Good morning. I'm back from work for a few days.
Thanks for the replys. I appreciate all taking time to reply.
I was mostly looking for the physics details - Lenz's Law and Eddy currents, for attracting non-ferrous materials. In particular, how one would calculate the force on small particles such as aluminum dust. I suspect it (the force) is a function of particle size, pole size, field strength, and maybe even frequency.
But, I don't yet understand the physics details yet. This one will get shelved until I get a few week off work - maybe I can head to a University library. I'm hoping this summer.
SF project got changed to winding a hand-crank PM generator - so I am off the hook on that issue.
Thanks again
