Guys thank you all very much for your input, despite the little information I was able to provide, as correctly observed. I will need some time to study through your comments and will get back to you for an update for anyone interested.
Once again, thank you all for the contribution. It's...
Having a vague idea, I'd say a few thousand dollars, but this would have to be distributed to the entire scale of the project as well. Being in such an early stage, the building limitations and the cost of such electromagnets seem to me to be the main factors that will dictate scale and budget...
As funny as this might sound, it is not yet decided. To be frank, currently this is me trying to get the general picture of the limitations of electromagnets for such a project, so as to scale it up or down for an art project of mine. And by art, I kinda mean that the budget is to be dictated...
That is a great idea! I was so far considering the rods being made of the ferrous material. I could definitely profit from an elastic material for the bending and ferrous tips (such as the suggested balls) for the magnetic force. Thank you very much for this idea, greatly appreciated!
Thank you for your reply. Of course you are right. I would ideally like a displacement of ~20-30cm from resting axis for the tip of the rods. Please allow me to add once more that I am still looking for the material to be used for this rod and I am, of course, looking for materials with a...
Thank you very much for your response berkeman.
I am afraid that motion through mechanical means is not an option for this project. However, I need to ask, do you find it impractical or impossible? As I mentioned in my first post, it is not an industrial type of project, so the only limitation...
Hello guys. I am new member of this forum and I am looking for some guidance on a certain project.
Now, the reason I am posting is that I need your help with a project I am currently just starting and of which unfortunately I have little details figured out as well, so please bear with me if you...
