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.

Another degradation path I've seen too many times for NdFeB (Neodymium "super magnets") is that they corrode and turn to powder, especially the cheap ones from the Far East. The problem seems to be that the protective plating applied is too thin to do any good. -- You received this message bec

Can anyone who has knowledge about magnets say what will happen to them over time, especially when they are near electromagnets transferring power, will they weaken and become unstable so the design will tilt or fall, and how long will it take to weaken the magnets? /Martin -- You received th

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 attr

I don't think the issue is Dalibor's tube. The issue is Single Tube vs 4 Tubes. Yes, I like the IN-8-2 Option or the ability to change between the tubes (or simply easily replace tubes as needed). Michail Wilson 206-920-6312 In a message dated 7/21/2016 11:51:10 A.M. Pacific Daylight
