I found this list and thought it was interesting!
Doing some tinkering
I used them for the Magnetraction on one of my Lionel Hudson steamers, never worked better, now holds the rail better than when new.
giving my workmates fits in the cubicle next to me by messing with their monitor when I get bored
Pulling free ions from the sparkgap of my Tesla Coil
Hold directions to my motorcycle gastank so they don't come off at 100mph
making a "buff strongman" look like a fool by not being able to separate a silly stack of magnets by pulling them directly apart
Hi! I thought you'd get a kick out of my useage of your magnets. A few months ago I ordered a stack of 12 1/2" disc magnets. I stacked them into a cylinder, and slipped them into a PVC tube. The tube was wound to 2x the length of the magnets with 3 layers of 18awg PVC coated wire. I applied a pulse discharge cap to it, at a potential of around 9kv. The spark gap (high speed switch here, sillycon can't switch the amperage) conducts and dumps the charge through the coil. I figure it's sinking around 2000+ amps for maybe 1/100000th of a second. Result? Really loud boom from the sparkgap. 18awg wire blows off half it's insulation and stretches to roughly an extra inch in diameter. The cylinder of magnets goes across the room faster than I can see, and whumps safely to a stop in a stack of pillows, rumpled sheets, and styrofoam. Very cool
I been doing this stuff for a few years, so I am very safe (2" thick wooden box encased in cargo straps around the firing coil, spark gap enclosed in plywood box, target path cleared, target is up to the impact, etc. The magnets did a *LOT* better than I expected, but the acceleration or deceleration pulled the stack apart. And the magnets got very hot (hotter than I expected) from the eddy currents induced. All in all, it was a pure hoot.

RAISE THE TITANIC
I invented a system to drasticly improve fuel milage. I stick a couple on my front bumper. When on the freeway, I accelerate - into the back of a large semi 18 wheeler. CLUNK-my car becomes attached. I then turn off my engine. Sure beats cruize control! A light tap of the brake pedal seperates me. ***THIS IS PROBABLY NOT LEGAL-AT LEAST IN MOST COUNTRIES-SO DONT TRY THIS AT HOME***
When camping-I hang my wet clothes from the van to dry, with magnets.

We plan to use to secure tools, and also in machinery.
Welding materials positioner. Also possibly to re-build a permanent magnet chuck for a surface grinder which has lost its magnetism over the years.
Science Experiments, Novelty
I will be using the magnets in my introductory psychology class. I will claim that I have the ability to move objects with the power of my pseudointeractive aura-vibe driven alternative consciousness(and a concealed magnet or two). The class will then critically analyze their observations and consider alternative hypothesis that do not defy the laws of physics. It is my optimistic hope that the students will apply what they have learned about critical thinking to this and the other pseudoscientific nonsense they encounter daily.
Remove metal debris from a well & collect scattered metal debris in my yard. (My yard used to be part of an old farm & there is old wire & misc farm implements scattered half buried on the property. Some larger items were thrown down a hand dug water well.)
