Yup. Heat will nullify them.

Yes it will....

... And I'm wondering how this comes up in a PWD build.

So wait, when my wife tells me she's HOT I'm suppose to say,"WAIT I NEED TO DO AN EXPERIMENT".

I have learned through painful lessons that when a woman says that to me I should not say a word, and just kick it into overdrive. Not a single word. LOL

ya know how those baseball players wear magnetic necklaces or wrist bands?

It is some kind of hippie magic I think.

I am working on a shipping box that will harness some of that magic.

Oh sorry GX!

For any hippies out there my prior post was meant only in reverence.

Thanks GX,

I did not want to offend any of your people.

While we are on the subject I will be the new guy to ask the question:

Obviously magnets cannot be used as a means of propulsion but have there been tests to see how the perform as "washers"?

In an effort to keep the wheel off the head.

I got all into magnets aboout 6 months ago

Better yet, "float" the axle in the bore to eliminate friction all together? Would be considered a "bushing". I would think Maglev has already thought of this! lol

I thought about magnetic frictionless bearing setup. I couldn't envision a solution and dont know where i would be able to source the materials to experiment.

 

[Chief]

Just positively magnetise one, and negatively magnetise the oher, right???

 

[ngyoung]

Opposites attract. So for a magnetic bearing you want the ring and the axle on the same polarity so the axle is floating. I saw some people considering a bearing seated in the wheel. I was thinking of one seated in the body as an axle holder and the axle would float and spin.
