Abstract

Techniques disclosed here provide an array of magnets and a method of manufacturing a magnet array. In an embodiment, the array of magnets includes a plurality of three-pole magnets arranged in an array in which each three-pole magnet comprising the array is adjacent to one or more other three-pole magnets comprising the array. For example, a three-pole magnet comprises a first surface comprising a first magnetic pole having a first magnetic polarity, a second surface that is adjacent to and at least partly orthogonal to the first surface and which comprises a second magnetic pole having a second magnetic polarity that is opposite the first magnetic polarity, and a third surface that is adjacent to the first surface at an end substantially opposite the second surface and which comprises a third magnetic pole having the second magnetic polarity.
