3D scanners rely on being able to identify physical features of an object, and line up what it saw a moment ago with what it sees now in order to build …read more Continue reading DIY Magnetic Markers Help 3D Scan Tricky Objects
We’re probably all familiar with the Hall Effect, at least to the extent that it can be used to make solid-state sensors for magnetic fields. It’s a cool bit of …read more Continue reading Shine On You Crazy Diamond Quantum Magnetic Sensor
If you ever wished electrons would just behave, this one’s for you. A team from Tohoku, Osaka, and Manchester Universities has cracked open an interesting phenomenon in the chiral helimagnet …read more Continue reading Twisting Magnetism to Control Electron Flow
If you think shorting a transformer’s winding means big sparks and fried wires: think again. In this educational video, titled The Magnetic Bypass, [Sam Ben-Yaakov] flips this assumption. By cleverly …read more Continue reading Hacking Flux Paths: The Surprising Magnetic Bypass
Sometimes it’s the simplest hacks that make the biggest impact. Take these DIY magnetic PCB vises for example. Sure, you can go out and buy purpose-built tools, but [Dylan Radcliffe] …read more Continue reading Simple Hardware Store Hack Keeps Your PCBs Right Where You Want Them
Bambu Lab has released a new line of low-temperature build plates that look to be the next step in 3D printing’s iteration—or so YouTuber Printing Perspective thinks after reviewing one. The Cryogrip Pro is …read more Continue reading Putting the New CryoGrip Build Plate to the Test
Some inventions are so simple that it’s hard to improve them. The magnetic compass is a great example — a magnetized needle, a bit of cork, and a bowl of …read more Continue reading Overcomplicating the Magnetic Compass for a Reason
Two great minds in permanent-magnet-free motor design are fusing their know-how to create an even more capable inductive electric motor. Mahle and Valeo have teamed up to introduce what they call the Inner Brushless Electrical Excitation (iBEE) system,… Continue reading Magnet-free induction motor aims to nearly halve carbon emissions
In an age where most cars come standard with things like backup cameras and Bluetooth, it’s surprising that they don’t all have rear window wipers. The GeckoWiper gives such an appendage to the Hyundai IONIQ 5, with other makes/models soon to follow.Co… Continue reading GeckoWiper sticks a rear wiper on the IONIQ 5 – other cars coming soon
Scientists in China have developed the world’s strongest resistive magnet, which produced a steady magnetic field of 42 Tesla (T). The system could improve devices that use magnets, as well as enable a range of new experiments that probe electromagneti… Continue reading World’s strongest resistive magnet fired up in China
