Sweet and Manelas devices

[Smudge]

I have removed all the posts concerning Chris's remarks on conditioning and levitation, as this is a distraction from the subject at hand.  I am pleased that Whoopy has replicated the same levitation feature that Ahern did, it is easily explained from the field pattern and has nothing to do with the how the Sweet or Manelas devices worked.  If someone else wishes to make use of this feature then please create another thread devoted to that subject.

Here is a paper I wrote 4 years ago suggesting that surface domains in the form of magnetic stripes (Sweet) or magnetic bubbles (Manelas) are created on the ferrite.  The output coil is in spatial correlation with these domains such that any surface movement of those domains induces voltage into the output coil.  It strikes me that this could be proven by experiment.  It may be noted that the Sweet ferrite billet is reported to exhibit domains in the form of stripes "like plywood".

I had already a magnet from a previous experiment of Brads that I did this to. I managed to get a razor blade standing upright, i haven't tried the pin though. I couldn't the blade to "flutter" like floyd's tho. Thanks for the paper too. I'll need to read it several times.

Finally got around to replicating. 6x4" on order. https://youtu.be/I2BuLaRnZ8U

My new magnet arrived Thanks Cyril, I find this experiment very interesting. I'm surprised how much it lifts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wf2KDMs-qFk
