Definition of degauss in English: degaussverb diːˈɡaʊsdiˈɡaʊs [with object]1often as noun degaussingElectronics
Remove unwanted magnetism from (a television or monitor) in order to correct colour disturbance. Example sentencesExamples - I was degaussing it by moving it through a static magnetic field.
- It could be that the screen is magnetized and need to be degaussed by a service technician.
- But if you degauss a hard disk, you can never use it again.
- Closest thing a programmer has been to a rave is the last time they degaussed their monitor.

2historical Neutralize the magnetic field of (a ship) by encircling it with a conductor carrying electric currents. Example sentencesExamples - The most effective counter-measure was degaussing which obliterated the magnetic field of a steel hull.
- The ship's degaussing is made up of 25 coils for the ship's structure as a whole and local coils for specific items of equipment.
- There was also a degaussing station attached to the establishment, and after the war until 1962 it was used as a Sea Cadet training centre and an Admiralty store.
- The first part of the experiment took place in 1943 when a powerful electromagnetic field was used to degauss the ship without any damage to electronic equipment on board.
- The size arrangement and location of the degaussing coils are based on finite element modelling of the ship structure and major equipment fits.
Derivatives noun Devices known as ‘degaussers’ are routinely used for this purpose. Example sentencesExamples - On a DLT tape with 80GB of compressed data, an industrial strength degausser must be employed.
- Please contact us to purchase all types of media degaussers, from hand-held models for low security data to high end security degaussers for high sensitivity magnetic media.
- On top of that, most degaussers use external power supplies and must power down between each degaussing, slowing up the destruction process.
