FLUX RESONATOR

[rensseak]

It reveals flux in 3-D instead of 2-D.  Also, I think in color instead of black and white?

How can it do this, if the 'flux resonator' itself is a disc shaped object and thus only is a 2D cross section through the 3D field

Don't get me wrong, it looks really nice, but I doubt that it gives more information than the viewing film. If it really produces a hologramm (hence the colors), then it gives you a spatial fourier transformation of the field that is even harder to interpret than the green shades of the film.

However, a nice but very expensive toy.

much cheaper is it to do this experiments with an old CTR. take a look here:

Not only is the field visible as a 3-d hologram, but there is much more detail than viewing film can render.
And as mentioned earler in this thread, this lens affords the ability to see the changes in real-time without image retention.
Would a side-by-side comparison of viewing film and the resonator be something worth putting on the site?
You can't see electron spin with any other passive device. Take a closer look at the moebius on the first webpage-
The electrons are moving into the lens from the right, and leaving the lens on the left. See the shadows? The peak? The valleys?
I'd love to make these things cheaper, but high quality glass is expensive. Plastic doesn't work very well and it scratches easily.

I agree with you concerning the film. Im just not so shure how to interpret the image. Since you say it is a hologram, I guess it has something to do with microstructural changes. Holograms have a periodic grid. So the actual information in a hologram is a set of spatial (flat, 2D) superimposed frequencies, while the 3D image is just a illusion.

So what is the fundamental principle of this device, if it creates a hologram ? What is the grid made of and how is it manipulated by the magnetic field ? "It shows the electron spin" is a little bit to vague for me. Is it sensitive to polarized light ? Does it cause field strength dependent phase shifting ? Does it require monochromatic light (to obtain a real information) ?

The electrons are moving into the lens from the right, and leaving the lens on the left.

this would result in a 1D (fence like) optical grid, thus the observed image would be 1D too. Since the image is 2D, the grid must be 2D too. 

Don't get me wrong. I find this thing very interesting. I'm just curious about what it really does.

The holographic image is created by these three phenomenon occuring simultaneously: Light waves from the source pass through the first glass plate, the nano-matter mixture and the second glass plate. These are the "reference waves" that are NOT affected by the magnetic field.
Areas where the magnetic field is present, result in a phase shift (Faraday rotation) of the source waves, creating object waves.
The transmittance and refractive properties of the mixture while "under the influence" of magnetism contribute to the generation of interference waves. These three wavesets combine to produce a holographic image, apparently in space- between the source of light and the observer.
If you look at the image gallery (http://www.magnetostatics.us/photo.htm) look at the first column on the left, third image down and you can plainly see the three dimensional wave of flux. That's my finger holding a cylinder magnet (encased in shrink tubing) next to the light and behind the lens.

Thanks. I already guessed this. So it is sort of a counterpart to ZnTe, which does a phaseshift by the electric field component ?
