It is possible many componies make them buckyballs neocube magneticballs and many more I have tried contacting them they don‘t answer me I am using steel which is magnetic I have tried rubbing it on a magnet same direction putting in a solenoid and put electricity through it I have distacharge a 300 capacitor through it and a wire wrapped it and none of them work I know Bucky balls turn natural magnet into a ball and then electrify it and turn it back into a magnet so I beg you how do you turn a steel ball into a magnet
Patricia, I answered your previous question on this subject. If you had the right material it should have worked. I have remangnetized dozens of magnets. They were made of Alnico, an alloy . 1. Are the balls of a truly permanent magnet material? Regular steel will not work, but tempered steel will, although there are better materials. 2. How did you charge the capacitors? At what voltage? Power source? The discharge must be sudden, use a big switch. 3. Depending on the material, some magnets may loose some of their force over time. Heat, strikes and pulling appart will demagnetize them. 4. Consult with a supplier of magnetic material. Rubbing will not work. Also, what is this bucky ball phenomenon? There are magnetized toy marbles. Perhaps you are better off with with those. .
You have not said what material your ball is made from. The best magnets are not made from any old steel and then magnetised because that would not make permanent magnets. Most quality magnets are made from rare earth minerals like Neodymium. The much cheaper more common ferromagnetic metal magnets are produced by heating the object above its Curie temperature, allowing it to cool in a magnetic field and hammering it as it cools.
