Testing ferrofluid as a magnet lubricant
One of the struggles in using the XY PCB linear motor to position magnets is that the force is quite low compared to the friction, and so it is difficult to make small precise movements, due to the "stiction". In other words, the static friction i...

Linear Magnet XY Demo Gets a Nice Box
I was cleaning out the lab and came across this little demo -- as a pile of parts in a cardboard box. I decided it deserved a proper home, so I ordered a project box and had a nice time assembling everything into it.

XY Magnet Array Actuation Test
First testing of a 5x5 1/8" magnet array on the finer pitch PCB with X and Y linear actuators. I'm using the electronics on a Guass Speedway to drive it, which means I can only control a single axis at a time at the moment. It can (just barely in ...

PyrolyticCarbonSheets
Trying out some carbon sheets for their diagmagnetic properties. These are both of dubious provenance, and I suspect that at least in the case of the thick sheet, it is plain rather than pyrolytic graphite. I'm not able to see any sign of clear la...

Magnet Stepper Demo PCB
When showing people the Gauss Speedway, sometimes they ask how it works. I made this tiny, manually controlled version with LEDs to demonstrate. The lit arrows show which traces are active, and which direction the current is flowing. Each butt...

Gauss Speedway Rev 3 - White/Green Train
Quick video of the final version of Gauss Speedway, in black. I've been making a bunch more cars too, so I had more than usual on hand.
