degausses
Neutralizes magnetic charge
Degausses is the verb form of degauss, meaning to remove unwanted magnetic fields from something.
The term comes from the gauss, a unit of magnetic measurement.
Technicians degauss CRT monitors to correct color distortion, and ships are degaussed to avoid triggering magnetic mines.
More broadly, to degauss can mean to erase magnetically stored data: The agency degausses old hard drives before disposal.
