Shaping a field
Shaping a field
(OP)
Im currently working on a ion propulsion systems and need a way to shape a magnetic field.
I would like to get a cone shape using a round magnet.
I would appreciate all and any suggestions.

RE: Shaping a field
Perhaps you want the lines of magnetic induction to come out at one face of a round magnet at angles, instead of being substantially parallel as with a cylindrical magnet?
A domed end round magnet would do something like this.
You should also specify if this is a permanent magnet application, and the degree of uniformity you require for the field.
With magnets you can do many things, but of course for non trivial geometries a FEM calculation could be necessary, especially if you want a detailed knowledge of the field shape.
