AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around building a Tesla turbine that requires neodymium magnets, which the user is struggling to find. Alternatives to neodymium magnets are suggested, including the option to use glue and various spacers instead. The user expresses a preference against purchasing items online. There is a mention of ads for neodymium magnets appearing on the webpage. The conversation highlights the flexibility in materials for constructing the turbine.

I'm trying to build a tesla turbine. I'm trying to follow the instructions here. However, the turbine calls for neodymium magnets, which I can't seem to find. Would other magnets work?

You don't really need magnets at all - you can just glue them together, using just about anything for a spacer.
 
I'm having ads for neodymium magnets on this very webpage.
 
@russ watters - Ah. I see. Thank you very much.
@Dr Lots-o'watts - Thank you, but I prefer not to buy things over the internet.
 

Thread 'Maxwell stress tensor'

This is from Griffiths' Electrodynamics, 3rd edition, page 352. I am trying to calculate the divergence of the Maxwell stress tensor. The tensor is given as ##T_{ij} =\epsilon_0 (E_iE_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij} E^2)+\frac 1 {\mu_0}(B_iB_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij} B^2)##. To make things easier, I just want to focus on the part with the electrical field, i.e. I want to find the divergence of ##E_{ij}=E_iE_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij}E^2##. In matrix form, this tensor should look like this...

Thread 'Applying the Gauss (1835) formula for force between 2 parallel DC currents'

Please can anyone either:- (1) point me to a derivation of the perpendicular force (Fy) between two very long parallel wires carrying steady currents utilising the formula of Gauss for the force F along the line r between 2 charges? Or alternatively (2) point out where I have gone wrong in my method? I am having problems with calculating the direction and magnitude of the force as expected from modern (Biot-Savart-Maxwell-Lorentz) formula. Here is my method and results so far:- This...
