Hi Gary,
On the small neo magnet photo it appears the magnets are 90 degrees =
turned from what I would think to locate them. Did you try the other =
orientation?
I have used several speaker magnets. On most the 4 bolt holes do not go =
through the magnet ring itself. If you insert and tighten longer =
threaded bolts against the magnet, the pole ring will pop loose and then =
you can easily turn the gap wider to probably 1 cm or more on that =
magnet. Even if it won't come loose it is fairly easy to open the gap =
on a lathe but be careful of the turnings as they are very sharp and the =
magnetic field tends to align them into finger cutting angles. =
Extending the center pole into the coil with a short fat bolt after the =
gap is widened also seems to increase output. =20
