Materials
The material used for the flux paths and
armatures is Hyperco. The magnets are Ceramic VIII. The coils
are 80 T of 22 Ga copper for each coil.

Test Procedure
A digital force gauge capable of reading up to
5000 Grams is attached to one of the armatures. The Gauge is
set on 'hold' to capture maximum force. Power is applied to
where zero force is present on armature 'A'. Armature 'B' is
pulled from the test apparatus using the force gauge. The
measurement is then recorded. Several tests can be made and
the results averaged if desired. To measure the conventional
electromagnetic equivalent the permanent magnets are removed
from the test apparatus. With the exact same amount of power
applied to the coils as in the first test armature 'B' is
again pulled from the test apparatus using the force gauge.
The measurement is then compared with the Parallel Path
system. Additional force tests are shown on our Tests
page.
