I recently read about a switchable (ON/OFF) permanent
magnet. [link]
This intrigued me, and caused me to imagine a half-baked
version, the variable strength permanent magnet. Simply
include a variable control to adjust the relative positions of
the two magnets, and viola!
Not to be confused
with magnetic monopoles.

This is already Baked to a certain extent by winding a coil around a permanent magnet and then passing a current so that the resultant field opposes the permanent magnet. |
|
|
It means that the force can be varied from zero, through P which is the force of the permanent magnet with zero coil current, to P + D where D is the additional force of the coil at maximum current. |
|
|
This is pretty much how remanence relays work. |
|
|
The coil must not heat the core above its Curie point. |
|
|
The "on/off" magnet assemblies linked (well, linked to the link) don't come right out and say it's variable, but it sure looks that way. |
|
|
Would a half-on magnet have East and West poles? |
|
|
East Poles? Blimey, is everyone carving off a chunk of
Ukraine nowadays? |
|
|
It does look likely .. we'll Czech on it and get Baku to you ... |
