Hi: I had a need for a small low cost 5 Volt battery type supply to power some magnetic sensors in the field. To meet this need I've come up with what I call a...
Hi: More on making zero field cans. http://www.pacificsites.com/~brooke/Sensors.shtml#Shielding So far using different thickness of Netic material to make cans...
... Why not try with the cans with the open ends facing opposite directions? That should be similar to having a cap but work with your present cans as is. ...
Hi Gerald: Installing the smallest diameter can with the open end facing the closed end of the larger pair of cans does not result in an improvement. The...
Hi again: I've just posted a couple of photos, one of the ALS-208 Hall sensor (ranges +/- 2, 20 and 200 G) and the FLC-100 sensor (range +/- 100 uT) on my...
... Bummer. ... Well if it's magnetized the measured field should change with orientation, right? It probably will be hard to detect. I'd try rotating the...
Hi Gerald: I plotted the field inside just the 2x9 inch can and found that at the very bottom it's higher than for most of the length. So I expect that the...
Hello all, As a newcomer to the group, this is my first post, so be kind. :-) I have built a torsion-balance magnetometer(TBM), and I am quite pleased with its...
... Joe, Welcome to the group. Don't worry, [magnetometer] is a rather friendly group. What makes you think that pointing a TBM east-west offers higher...

... I'm not sure that it would apply to a torsion-balance magnetometer, but some of the electronic sensors are very sensitive to magnetic fields, but only in...
Hi Joe: It's because with an East-West magnetometer you can turn up the gain. The actual sensor has the same output, but the system is more sensitive. If by...
All, Depending upon the observer's location the EW component of terrestrial magnetic field can be substantially larger than the NS component. See, for example,...

Hi Joe: The referenced plot is of the diurnal variation, not the size of the respective components. It may be that the diurnal changes in the E-W field are...
Brooke, Indeed, you are correct. I did mean to point out the comparison of the daily variation rather than the "bulk" value in the principal directions. Chalk...

Hi all! Happy New Year from Europe! 1h20m to go ;-) Best regards, Hannes. -- +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~+ ... ...
Happy new year. This group is like geomagnetic activity or sunspot activity(I hope I am right). There is activity for some time and none at all for a long...
Hi Brooke Have just returned after a long absence and have been looking through old posts. Did you pursue the 'drinking straw' sensor and come to any ...
Hello all, Thanks to all who reponded to my post of 12-29 concerning orientation of a torsion balance magnetometer(TBM). I have come to realize that the real...
Yesterday I ran across some PSN-L archive postings from 2000 in which Charles Patton discussed security tags as being sources of mu-metal/permalloy and even...
You can find the good one at Wal-Mart, or Zellers, if you are in Canada. These are small plastic strip with bar-code on it, glued on the package wou buy. I...
Hi Colin: I have the home made flux gate on hold, but am collecting materials to make others. Coffee stirring sticks are much smaller in diameter than soft...
Better late than never, I was out of town, so a belated: Happy New Year! To everyone on this list. Hannes, a quick question for you. I *finally* am getting...
Try Magnetics Corporation. They make the ring cores that most people use for toroidal fluxgates. They make the cores for directional drilling for the oil...
Thanks for the advice and feedback which caused me to go away and find out more about these tags. I now know that I've been collecting RF tags, not Metglas...
Hi Colin: The Metglas samples and the 0.005 inch diameter wire both come annealed so no hydrogen furnaces required. The reason for the hydrogen (or forming...
