PHOTOGRAPHIC COLLECTION

This page links to pictures and drawings, to help the reader study and understand the magnetic structure.

  • How the magnets are aligned.

  • (Drawing)
  • Two views of a magnet. Polar and equatorial.

  • (flat plate view)
  • A view of a single magnet at the equatorial plane.

  • (flat plate view)
  • A view of two magnets, end to end,

  • on the equatorial plane were the neutral appears.
    (flat plate view)
  • A view of three magnets and two neutrals.

  • (flat plate view)
  • Five magnets by five.

  • A view of alternating north and south fields.
    (flat plate view)
  • A birds eye view of the magnetic neutral.

  • (3D viewer)
  • A view of alternating north and south fields with cross points.

  • (3D viewer)
  • The magnetic wave.

  • (3D viewer)
  • The magnetic ladder

  • ??? the magnetic lines of force never cross???
    (3D viewer)
  • The neutral.

  • According to the dipole theory, shouldn't this picture
    look like a half of a tennis ball.
    (3D viewer)
  • The Line.

  • "The Line" is five magnets end to end, in natural alignment
    and surrounded with metallic dust.
  • The Row

  • "The Row" consists of nine magnets, in natural alignment
    and surrounded with metallic dust.
  • The Cross

  • "The Cross" consists of nine magnets, in natural alignment
    and surrounded with metallic dust.
