A wiki summary (secondary; written by the wiki, not by Gardi) of Lori Anne Gardi's video "On The Fractal Nature of Magnets (and the universe).", FractalWoman channel, 19 April 2020: - Instrument: "a homemade gauss meter — a Hall sensor and voltmeter", from "Carrie of the Good Vibrations channel, who devised the experiment originally". Controls: always the south pole, the same sensor face, almost all N42 neodymium magnets. - Results as summarised: maximum surface reading 1.44 V for a 1 in x 1 in cylinder, for a 2 x 2 x 1 in magnet, and for 5 mm magnets; she locates "the zero, the dielectric inertial plane" down the side. - "Testing Wheeler on magnet strength": Wheeler "had implied in his videos that a stronger magnet of the same size would have a greater throw"; her conclusion is that grade "makes no difference to either the surface reading or the distance at which a given reading is found; what determines a magnet's throw is its size. Wheeler's claim, on her measurements, does not hold." Followed three days later by "Ken Wheeler Says the Darndest Things" with a ball-bearing test. - She keeps Wheeler's vocabulary ("dielectric inertial plane", "pressure gradient").

Bearing

Claims 2 and 6: a third-party measurement (with a stated instrument and controls) by a researcher broadly sympathetic to Wheeler. The surface-reading result also bears on claim 4's idea of fixed field boundaries as fractions of magnet size. The numbers are from a wiki summary; the video is the primary source and was not watched.
