Chemical magnetism – surface force to move motors

Abstract

If redox reactions occur on the surface of a motor and a current loop arises, then in a non-uniform magnetic field, in addition to the usual magnetic force, such a motor will also be affected by a chemical magnetic force. The chemical magnetic force belongs to the class of surface forces. Here we analyze for the first time the properties of chemical magnets, which consist of three dissimilar metals, as well as the magnetic field generated by a chemical magnet using paramagnetic nanoparticles. The results of the study show that the chemical magnetic force depends on the concentration and type of electrolyte, the pH of the solution, the temperature, and the structure of the chemical magnet. The results obtained can contribute to the creation of devices where chemical energy is directly converted into kinetic energy of motion.
