Can Rotating Magnets Create a Stronger Magnetic Field?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion centers on the effects of rotating neodymium magnets at extremely high speeds, specifically 1,000,000 RPM. Participants express concerns about the structural integrity of the magnets at such velocities, noting that material stress and strain may pose greater risks than the magnetic field interactions. The conversation also touches on the concept of spatial persistence of magnetic fields and the potential attraction or repulsion between rotating magnets. References to YIG oscillators and historical records of RPM are included to provide context.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of neodymium magnet properties and specifications
  • Knowledge of rotational dynamics and material stress
  • Familiarity with magnetic field theory
  • Basic principles of oscillators, particularly YIG oscillators
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the structural limits of neodymium magnets at high RPMs
  • Explore the concept of magnetic field spatial persistence
  • Investigate the behavior of magnetic fields in rotating systems
  • Learn about YIG oscillators and their applications in high-speed environments
USEFUL FOR

Physics enthusiasts, engineers working with magnetic systems, and researchers interested in high-speed magnet applications will benefit from this discussion.

hello, i have a doubt

i bought some small neodimium magnets 8x3mm
and now i would like to try some experiments with them

i have a doubt:
if i rotate one of these magnet around one of its parallel axis, very fast , near 1000000 rpm,
what happens to the magnetic field produced by the magnet?
if i bring another identical magnet near this rotating magnet, the magnet will be attracted or repelled?

if instead i mount two magnets on two opposite sides of a 1000000 rpm rotating wheel, what kind of 'resulting magnetic field' i will get?

does the magnetic field have 'a spatial persistence', i.e. does it change immediately as soon as the object is moved, or not? does this depend on the distance from the object?

sorry for the many questions, :)
thank you!

so what do you think ?
what reading have you done so far?

Will the magnet material stay intact at those speeds? This sounds dangerous. I don’t think that you should worry about the magnetic fields as much as the material stress and strain and strength.

I think 1 million rpm was a world record only 10 years ago.

Link? It must have been a pretty small magnet! :smile:

I'm reminded of YIG oscillators... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YIG_sphere
 
Thread 'Colors in a plasma globe'
I have a common plasma globe with blue streamers and orange pads at both ends. The orange light is emitted by neon and the blue light is presumably emitted by argon and xenon. Why are the streamers blue while the pads at both ends are orange? A plasma globe's electric field is strong near the central electrode, decreasing with distance, so I would not expect the orange color at both ends.
