the Ferrocell

Disclaimer:
Although a Ferrocell isn't an overunity device, it delivers a view of magnetism that can aid in the development of magnetically operated devices.
Software can not render a real-life picture of magnetic interactions, but a Ferrrocell can.

I chose to move the discussion here, where it seems more appropriate.

btw: I'm not trying to sell them here, only to discuss the technology...

Thank's for answer. Did you think to make a 3D version? Something like a sphere, to facilitate visualization of the magnetic field all around?

[pinestone]

Yes, I have, but I can't find a way to make a sphere within a sphere to seal the fluid equally between the two surfaces.

When you view a cell in real-life, the field is holographic and has a perceived depth. It would be cool to see that in spherical dimensions, too.

You get an idea of what it looks like in this 2-d image taken at a 30 degree angle across the cell surface compared to a computer rendering of the same thing. (the peak and valley are reversed in the graphic)

I know it's really hard to get a double layered glass sphere. Anyway, another solution would be a cubic box made of 5 squared ferrocells. This box is more easy to do, and still show the magnetic field lines in real 3D. And the holographic effect will be amazing as you move the eyes around the box!

Or another solution, would be to prepare a half or a quarter of a sphere (maybe better using some clear plastic instead of glass), place it in a vertical position in a fix point at the edge of a horizontally disc, which can be rotated at a great speed around its own center, where can be easily placed any magnet.

Maybe you already thought to these solutions, but I just want to tell about them.

Now, after many, many experiments you made, what is your opinion about the official magnetic field lines? I mean about their direction of movement and shape?

[pinestone]

I don't think of 'field lines', more like regions of flux concentrations. A Ferrocell will pass light where the flux "isn't" (the lowest potential), and appears in a different vector in relation to the location of incoming light.
Since I'm used to thinking of fields like this, it's difficult for me to have an opinion about 'textbook' field lines.

Direction? Yes. Obviously.
When a magnetic field is induced into a cell, nanoparticles move from a random mass into an orderly pattern.
The particles form groups of microscopic chains that flow only in one direction.

Shape? A dipole field at rest (no other magnets or ferro-objects around) has a spherical shape. Electromagnetic fields are perfectly shaped, but magnetic fields have irregularities.
When you introduce other fields or ferro objects, each field changes "shape" depending on each objects polarity, field strength or susceptibility.

Here's an image with a lot of info. A cylinder magnet is parallel to the cell surface and backlit with a small lamp.
You can see the bulge on the left and indent on the right (center) where the light is coming thru the mixture at the lowest field potential: http://www.ferrocell.us/images/2-anothermoebius3.jpg

I think this experiment indicates "torque" on the particles.
