How a Circular Halbach Array Works in Circumferential and Planar Arrays
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.
