Halbach array
Halbach array
"Halbach array" refers to a specific arrangement of permanent magnet magnets that produces a strong and uniform magnetic field on one side and almost no magnetic field on the other side. This arrangement was invented by physicist Klaus Halbach and is used in a variety of applications, including magnetic levitation, electric motors and particle accelerators.
Halbach arrays offer several advantages over traditional magnet arrangements, such as increased magnetic field strength, reduced weight and volume, and improved efficiency. It is commonly used in high-performance electric motors, such as those used in electric vehicles, and in magnetic bearings and magnetic couplings.
