Hey everyone!
I recently decided to build a stir plate, more for the fun of constructing something than for actually needing one (I usally pitch dry packets, Im definatly going to use this bad boy though). Everything is completed on it except for the attachment of the magnets to the fan. I scored 2 neodymium crecent shaped mags out of an old hard drive, and they are pretty similar to the other mags I've seen on here that people have sourced from HDs. I was wondering if anyone could clarify the correct position to attach these magnets.
Should I set them up in the circular pattern where the 2 magnets are in opposition, or should I stack them one on top of the other and then center the stack on the fan? how do you guys have it rigged? whats the difference? I plan on using some epoxy to nail them down. thanks a lot everyone!
