Chet,

I expect we will see fairly soon.

I hope Rick proves me wrong.

Lots of heavy moving parts and connections there!

If Rick does it, then he will be the first.

Chances are pretty good though that whatever mechanism he is going to use, has been tried before.

I wish him luck.

Geez that magnet shielding idea. I will try and make one or two of them and try it on my own wheel. I left the guy a comment but I guess it takes time for new comments to appear on the page.

Basically, I think his thin rectangular magnet open side is giving two polarities plus the blotch wall, since his neo magnets are polarized through the 1/4" thickness. This will still give him two polarities off the edge so not a real danger for those looking for reasons to stop his videos.

BUT, if you take a nice square neo magnet polarized through one of the thicknesses, then shield leave one corner open, then you will only have one real half polarity coming out and only then would it be a real mono magnet. I made a quick drawing to show. Sorry for off topic. But I need some of these. Hmmmm.
