Hi Randall, Brett, John, Ted, Chris and co...
I appreciate ALL the input
I really thought that the slice of aluminium I had between the
reasonably strong
magnets would have been enough obviously not!
Ted's comments are valid, I can feel the eddy generated when passing the
aluminium between the poles of the magnets but it doesnt feel as strong as
what Ted is suggesting it should.
I had already cut back on the mass to 2 lb instead of the originally
planned
4lb. If I have to I will go back to 1 lb
I think I will also do a bit of a redesign and put the magnet frame for the
dampening separate ... sitting on the main frame as Chris has done in a couple
of his units.
I was waiting to hear back from him as to if there is any advantage having
fix
magnets and the vane moving ie. fixed to the boom, or the other way around
like
I had.
cheers
Dave
