Abstract:
A method and apparatus for the contactless, non-destructive measurement of Hall coefficient and resistivity of a piezoelectric semiconductor sample. The material to be tested is formed in a disk which is supported at its edge by a holder. The disc is free to vibrate. Two pairs of electrodes, placed above and below the sample, excite the sample into and beyond piezoelectric resonance. Then a magnetic field is applied to the sample and the sample again driven into and beyond resonance. Comparison between the performance of the disk before and after application of the magnetic field yields data from which Hall coefficient can be determined.
Abstract:
A group of magnetic strands are configured into a minimal number of solid magnetized toroidal rings with a conical magnetization direction and then aligned, stacked and assembled into a magic sphere magnetic structure. Each magnetized toroidal ring has predetermined dimensions to form the inner and outer surfaces of a spherical shell. The present invention also encompasses a magic sphere magnetic device with unsegmented solid magnetized toroidal rings and methods for assembling a magic sphere by stacking magnetized toroidal rings with a conical magnetic direction.

Abstract:
A permanent magnet radial magnetizer is provided for use in radially magnetizing a workpiece ring. This magnetizer includes a lower magic hemisphere and an upper magic hemisphere which have respective equatorial surfaces in oppositely facing relationship to form a gap wherein a work-piece ring can be radially magnetized. Toroidal flux and pathways pass in the magnetizer and a portion of each such pathway passes through a spherical cavity therein, between one of the hemispheres and the gap.
Abstract:
The invention is a magic sphere having an equatorial gap, with a radial metic field in the equatorial gap. The radial magnetic field can flow inward, toward the center of the magic sphere, or outward, away from the magic sphere. In a further embodiment, the magic sphere produces a periodically radial magnetic field. In another embodiment, a magic sphere with an azimuthally periodic radial magnetic field that flows in the outward direction periodically magnetizes a magnetically hard ring in the outward direction. Then, a magic sphere with an azimuthally periodic radial magnetic field that flows inwardly, periodically magnetizes the ring in the inward direction. The result is a permanent magnet that has a radial magnetic field, where the direction of the field periodically alternates from the inward to the outward direction.
Abstract:
A magnetic particle separator for separating such things as ore or blood isade from a permanent magnet structure which has a plurality of segments combined to form a cylinder. Each of said plurality of segments has a magnetic remanence and direction that varies so as to form a transverse magnetic field gradient within the bore of the cylinder. A pipe is placed within the bore of the cylinder for transporting a material that is to be separated. An output end of the pipe has a transverse divider or web separating the pipe into a region near the lower magnetic flux density in the magnetic field gradient and a region near the higher magnetic flux density in the magnetic field gradient. Because of the magnetic field gradient within the bore of the pipe, the particles, having a magnetic moment or dipole, are caused to drift toward the higher magnetic flux density end of the magnetic field gradient. The web is used to separate the material into a material with a high density of particles and a material with a low density of particles. The particles are conveniently collected at the high density of particles output end.
Abstract:
A permanent magnet toroidal structure having a periodic or modulated tranrse magnetic field with an average magnetic field greater than zero providing containment for an electron beam. In one embodiment, permanent magnet toroidal sections having a magnetic orientation for producing a transverse magnetic field are spaced in a toroidal shape. A periodic or modulating magnetic field of a single direction is thereby formed. The magnetic field is stronger over the permanent magnet toroidal sections and the magnetic field is weaker, but of the same direction, in the spaces between the permanent magnet toroidal sections. The repetitive acceleration of electrons traversing the arc of the toroidal structure creates electromagnetic radiation. A core is placed within the cavity or working space of the toroidal structure. The core is made of either a permanent magnet material or a ferromagnetic material.

A trapped flux, iron structure, which prevents bunching of interior flux es during an application of a field force, is provided. This iron structure includes a plurality of elongate identical subassemblies, each subassembly having a rod composed of a soft ferromagnetic material and each rod having a superconductive sheath.
Abstract:
Within a magnetic structure, passages are incorporated equatorially about apherical magnet for entering and exiting a cavity therein. To enhance the density of the field in the cavity, magnetic material other than that of the spherical magnet is incorporated within the magnet structure. A source of synchrotron radiation is derived by combining the magnet structure with means for introducing charge particles through the passages to the cavity wherein the magnetic field influences the particles to travel in a circular path.
Abstract:
An electrical machine having a stator formed from a pair of cup-shaped permanent magnets symmetrically disposed on opposite sides of a conductive, disk-shaped rotor. The magnets are polarized such that a portion of their external magnetic flux passes in one direction through a short peripheral gap formed by the magnets in which the periphery of the rotor is disposed. The remainder of the external magnetic flux substantially passes in the opposite direction through a cavity defined by the inner volume of the cup-shaped magnets. The inner portion of the disk-shaped rotor is disposed in this cavity. One embodiment of the invention implements the cup-shaped magnets with modified "magic spheres" mounted on either side of the conductive disk-shaped rotor. Other embodiments use a magnetic plate on one side of the disk-shaped rotor to act as a magnetic mirror for a cup-shaped magnet mounted on the other side of the rotor. In still another embodiment, the magnets are mounted as rotors while the conductive disk is the stator. The machine may be used as a homopolar generator or a homopolar motor.
