NEWS FLASH!!! NEWS FLASH!!!
I know it sounds silly but I have to do this drama flash!!
I have found out a very important discovery almost as big as
the "Y" ramp. Especially since it pertains to the "Y" induction ramp.
Here is what I learned. Remember I told you I have many ramps?
Well I have been studying induction of metal ramps without
magnets for awhile. When I started switching to running ramps
with stator magnets and back again, without I find that the larger
ramps with more mass do not perform as well as the ramps with less mass.
I know shape also plays a part but here is what I think is happening.
Remember Mack said that K&J had a way to figure out how much ramp
or he said iron it took to hold all of the flux from a magnet???????
It is very important that we understand what that figure is. Having more
mass in the form of iron will not direct flux well so induction is optimal.
I still have not been able to mathematically figure it out yet.
It will be some figure like so much iron cm3/##gauss
If my ramp is a little to much mass the pull on rotor magnet drops.
I have one ramp that is half the mass of the other giving twice the
pulling power from a distance. A ramp can waste flux or shall I say
having double the iron weakens the ramps flux per square inch. The flux
lost. I have a really thin laminated ramp that works best being light
much to my surprise. I made some really huge ramps and they work
poorly. So mass is very important so a high concentration of flux can
be packed into the leading edge.
Also the other end where the forks come close to the stator need to
be lower mass anyway so the ramp lets go.
What I am trying to say is less is more, more is not better.
