SUMMARY
The discussion centers on creating an exterior magnetic field using a neodymium permanent magnet setup in a Halbach Array configuration. The user aims to induce electron flow in a closed loop coil by generating a changing magnetic field, as a constant rotating field will not suffice. Participants clarify that while the Halbach Array can enhance the magnetic field on one side, the external field produced will be minimal due to the nature of toroidal solenoids and the opposing forces generated by the coil windings. The consensus indicates that achieving a significant external magnetic field with the proposed design is unlikely.
