Re: [neonixie-l] Re: Take a look at this....

2016-07-24 Thread Dekatron42
This fact was very interesting!

I bought a few different Neodymium magnets from Ebay when I experimented 
with the RYG10 as I didn't have a proper magnet, cheap ones from the Far 
East and they all became less magnetic in just a short time (some months). 
The Ferrite magnets I bought are still ok.

I thought that I had treated them poorly and also that my electromagnetic 
coil that I used to try to get a proper magnetic field had demagnetized 
them. Now when I check even the ones I didn't use the coil with are a lot 
weaker, so it must be poor magnets. I remember that a few cube like 
Neodymium magnets that we bought for experiments at work were a lot more 
expensive than the Far East models, so mine are probably either fake 
Neodymium magnets or of a poor manufacture.

I later used a Alnico magnet from a broken Burroughs BD-301, which works 
very well, as their magnets are stated as having almost the same magnetic 
flux as the ones that should be used for the RYG10.

Do you know how long the process of turning them into dust takes?

Correction, one can use diamagnetism (opposing ferromagnetism) to achieve 
stable, static magnetic levitation in a gravitational field. Paramagnetism 
is merely a weaker form of attraction, so it won't work. Diamagnetism is 
the opposite; diamagnetic materials weakly repel magnets rather than 
attract to them.

Earnshaw's theorem actually states that it's impossible to use static

supporting surface touching the levitating surface at some position (like a 
pole) which of course doesn't count as levitation. You have to use 
active stabilisation with electromagnets.

Just as a clarification:

1) No power required for levitation

2) Inductive power transfer, to light up the nixies, and run the clock

£35,000 is a rather modest amount to get production running. If he needs 
plastic bits, the cost of dies are a tad steep. Also getting PCBs 
assembled. I don't think he's looking at hand soldering a bunch of boards, 
with sm parts, on them.

As for a "one-off", home made project, this is now very doable. With the 
abundance of low cost rare earth magnets, expect to see a lot of levitating 
gadgets soon. If done right, you only need the magnets placed and held, so 
they make a properly shaped field. No power is required. I'm currently 
running some experiments with Royer oscillators. These seem to work quite 
well for inductive power transfer. Much better than the H-bridge, I used on 
my old "Propeller Santa II", made about 10 years ago.
