Would re-magnetizing be possible? I thought of doing it. Would it also make motors better like the power torque motor?

I understand that it's possible, but I've never tried it.

I'm in the middle of an experiment with a Power Torque and I intend on posting about any success that I have.

Stay tuned to this channel!

Of course re-magnetizing is possible, but the machine that does it is not a cheap one, either. It has to put out a HUGE magnetic field to do the job, and I doubt it'd be worth the investment to buy one that could do it just for a few motors. Wrapping some wire around a nail ain't gonna cut it for this job.
