At Sprain, we use a gauss meter. You can buy one: http://www.lessemf.com/gauss.html or build one: http://www.coolmagnetman.com/magmeter.htm You can also use a simple weight scale. Place the magnet near a degaussed soft iron mass and measure the pull from the magnet with the scale at a given distance. BTW, when used in the attractive mode, we have actually seen the field strength increase over time. Terry On 7/14/07, Hoyt A.
