I’ve been playing at work most of my life

Hello Mr. Hamilton and other members of Neo-Tech. I learned a long time ago that I have a gift for fixing things that run on electricity, hydraulic or other mechanically powered industrial equipment. It’s what I do. Though I do work for a company, I consider myself self employed in that I provide my services to those that need it and they in turn compensate me so that I may pay for the home I own and all the other things necessary to live in this anti-civilization. I have been getting paid for playing at work for many years and truly enjoy it. It shows in my attitude and willingness to help others learn the basics of the buildings infrastructure, electrical, A/C, compressed air and plumbing and also work on the CNC mills and lathes as needed. I have been a supervisor before and found that was not what I was meant to be doing with my life. I am not an office person. My Friday Night Essence puts me out there, tools in my hand, getting dirty with those I work with, just as Jessie the Janitor at the school in the first book was very happy doing what he did. I do what I do to help the other 185 employees be comfortable at work so they can do their jobs and we all get paid. That’s me in a nut shell.

On another note, I would like to ask if there is another member that is very good at calculating electromagnetic fields. To be brief, I have an idea that requires a U shaped electromagnet. Using a laminated core, 3/4″ square and 11″ to 12″ around the exterior, I need to know how much power it will take to produce 0.7mT magnetic strength at the ends of the core while being powered with a 420cps square wave. Note, the reverse EMF will be fed back into the coils using a diode and the coils on each leg cannot be closer than 1-1/2″ to the ends of the core. Power is a relative term meaning total watts needed. The voltage can be anywhere between 120 and 240 volts DC and wire size and number of turns calculated so that the core operates smoothly. Core laminate thickness and material best suited for the application should also be considered when making the calculations. If the total power in watts is what I hope it will be, then we can discuss what It will cost to have around 100 of them made and what they will be used for. Thanks for your time reading this. Please feel free to email me with any other questions about the design or if you come up with an answer. Thanks, Steve W
