SUMMARY

This discussion centers on the interaction between two neodymium magnets when influenced by a reluctor wheel. The user inquires about the effects of coiling wire around magnets, specifically if spinning a reluctor in front of one magnet will boost or weaken the strength of a second magnet wired in parallel. Key points include the potential for changes in magnetic strength based on coil winding direction and the uniformity of response across the grid. The user seeks definitive answers to optimize their design before investing time and resources.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of electromagnetic induction principles

new guy here with a simple question.

if i were to coil 10 turns of 14 gauge insulated wire around an 1/8" round x 1" long neodymium magnet, then wire it in parallel to a second magnet with 20 turns of the same gauge wire, what kind of change could i exspect in the second magnet if i spun a reluctor in front of the first magnet?

im trying to boost or weaken one magnet with another...remotely

to clarify my question and give you a motive i drew up a picture.

my question is when the reluctor wheel passes past one of one magnet what kind of response will i get in the other magnet?

-will there be an increase or decrease in the other magnets strength depending on the direction of the windings in the coils?

-will there be an equal response across the grid dependent on the accuracy of each coil of course?

-could a magnetic image somehow be broadcasted from one grid to the other through the use of mercury or metal filings?

these are just a couple of the questions i want answers to. in order to build a grid i need time and money. just want to know if the answers are already out there before i waste both.
