RESSURECTED TINMAN NEW INVENTION.

A slight decrease in gap really increased the numbers. So much so, I went over limit fast on my crappy little scale when trying 2 magnets with smaller gaps. It feels way over double with the smaller gap but I can't test it unfortunately. Certainly appears exponential to gap decrease.. Here is a recap of my numbers so far.

Four questions for clarity.

0 degrees on the graph is the point where the torque plate is centered
before the magnet or magnets, correct ?
                         so then ..
The    approach    of the torque plate, would be to the left of 0 on the graph and
should be a     mirror image     of the graph  ?
                              or
The       exit       of the torque plate, would be to the left of 0 on the graph and
should be a     mirror image     of the graph  ?
                        etither way  ?

               Very cool indeed.

I'm sorry, I wasn't real clear there. There is a few degrees of travel in which the movement of the plate shows zero pull force due to the plate being 3/4"  wide and the magnet being 1/2". Zero is set to where the tiniest movement begins to show pull force. To visualize it, it would be exactly where the two edges line up. The magnet and the plate while still being overlapped. 1 degree is beginning to pull the plate out from under the magnet.

No worries, thanks.

I think this kind of explains it better.
