magnetic flux shielding idea

[kenbo0422]

Stefan,

I think it was the halbach array that got me thinking about the smot.  The idea of twisting the field, so to speak, to allow the magnetic influence to shift and let the ball or roller leave without any problems.

It might work.

The major problem I'm having right now is trying to mold a circular track to the rollercoaster formation of magnets I have built up. It's easy enough to build a straight track, but I need to be able to manipulate a circular track so as to experiment with height and distance between magnets.

Hi

try harden steel like a saw blade. I believe it is the harding process that does the trick.

perhaps you could consider

Sometimes, what you need can be found ready made in a scrapped
piece of equipment. Can you give any specific details of the track
you need? Presumably, the circular track MUST be non magnetic.
could it be a an hard wood? It could be turned on a wood lathe
very easily by any craft wood turner.
