A rotating magnetic field. Does any one know how this is done?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the construction and testing of a rotating magnetic field device called Tracmag, with the user expressing a desire to understand whether it operates on AC or DC power. The user has requested to purchase a Tracmag for experimentation and is seeking additional resources beyond the eight videos available, as they prefer not to watch YouTube at work. There is an emphasis on the need for clarity regarding the device's power source to facilitate DIY construction. The user is also looking for alternative web links that might provide more information on flux field manipulation. Overall, the conversation highlights a quest for knowledge on the mechanics and practical application of the rotating magnetic field.

He also has seven other videos entitled Tracmag#2, Tracmag#3 and so on. I've put in a request to purchase a Tracmag for the intention of testing the rotating magnetic field. Since the maker of the devise has not revealed that it has an AC source or DC, I would appreciate your input, it is however my hope that the set up is DC.

Thanks to anyone that can clear this up for me. I'd like to be able to construct one myself. If it's no too much to ask, watch all 8 videos since different aspects are shown in each clip.

Thanks again

I'm not inclined to watch YouTube videos at work. Do you have any other web links to the information?
 
No I can't say there is another link that features this apparent rotating magnetic field. Thanks for your reply though. I'll see if I can find another site that features this type of, apparent, flux field manipulation.
 
I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'
Hi Guys We are a bunch a mechanical engineers trying to build a simple electromagnet. Our design is based on a very similar magnet. However, our version is about 10 times less magnetic and we are wondering why. Our coil has exactly same length, same number of layers and turns. What is possibly wrong? PIN and bracket are made of iron and are in electrical contact, exactly like the reference design. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. edit: even same wire diameter and coil was wounded by a...
Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'
Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
