bubbled magnet
cut magnets with a light bulking agent for correct inter-atomic distances. | |
Disclaimer: An imagining.
If we are going to engineer an interplanetary engine, or even a really efficient jet, humanity is going to need superconductors. If not super conductors then really light strong magnets.
The current work, in my simplistic readings, is to find the correct alloy. Bake a
structure with bonds that gives the correct framework for the electron magic.
My idea is to take the atomic magnetic and design the theoretic perfect placement in space of these units. It would be nice to have a non interfering atom just fit nicely in the spaces but I don't think we are at that level of manipulation. If there is such a thing. So the distances should be a multiple of theoretical distance. Guessing at nature and recursion there is probably an adjustment factor between the multiple of the perfect distance factor.
Make some Buckyballs, or some other filler at the needed size. Mill the magnetic material to the correct multiple size and mix. Maybe layer. Possibly, with a lot of wishing and trial and error, fate allows and the magnets align with each other around the packer material giving a strong but light magnet.
Another way of looking at this imagining is have a block of many bar magnets gapped by little rubber blocks at the correct distance to generate the same electron movement. A less dense magnet for the same magnetic strength for the same volume because of it's designed structure.
Hopefully not total bollocks but the just a right wrong step.

I wonder if AI has been used yet to find better magnetic
materials. Along with the elements it is made of, the
optimal shape of the magnetic domains (cubes? Hexagons?
rectangles of a certain length), as well as the size
(number of atoms) in the domain. |
|
| |
In magnets clumps of a few hundred atoms all have
identical spins, called domains. Then there is a mosaic of
these clumps. |
|
| |
Using AI to find the most optimal tesselation of the
optimal quantities-of-atoms-per-domain amount could
improve things. |
|
| |
I am under the impression thta you can use lasers to
orient spins. Perhaps a laser aimed at a magnet-blank
gradually being formed from chemical vapor deposition
could create optimally spaced, highly homogenous
domains. |
|
| |
Perhaps it could improve the efficiency of motors. |
|

[beanangel] Like minds, after the same advancement but you are far more well read.
[Maxwell] Hope still needs energy which means it can be detrimental. |
|
| |
I my mind magnetism is an the dynamic interplay between photons, electrons and the quantum foam. Designing control of this energetic volume will be mankind's stepping stone to the exoplanets. |

hmmmmm.... (+) shapes are good. |

Once when I was drifting off to sleep sometime in my twenties I started picturing magnets in the shape of pyramids, and playing around in my head with how they would interact with one another. Didn't really go anywhere.
Then I saw what would happen to them if they were fractured from their centers outwards towards their points and reconfigured so that they made magnetic cells which have only one outward facet of one polarity being held apart by the tiniest of gaps from the outwards facets of the other polarity creating a mono-pole if they were wrapped into a geodesic sphere. |
|
| |
That led to several days of waking right on the cusp of sleep with possibilities to the point where I wasn't sure if it was going to end and let me go back to sleep again. |
|
| |
Play around with the possibilities of an actual working mono-pole in your own head without preconceptions and you'll see what I mean. |
|
| |
[2 fries] You didn't happen to dream of the energy/matter play that derived an isolated pole? Mankind would love that kind of heads up.
People are already expert at using stuff in new ways. |
|
| |
[2f] Have you heard of a halback array, it makes a strong
pole on one side, and minimal magnetism on the other
side; so is there a 2D (planar) halback array, and really
interestingly, a 3D stacked halbach array, perhaps a little
like your pyramids, but optimally some other shape that
///\\\ overlaps or "focuses" the magnetic pole to higher
power. Computer modelling of magnets with physics
software and genetic algorithms could design this even if
it seems a big thing to humans. |
|
| |
Pole pieces designed by a genetic algorithm for the
interior of a magnet could be your "bulking agent" that
makes magnets more powerful. |
|
| |
[wjt]: pole pieces in the magnet: pole pieces shape
magnetic fields, causing local intensification at the pole
piece; your optimized magnetic domains could be
interspersed with pole piece material (at improved
manufacturing) to, just perhaps, cause greater magnetic
strength from interdomain communication. |
|
| |
Also, as to super strong magnets consider an image of a
bulk magnet slice that looks like a tessellation of
hexagons. Using better manufacturing (like IC
lithography) replace some of the hexagons with an
individually addressable electromagnet, then there is a
landscape where with induced electricity some of the
magnetic domain hexagon spaces can be 100s or 1000s of
times more magnetic when inductive power activates
their microelectromagnet; this causes new effects at the
magnet, and makes a new kind of MRI (NMR) magnet for
scanning. That is a little like making your passive
"bulking agents" able to switch between no magnetism
and much more than material magnetism amount. |
