Test Quantity of Diamagnetic, Paramagnetic Particles in a Viscous Moving Liquid

03/09/2026 10:24 AM

I want to be able to quantify the amount of very small Diamagnetic and Paramagnetic particles in a moving stream of viscous liquid. A hall effect device comes to mind, but I do not know how to make the circuit, or if there is already a device that can do that.

I am not as sharp as I once was, past 76years old and nothing works like it used to, especially after a fight with Covid so bear with me.

Would it require a PM on one side of the column and the Hall effect on the other? Would spacing make a difference in measuring the total particles? Would velocity of the fluid make a difference? I kind of picture like cars of two different colors passing by a sensor. It only counts the number of each color cars, not the speed.

Do they make high speed, high resolution Hall Effect sensors?

Any help is sincerely appreciated.

Here's an idea. I don't know if it will work.

Consider the Stern-Gerlach device magnet. It has a pointed pole where the magnetic field is strongest and a flat pole where it is weakest.

Turn it up on end so the fluid can flow between the poles. If your fluid contains diamagnetic and paramagnetic particles, the diamagnetic will be deflected away from the pointy pole and the paramagnetic towards it. The amount of deflection should be proportional to the strength of paramagnetism or diamagnetism.

Good idea!

Now I would need a Hall Effect (or 2) sensor(s) to count each type and generate a + or - pulse for each type.

I would run this count through a totalizer and digital display.

The measuring device needs to be as small as possible, the display, not so small.
