They provide more magnetic force at lower cost. The increased power of the Alnico magnet shown last week, designed by Physicist Wayne E. (for nothing) McKibben, is due to a steel sheath around it, which efficiently concentrates the magnetic flux very much as an optical lens focuses rays of light...
