Flynn Research Inc's research is focused on the application of permanent magnet and electromagnetic technology. Magnetism is a field that has potential for tremendous growth from both a science and application perspective. We feel that magnetism is one of the least understood and most misinterpreted of the natural forces, with the exception of gravity. Even though much work has occurred in the advancement of magnetic materials, little advancement has occurred in the basic understanding of magnetism. The field of magnetism is based on both theory and 'myth' and is generally described as a 'phenomenon'. We still do not know what a line of flux is and how it travels through space. We know flux 'appears' to originate within a permanent magnetic material, forms a loop from one end to the opposite end of the magnetic material, appears to occur without a time constant, produces a force (attractive and repulsive) between other permanent magnets and 'magnetically permeable materials and has a relationship to current flow. Everything known about magnetism is based on 'effect and relationships' without a clear understanding or provable definition of what is a line of magnetic flux
