	What is degauss? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary
		You can also use an external degausser that degausses the monitor from the outside.
		Since it may be impossible to remove the external magnetic force, degaussing works by re-aligning the magnetic fields inside the CRT to compensate for the external magnetism.
		You can also degauss magnetic media, such as disks, which removes all data from the media.

		Degaussing should be the first thing attempted whenever color purity problems are detected.
		If an AC degaussing coil or substitute is unavailable, I have even degaussed with a permanent magnet but this is not recommended since it is more likely to make the problem worse than better.

	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Degauss (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Degaussing, named after the German scientist Carl Friedrich Gauss, is the process of removing permanent magnetism (magnetic hysteresis) from an object.
		A degauss causes a magnetic field inside the device to oscillate rapidly, with decreasing amplitude.
		Then, either the current is gradually reduced (for internal degaussing coils), or the degaussing coil is slowly pulled away from the screen (for external degaussing coils), until the degaussing is complete.

	Degaussing Magnetic Media Recording Oersted Particles Field
		Degaussing is used for security purposes, to conform to privacy laws and to reuse the media.
		The process of degaussing is achieved by passing the magnet media through a powerful alternating magnet field to rearrange the magnetization of the magnetic particles, completely removing any resemblance of the previously recorded signal.
		Degaussers are constructed in such a way as to enable the generated magnetic field cover the entire magnet media when it is transported through it, either by physically holding the media by hand and moving it through the field or automatically conveyed by a belt transporter.

		The field strength and the orientation of the degaussing field need to be able to penetrate the aluminum housing of the hard drive and be strong enough to reverse the polarity of the high coercivity magnetic particles on the disk platters.
		Therefore, it should be part of your computer policy to degauss all hard drives before returning the hard drives for warranty repair, before donating to charity, before transferring your computer to another department or before disposal of the computer.
		Degaussing magnetically erases all of the information contained on the disc platters, thereby making the hard drive safe for disposal.

	Why Degauss Your Media
		In order to degauss magnetic media, a magnetic force (gauss) of 2 to 3 times greater than the media to be degaussed must be created.
		Media is degaussed because there is either some laws on the books that requires that media be degaussed or you simply want to reuse it.
		Consider the sensitivity of the data to be degaussed; the frequency of degaussing; the laws relative to the destruction of records and then choose the proper degausser for the job to be done.

	degauss magnet: Erase hard drive, Degaussers, Degaussing Equipment and Services - degauss magnet
		Degaussing is a process where magnetic media is exposed to a powerful, alternating magnetic field.
		The degausser must subject the media to an alternating magnetic field of sufficient intensity to saturate the media and then by slowly withdrawing or reducing the field, the magnetic media is left in a magnetically neutral state.
		To erase recorded data, it is necessary for the strength of the degaussing field to be greater in value than the coercivity of the magnetic media.

		The process of degauss is by alternatively magnetize an ferromagnetic crystal and reversing polarity in an decreasing sequence like +10 -10 +9 -9 etc. The net sum will be close to zero if done properly.
		The degauss process /will/ shake the magnetite crystals, one proposed theory of biological hazards from magnetic fields says that the field is shaking the crystals so hard cell damage occurs.
		The though of degaussing in macroscopic fixed systems cannot easily be transferred into microscopic systems in the human body, especially in fluids.
