Hi,
just seen this ... looks like an interesting way to figure out HOW magnets work!
? Useful to anyone ? SMOT related ??
:)
Steve,
I saw that as well. Hope this will help to unveil the secret of TPU.

Very good experimentation and explaination.
This might not be the right place for this but I was thinking I want to get it down.
A way to look at a rod magnet is like a tube with a turbine in the middle. The turbine sucks air in one end and forces it out at the other. Now place this in a closed box and the air flow that is created is similiar to magnetic flux.
Take 2 of these and you have the same effects as 2 magnets. Repelling at the common outputs. (albeit, only output not intake) Attracting when opposite, one out is the others in. Now put them together and allow for some air to escape between where the 2 tubes are connected and you now have what is seen in the images. This is all done in a closed space to get all the air to become effected without outside interference.
The air being forced out of the end of the tube will have a spiral motion and lose pressure the further the air gets from the end of tube. In the vortex output there are also mini vortexes with in. This all sems like a macro view of the electron spins with electrons being the air.
just some thoughts.
