I believe we have taken the Halbach AF arraignment about as far as one could go, and the next step would be one of procurement. Plainly, the Halbach arrangement requires custom shapes to leverage the greatest performance. Spot-checking pricing, I have noted that the materials cost has risen over 30% since May. The validity of the path now comes into question:

- What happens if we use off-the-shelf materials instead?
- How would the design change?
- What is the cost-benefit?
- What other possibilities exist for AF?
Assumptions:
- From previous studies we understand that thickness plays a large role in field strength.
- We also understand that the Halbach arraignment effectively doubled the magnetic flux density onto one face at the expense of the opposite face.
- Without using Halbach, AF designs benefit most by completing the magnetic circuit with high-permeability back-plates.
- The addition of said materials does not contribute to issues related with iron-core stators; they are separate.
Let’s embrace an alternative view and explore this new direction with vigor!
