Hi Fred,
Since you work with the big stuff and seem to be knowledgeable I hope you
can help me on this. I am having trouble trying to visualize the flux path
that would allow any significant magnetization inside the filter. Wouldn't
the filter's case in effect be a magnetic analog of a Faraday cage, or are
the magnets strong enough to saturate the mild steel and establish a free
space field inside the filter?
Thanks,
Jeff
