Bring Dead Ni-Cad Batteries Back To Life

I find that really interesting too.
If you can find those Neo's again it would be interesting to know if they are still the same strength.

Taking a length of wire and folding it in half and using it to wind an inductor "Bi-filar coil" is supposed to collect radiant energy.
I will have to try this. Also could be used to restore dead batteries.
But what makes a better radiant energy collector, winding this on an iron core or an air core?
Your neo experiment reminded me of this, because in a Bi-filar coil the magnetic field is canceled out.
FEG 5-34 is the reference.

@ AbbaRue:

I don't know what the relative strength of the glued neos is.  I will try to dig them out, if not, I'll glue another pair and test and see.  I don't think it is any stronger than just 2 neos magnetically stuck together and actually, it might be a little less.  It might be the same as a single neo that is not glued.  Good questions.

As far as the bifilar coils being non-electro magnets, I think that depends on how they are wound. In making the Stubblefield bifilar coils, we saw some electromagnet (self generating) characteristics of these coils during some testing we did.  I have heard what you stated about bifilar coils being just as you said.  That is why I noticed that with the Stubblefield coils there was a difference somehow.  These were iron core.

Bill,

I think your idea of viewing the field of your opposing neo's with iron fillings is great. It would be interesting to see what it looks like.
