I hope I am posing this question concerning the characteristics of magnetic properties using proper terminology. My apologies up front if not.
The following two questions are related to each other: (1) Does anyone know how fast magnetic viscosity on average tends to propagate (or cycle) through various kinds of permanent magnetic material? Hundredths of a second? Milliseconds? Microseconds? Faster or slower??? (2) Is it theoretically possible to generate a viscosity induced HARMONIC frequency in a permanent magnet. I'm speculating on whether an amplified harmonic effect could be generated by a carefully applied external frequency, such as an external EM field set to a specific frequency, or perhaps through an assembly of rapidly spinning permanent magnets such as one finds in a spinning wheel. I'm speculating on whether it's possible if certain externally induced EM frequencies might enhance the viscotic migratory effect within certain permanent magnet materials. It's analogous to how lasers produce light through a buildup of specific EM harmonic frequencies within the crystal that ultimately produces a strong coherent beam of light. PERSONAL THOUGHTS: If specific harmonic magnetic viscosity fields can be "enhanced" or possibly amplified within certain PM materials the implications could be interesting. One of the reason's I'm posing this question in Vortex is that there are various You-tube videos I've seen out in the public domain that hint (at least to me) of the possibility that the user may have accidentally stumbled across for a brief period of time just the right magnetic viscosity induced frequency that caused their magnetic assembly/contraption to spin up for a few brief dramatic seconds. However, because they really don't know what they are doing it's all very unstable and soon the assembly eventually gets out-of-phase, harmonically speaking, causing the assembly to grind to a halt. >From what I can tell, visually speaking, I don't think the sudden rotational increase is due to an unconscious manual "pumping" of the PMs introduced (unintentionally) into the configuration by the user. The "spinning" I've seen occurs where the user is no longer manually influencing the configuration. The contraption is spinning freely on its own for a few brief seconds. Of course, this is all just conjecture on my part. Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
