Reply To: Flywheel magnet charger

[John Gragg]

For a short time I was almost convinced I needed a magnet recharge as well. One of our members asked me to do a test by putting a large, heavy screwdriver about an inch or so from my magnet. ( Sea King, magnets in the rotor, not the flywheel.) The test is will the magnet pull the screwdriver 3/4″ or more.

I did the test, then tested how far it would pull. If I remember right, I was able to move the screwdriver 1.25″ away!

Then I hung a bunch of tools from the magnet, no need for a recharge!

That said, for all I know you’ve already done all this and actually need a recharge.

Pics below are my experience, your mileage may vary.

Good luck,
