Assembly and Testing

In the following video, I show the 3D printing process of the RF coil formers, the result of the windings in 2 pieces, and the final assembly by joining the 4 pieces using non-magnetic nylon screws.

To observe the rotating magnetic field effect, I use a neodymium magnet diametrically polarized. From both coil pairs assembled in quadrature, a sinusoidal current is applied to the first one (using a function generator), and the same current dephased 90ยบ is applied at the second pair, as can be observed in the screen.

The 300mHz generates a complete magnet turn approximately every 3 seconds, although, in the MRI, we will use 213kHz at 5mT.

Since motors don’t care about homogeneity, it probably is the most homogeneous magnetic field motor in the world right now ๐Ÿ˜›
