[@brainiac75]

Great idea! I giggled when you struggled with the tools near the magnet. I know exactly how challenging that can be... You know its coming and prepare for it, but you just can't compensate for the quickly increasing strength of the magnetic field near the magnet x)

[@ColtaineCrows]

I did some work on some magnetic stuff back in the day, we had some special alloy tools which made it a lot easier. I think they were just stainless steel, but I can't remember, I remember them being expensive however.

[@kguidry7520]

@@ColtaineCrows Neodymium magnets are unbelievable compared to any of the past magnetics most of us old guys are familiar with. Every warning about pinch danger for any neodmag larger than two nickels stacked together is for real. Blood blisters for magnets the size of a quarter or a domino. Crush bone on neodmags 52 about the size of Tech Ingredients' rig here. Loose fingers and other chunks of skin on a 6" diameter magnet. The holding force is not an exaggeration. Put the weight of a refrigerator on just that finger and it's going places. DO NOT LEAVE MAGNETS of any kind where ANY KID can get to them. If they're stupid, and we're all stupid at some age, they'll swallow them. Bad enough for refrig magnets but DO NOT WAIT AROUND IF NEODYMIUM (shiny) magnets. If they swallow a bunch at one time connected, they might pass them in the poo but still straight to hospital. If they pop them in their mouth like popcorn, they're going to end up in surgery immediately. (muscular distortion of intestinal wall > huge shear vectors where pinned by neodymium pair or cluster). All that said, they are fantastic to try out ideas that weren't effective back in the day (It took me a few nips to forget the old-magnet mindset - scary these are) that may show noticeable efficiency now. There is more to magnetic resonance than we understand. Just like hitting a certain note in a bathroom, oscillating magnetic fields need a rethink toward new materials and methods. Supercapacitors able to be quick fed transient and anomalous emfs that are now wasted can add up harvested. Much of our math on efficiency relies on the permeability of the magnetic and reluctance of alter-magnetic materials which are derived in non-combined standard lab replications. Experimentation is happening because magnetic power and energy storage options are available. The gold standard is electric flying. Power/Weight ratio can be offset by unconventional efficiency schemes using short burst hot and long term simmer power management. Great time to be alive and curious in these things. Great FREE resources like this guy here. The Bedini wheel as explained and demonstrated by Great Scott showed some interesting strangeness in the results but only because he can diagram and explain his fabrication and then measure and reason on the results. Might be worth replicating his effort. Hate to encourage the lunatic fringe and I've seen the "free energy" videos til I'm sick but it was a surprising outcome and those are always happy accidents.

[@lloydevans2900]

Amazing that you can make a relatively uniform magnetic field with almost a whole 1 Tesla of field strength. The strongest magnets I ever used were 3 Tesla, and those were liquid-helium cooled superconducting magnets in a Bruker Spectrospin 300 MHz NMR machine about 15 years ago. Go back about 40 or 50 years, and 1 Tesla would probably have been enough to do some basic low-field NMR experiments. If those super-strength rare-earth magnets had existed then, I'm sure they would have been used for that! Of course the added problem with NMR is that the field strength around the RF probe (which is where the sample-tube goes as well) has to be ABSOLUTELY UNIFORM - no variation at all. NMR instruments typically do this with secondary electromagnet coils called shim-coils, in which the current is adjusted to even out the field strength. In the early days this was done manually while keeping your eye on the field-sensors, but this utter tedium was eventually taken over by a computer, which could do the adjustments much faster. I wonder if there would be a way of combining the permanent magnet array you show here with a bank of electromagnetic shim coils to make a perfectly uniform field? A standard NMR sample tube is only 5 millimetres wide (with a 40 millimetre sample depth), so the cross sectional area over which the field needs to be uniform is fairly small. If you could do this, you would be on your way to making the core of a home-made NMR instrument. Minus all the RF transmitters, receivers and amplifiers of course, which are a whole other headache.....

I used to work at a transformer company and they used sheets of high-silicon steel which were layered together to make a laminated core. Apparently it allows a higher magnetic flux density than solid steel. However I can see that working with sheet steel edge-on to a powerful permanent magnet is a recipe for truncated fingers, so your wound coil idea is interesting.

[@kreynolds1123]

@@robbiejames1540 if you change the current in a coil, it creates a changing magnetic field. That changing magnetic fiend induces a current in a conductive metal neat by. The currents in the metal create their own magnetic field in opposition to the initial magnetic field that induced the current. The result is a repulsive force pushing the conductor away. A Pulsed induction thruster uses a coil to ionizes a gas for a working fluid to use for a thruster to genetate an intense and rapidly changing magnetic field. once the gas is a plasma the changing magnetic field from the coil induces a current in the plasma and that current in the plasma makes its own magnetic field opposing the magnetic field in the coil thus pushing plasma away at a high speed for thrust. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulsed_inductive_thruster

[@TechIngredients]

Copper is not ferromagnetic and neither is aluminum. Although this wrapped magnet looks something like a transformer, the wire serves a completely different function. The wire in a transformer guides the electron flow and it is these electrons that generate the magnetic field. This steel wire guides the magnetic field which is generated by the permanent magnets in the center.

How about using steel ribbon instead of wire? I'd imagine it would be more expensive, but it could be easier to wrap and far more uniform.

[@realcygnus]

Good Idea, even though he did say its only the cross section that is significant. But there would probably be some increase. That's basically a packing problem. Like you said it probably wouldn't be worth the cost for the few percent(if that) increase unless you had some laying around. Or perhaps even just cut long strips of sheet metal.

[@miklov]

My intuition (which is likely to be completely wrong) makes me think that two opposing C-shapes out of steel ribbon would be even better as guides but it would not be as practical to build, especially not in a continuous additive process.

[@TechIngredients]

The ribbon would work, the result would be more compact, the ultimate performance would be the same and the cost would have been higher

[@sylvainduteau9780]

Clem Taylor agree! cold rolled steel wrapping around as used in low frequency transformer style would increase permeability which could increase the inner flux( my thought).

You made my evening scienterrific, thanks.

[@zacharychristy8928]

Awesome content! Seems like this is definitely the best solution if you're prioritizing adjustability in weight and field strength along with ease of manufacturing! I had a thought about the cross-sectional area of the wire wrap. Given that circles have a maximum packing density of about 91% (probably closer to 80% in the case of hand-wound wire), and the field density seems to fall off with the inverse square of the distance to the surface of the magnet (correct me if I'm wrong on that), couldn't you get the same strength from a solid steel enclosure that only had ~60-80% the mass of the wire? Or why not combine them both? Make a thin (say, 1/4" thick) steel enclosure out of rectangular bar stock close to the surface of the magnet where you get the most "bang for your buck" (i.e. field density per unit mass of steel) and wrap steel wire around that enclosure to get the benefits of the wire? Just a thought! You understand your application far better than I do. Thanks again!
