Lathe magnets are very often used in the race, both the road race and drag. However, when used for daily, found many weaknesses of the magnet lathe. Some of them are:
1 source of electricity for lighting is reduced
You will not be able to get a power source for lighting (lamps) of the magnet. Electric lighting can be drawn from the batteries that must be charged at any time if they are flat.
2 Torque is reduced due to its too soft magnetic
Relieve magnet can make a quick round up, power up the machine, but its torque down. If the magnet is too light njerit but the motor just would not run. If you want to raise the torsion pendulum or magnet yes be compounded. One way could be up stroke. When the pendulum stroke up bigger so automatic torque / torque is also greater.
