Pamene kusintha kwamakono kudyetsedwa mu phokoso, maginito amakhala electromagnet. Mayendedwe apano amasintha mosalekeza, ndipo maginito amagetsi amangoyendayenda mmbuyo ndi mtsogolo chifukwa cha "kusuntha kwamphamvu kwa waya wopatsa mphamvu mu gawo la maginito", ndikuyendetsa beseni la pepala kuti ligwedezeke mmbuyo ndi mtsogolo. Stereo ili ndi mawu.
Maginito omwe ali panyanga makamaka amaphatikiza maginito a ferrite ndi maginito a NdFeB. Malinga ndi pulogalamuyi, maginito a NdFeB amagwiritsidwa ntchito kwambiri pazinthu zamagetsi, monga ma hard disks, mafoni am'manja, mahedifoni ndi zida zoyendetsedwa ndi batire. Phokosoli ndi lalikulu.
