magnetic flux, pure wooden tongs, ふぐ刺し

Today started with these.





You may say what is the difference from the earlier
images. I am not going to apologise. There are
differences, as far as I am concerend, and on top of that,

remember I live in a small world of my own, with all
these logs being meant for posterity, and once the whole thing
is finished, then recorded on disks for wider posterity.

Until then, I will thrive, hopefully, and part of my
ashes will be eventually sent to the lunar surface by an American
company.

You may have the impression that above two photos are
the end of coating operation. They will be further subjected to
wet sanding in water!

You may see in the following two images,





what is involved in forming concave surfaces. In the first,
you may be able to see a few brown patches. They are the burns
which my SPIKY left as it rotates at more than 3000 RPM,

producing Juele heating on the surface. The second is showing you
the result of my flapper doing its job. The flapper
rotates even faster, at something like RPM 5000.

However, somehow, flappers seem to be more heat dissipating.
Maybe, the air current?, smaller mass of the flaps not
accumulating enough heat energy? I do not know.


What follows is today's (?) outcome and I have been
working on these for the last few days. Concave surfaces
were formed on most of them.



There is one thing. The whole thing is a slow process and
my time is limited. For instance, curd desolvers'
edges have not yet ben rounded, much as I have been

wanting to! Same goes to my half a dozen SPs, I have not
been able to form concave surfaces on any of them, yet.

My gut feeling now is that once all these are sorted out
I will have something like 70, 80 arteatcs to be coated.

When would that be? My guess is that it will be end this week.
I am being so busy with things I cannot divert my attention
to the sort of things I talked about earlier.

About the only thing I have been able to do so was with the tongs.

Take a look at the following schematics.



Take a look at A, this is showing you the magnetic flux
emanating from one of the disk magnets. To all intents and
purposes we can neglect the curving lines at the fringe.

With such weak repulsive forces that I can afford the
magnetic lines must be alligned anti pararell.

B is showing something that I do not want. Magnetic lines
are at an angle. Lines in blue. Two members of a tong,
connected and pivoted at one end, invariably, are at

an angle. By the way, brown pieces are my weak ferrite
magnets. How do you reconcile these diametrically
opposing directional properties?

I am in a deep thinking mode at the moment. Weak force of
repulsion to be maximised, by configuring the best
layout.
