Design of magnetic lens for particle accelerator

This design was made by me. These magnetic lenses don't focus the particle beam too much to the center but it makes an almost perfect circle and the magnetic field around the accelerator is not very big. The magnets chosen were neodymium magnets, but if you use coils instead it's possible to get a better focus of particles.

Increased dispersion of magnetic field energy due to ferromagnetic component in neodymium magnets

In this magnetic simulation it was observed an interesting effect caused by a ferromagnetic component inside a neodymium magnet. The magnetic energy of the air around it had an increase when two pieces of iron were placed inside the magnet, but the total of magnetic energy was not changed, them you could say that the magnetic field was better dispersed. This effect happens when the magnet without the ferromagnetic component has a gap in it, as seen by the pictures bellow:
Air- Magnetic field energy of air is 
8.16778 Joules

Iron- Magnetic field energy of air is
8.87539 Joules
Now, what if you had a magnet that doesn't have the air gap when tested without an iron component? Well let's try it by filling the space with cooper metal. Ok, that would not work because the cooper metal would have more magnetic field energy concentrated in one spot, increasing the total magnetic field energy! Here is the data:
Cooper component:
Total field energy: 12.8256 Joules
Air field energy: 4.33302 Joules     
Iron component:
Total field energy: 12.5762 Joules
Air field energy: 4.14083 Joules                 
With this data we can see that this experiment is not accurate because of the concentrated field energy due to the cooper component, and with that damaging the data of the simulator because the air around the magnet is not infinite. So this method cannot be used to determinate the increase of dispersion.


Extraction of cooper sulfate

Mixture 1 is cooper sulfate mixed with unknown composition of different metals compounds that gives mixture 1 a green color. A flame test was made and it was observed green and orange flames, which is probably due to sodium and calcium contamination. It's feasible that mixture 1 is also composed of calcium carbonate. The mixture was poured in a solution of 70% sulfuric acid with ethyl alcohol, both were diluted in water. Cooper sulfate isn't soluble in ethyl alcohol so the by-products will be more easily separated. Gas was released and the solution started to become blue like cooper sulfate. A white precipitate was forming on the bottom of the beaker. The colorless gas is not combustible and doesn't have odor. The gas might be carbon dioxide, product of the reaction bellow:
                                                    H2SO4+CaCO3CaSO4+H2O+CO2
The products were gravity filtered. After filtering it was observed a deep blue liquid and a white powder. The liquid was cooper sulfate and water, therefore, the calcium carbonate was mixed with iron and cooper salts as well, that gave the mixture a greenish-blue color.

Definition of Energy


Energy is a tricky thing to define but after you read this you will understand it in an elementary level. Energy is disturbance, more accurately a disturbance in a medium. We will call a medium that exists in all the infinity of the universe a field. Fields are what gives particles their masses and charges. There are the two types of energy in the universe. For example lets think about kinetic energy, this is a type of energy due to the disturbance of a massive particle created by it's movement in space. When a particle with mass travels in space it creates a disturbance in the higgs field. With that you can confirm that temperature is a state of the kinetic energy. What about light? Well light is the disturbance created by the disturbance of the electromagnetic field in our universe, light it self is just a disturbance traveling at the speed of light without mass.

Dispersion of magnetic field density of neodymium magnet by magnetic sandwich

When a magnet is localized between two other magnets but without touching them you get an amazing effect where the magnetic field density in the middle magnet is dispersed in his surroundings. The magnets even without touching each other work together to form a bigger magnetic body. When this magnet gets affected by this flux of magnetic field it starts to loose his magnetic field inside it, to create a big blob around all the magnets.

Neodymium magnet's magnetic field trapped inside ferromagnetic box

The magnetic simulation showed that the magnetic field induced by the neodymium magnet was totally trapped with no infinite stretching of the magnetic field lines(1.A). This effect was also observed when the box had a gap of the same size of the magnet(2.A). But when the gap had a greater size the magnetic field could escape out of the box(3.A).
