    Closed loop vs open loop resistance magnet drop demo

    No, I was just a passer by, I had no oppertunity to ask. I understand that the magnetic field behaves much like when you run your open hand though water, there is a resistance felt. An open loop would be very much like the copper tube, magnetic field going through copper. I suspect that a...

    Closed loop vs open loop resistance magnet drop demo

    Hello everyone, curious about something here. I saw a demonstration lately were a magnet was dropped down a copper pipe and the magnet dropped very much slower than expected. What I got to thinking was, if you replaced the copper pipe with the same quantity of insulated copper wire in a...

    Current discharge re capacitors

    After posting the previous question I was redirected to the forums capacitor page to find that DC current will only charge the capacitor to its maximum and effectivly close the circuit letting the DC current flow through. To clarify the magnet essembly is mounted inside the coil on a shaft that...

    Current discharge re capacitors

    Hello everyone, I know this may be a very elementary question but I'm not an EE or have access to one other that this forum. I've been reading up on capacitors and so far I'm not able to decipher if a cap will discharge only if the capacitor has reached its maximum capacity. I would think...

    What is the Hall Sensor IC and how does it detect North and South poles?

    Hello everyone, I've been looking for an IC that can detect a North pole and/or a South pole. I know that there are pens or wands that can do this but what is it in the wand that detects either pole. I'm working on a spining magnet flywheel essembly that has an array of north oriented magnets...

    Electromagnetic particle collector?

    Go to Images in Google search and type in 'magnetite collector rod'. Look for something that resembles a 1/2" PVC pipe inside a 3/4"PVC pipe with a rubber collor at one end. I've found that this workds very well, very mobile and you won't need any power.

    Dynabee/powerball wrist exerciser terminology

    Thanks to the many readers that have read my post. As I mentioned previous "untill I"m corrected". An even more accurate term is "Larmor precession". When an electron spin domain is induced/torqued by an electromagnetic field, it causes the domain to flip , if I understand this correctly...

    Dynabee/powerball wrist exerciser terminology

    Well this post has been up for a little while now and since then I've found several patents describing the Dynabee dynamics and nowhere is a simple term or terms that describes the principal involved. But in my search I did come across induced electron spin that resembles this what I'm looking...

    Dynabee/powerball wrist exerciser terminology

    Good day, and thanks for having me on you forum. I’ve been searching the web for the terminology used to explain the principal involved that causes the Dynabee/powerball wrist exerciser, rotor center pin to rotate in an opposite direction, relative to each end of the center pin. I understand...
