I think the two machines MAY have EXACTLY the same grade of magnets. The difference in flux is that on one machine the two 3/4" x 3/4" magnets are back to back with a thin layer of plastic between them (OLD machine) and the new machine has a 1/4"thick by 5/8" diameter magnet between them. In one machine the pull forces of the two magnets are added, but in the other machine the small magnet disrupts this. My problem is with the statement I found that says:
"As more magnets are stacked together, the strength will increase until the length of the stack is equal to the diameter. After this point, any further magnets added will provide a negligible increase in performance."
I'm not sure I agree with this completely. I remember testing exactly that at one point and seeing that I DID get some increase in magnetic attraction when I stacked some magnets. Not sure about their SIZE though. Will do some measuring tomorrow when I have time. What I DO know is my new meter shows a SIGNIFICANT difference in magnetic flux on the two machines. Enough to account for the difference in output. Although LOAD could affect output also. Lots of things that need testing.
