There is a time and place to use Halbach Arrays over conventional arrays. Depending on your needs, the time and cost involved in manufacturing Halbach Arrays may or may not be worth the investment. This final piece in our four part series on Halbach Arrays discusses the benefits and drawbacks to using these arrays.
Function and application influence design choices. The balance between power and cost efficiency, for example, is a tough line to walk. So for many, the basic design elements of the Halbach Arrays and its analogues are of vital consideration. In this third article of our four-part series on Halbach Arrays, we will discuss design elements and variables.
In our previous TechTalk article about Halbach Arrays, we discussed what a Halbach Array might be composed of and why these arrays are useful. But how do these arrays create a magnetic field, and how are these fields used?
In this second installment of our four-part series explaining Halbach Arrays, we will look at the field geometries of the two most common Halbach Array orientations and debunk a few common misconceptions about how these magnetic fields are used and function.
There is a lot of information about “Halbach Arrays” available on the Internet, yet much of it is re-posted copy with fragmented explanations. This first article in a four-part series on Halbach Arrays will attempt to cohesively demystify the Halbach Array, explain how it works, and cover the advantages and disadvantages of using them.
