To-do List

 * 1) Design permag yoke
 * 2) Run simulation
 * 3) Custom parts?
 * 4) Order pieces?

Permanent Magnetic Yoke
I came up with a really simple design for my magnetic yoke using the 1/2 inch cylinders, the cone, and the bends that I found. So going around from the gap, I have:


 * The cone
 * 2" long cylinder
 * 90o bend
 * 2" long cylinder
 * 90o bend
 * 5" long cylinder
 * 90o bend
 * 2" long cylinder
 * 90o bend
 * 2" long cylinder

For all of the cylinders, the diameter would be 1/2" to keep consistent with the cones. This set up would have a 1/2" gap between the flat part and the tip of the cone, if I need to shorten it, then I can use some of the other small magnets and just slide them in. A quick sketch of what I'm thinking:
