube of chapstick - i'm gonna put them on anyhow - but not sure how good they will work or hold for that matter - i'll report back in a few days once i get them installed and see how they hold up for a week or 3
