Al

 You should also measure at about 1 inch. It is an inverse square decrease

with distance. The rate of drop off is related to the starting point and the

shape of the field.

Some have a flat field out to some distance before they start the inverse square

drop off.

That is in fact how I spot degauss CRT screens, but using a flat wood
boring bit (metal, obviously, instead of a paint stick) with the magnet
stuck on the end, spun around with a drill.

It sounds like one can make a fine tape degausser by connecting

a super magnet to the end of a paint stirring rod and use a drill

to spin it.

AC magnetic field strengths

[Al Kossow via cctalk]

I bought an AlphaLabs GM-2 Gaussmeter for another project, and measured the AC 
magnetic
field strength touching these devices yesterday, since I really didn't have any 
idea beyond
order of magnitude what they might be

Handheld tape head demagnetizer: 40 Gauss
GC Elec 9317 CRT degausing coil: 70 Gauss
Audiolab TD-3 desktop bulk eraser: 1000 Gauss
Inmac 7180 or
RS 44-233A handheld bulk tape erasers: 2000 Gauss



also the DC field of a 1/4" button super magnet like on the
