If you sell your junk cars for cash, do you think you will be paid fairly?

If a car is junk, it is likely not worthy of being repaired for the purpose of driving due to the fact that it would cost too much to make the vehicle road worthy. We have sold junk cars for cash before, and basically they are buying it for parts. We have received anywhere from $50 to $200 for our junk cars, and I was pleased that we were able to get something for them.

How does the electromagnet work?

In layman's terms; a magnet has a natural magnetic field around it. This field interacts with iron based materials, like steel (but not stainless steel, or aluminum) and when a piece of steel is adjacent to the magnet's attractive pole, they stick together. When current (electricity) flows through a conductor (piece of wire) a magnetic field is produced, similar to a regular magnet. If a piece of wire (with current flowing through) is wrapped around a magnet, the Electromagnetic field that occurs around the wire joins and strengthens the magnetic field of the magnet, thus strengthening the overall magnetism. So when you see a crane picking up and dropping junk cars, they are simply turning on & off the flow of electricity through the coils of wire wrapped around the magnet doing the work.
