This is where i got my sphere neo mags from.  Reasonable prices and good service.  The only problem I ever had with a sphere neo is getting it started.  It has poles and you have to spin it and allow it to position it such that the poles are where you want them to be.  I tried one in a plastic tube and it spun so fast that it ate through the tube and flew across the room and might have hurt someone had they been there.

Good luck and be careful.

@Tinselkoala,

                     A sturdy PVC coupling works best as a spin chamber coil sleeve for a high speed neo sphere. The PVC coupling is practically indestructable and easy to seal. PVC couplings are made from stronger material then the pipe, and sized to fit any diameter coil core.

Tinselkoala is spinning a magnetic rotor with over 6kv of high voltage current:

Yes, I saw that video.  I can't believe that he got a pencil to spin in such a stable manner.  5,000+rpm.  Unreal.  Nice work.

I can see a few people wanting to replicate this one

Good and interesting stuff Tk.
