-
The energy difference between these states in a magnetic field depends on a number called the gyromagnetic ratio, or g-factor, of the electron, which basically tells you how big a magnet you get for a given amount of “spin.”

In spite of this neutralizing action, we are still left with an observable gyromagnetic effect that has double the magnetic strength for the same mechanical action.

It has long been realized that there are certain anomalies in magnetism evident in gyromagnetic reactions.

Larmor, this influence may be ascribed to a relatively slow precession movement on the part of the electron and the atomic nucleus around the field direction - a gyromagnetic effect most closely recalling the gyroscopic movement performed by a top when it spins around the vertical line.

But the electronic and nuclear spins are just as characteristic for these particles as are their electric charge and mass (the atomic weights), so that the deep import of a determination of their gyromagnetic indices becomes immediately obvious.

There are the electrical impulses, which encephalography had discovered in man even before Langley's time; there is a little heat; there is the subtler and more penetrating emission in the gyromagnetic spectrum.

'We tested with everything from Wheatstone bridges to computer problems, opened the gyromagnetic cell, nothing looks wrong.

But by tracing the electric currents and gyromagnetic fields with his mind, and applying logic, he got a notion of how to operate the thing.

But he had been using a highly original hookup including a gyromagnetic element, and his results - blurred dark rings and splotches on a photographic plate, nothing spectacular at all - were totally unexpected.
