Yeah man those magnets ain't cheap! That's why you gotta be so careful with em. I'm actually drawing up a rig right now that will be able to safely remove the new bigger magnets, there's almost no way I could do it with my hands lol.

And Spandex might work, but I think getting it to hold firmly enough to the VC would be a challenge, and do they make a stiffer spandex? Or would I just need to layer it a bunch of times?

He wants the first one. No way I'm giving him my new magnets man! He sorta paid for the first ones. sorta. But he was so excited about it I couldn't say no. I think it's rare that he has a student take such an interest in any project and actually put an impressive amount of thought and effort into making it. He was like a little-boy in the R/C cars part of Toys R' Us when he saw it start to play lol, he got his camera and made a video and everything. He didn't ask me about keeping it until today though, because I told him I'll just build an even bigger and badder one then.

how well does the stretched inner tube work? I'd be a bit worried with no roll to the surround.

I'm sure you can get teflon sheeting like sheets of paper, just roll it up and slide it in/over the magnets.

As to your new magnets, can you have a machine shop center-bore them? You could slide a bolt through center to align them while stacking them.

Watch your fingers, that much pull power is liable to break shit if you get your fingers between the magnets during assembly.

Maybe try using bungee cords for the spider. They're pretty cheap and should be significantly more durable.

Interesting, that thing is amazing.
Wish my AP Physics teacher did something like that back when I was in high school.
Read the build, I love it.
Tuned in for v2 and the rest of the build

I would cheat and buy spiders and a surround this time lol, still keep your cone though, its BADASS imo. At least the spiders, and you could space them to help out even more with keeping it all aligned. If V2 is for yourself it doesn't really matter if you use off the shelf parts.

[revoracing247]

if you really want to stay away from shelf parts. idk how well spandex will work either. you gotta keep the coil from moving back and forth.

what about like bending like flexible plastic in a sort of accordion style and then sowing a few of them equal distances around the VC in between a couple layers of spandex?

the plastic would have to be wide (like 1/8" or so wide) or else it wouldn't do anything to help stop the side to side movement.

Found some spiders for you on ebay that have solid centers and can be cut for any siz Voice coil.

This would be perfect IMO.
