The magnet system is an essential component of the Kibble balance, a device that is used to realize the unit of mass. It is the source of the magnetic flux, and its importance is captured in the geometric factor $Bl$. Ironically, the $Bl$…
The Kibble balance is a precision instrument for realizing the mass unit, the kilogram, in the new international system of units (SI). In recent years, an important trend for Kibble balance experiments is to go tabletop, in which the…
Temperature changes affect the coercivity of permanent magnets, thereby impacting the $Bl$ factor and potentially introducing systematic errors in Kibble balance measurements. While the thermal-magnetic effect is negligible in large magnet…
Although the so-called magnetic geometrical factor, $Bl$, of a Kibble balance does not appear in the Kibble equations, it offers the precision link between electrical and mechanical quantities and furthers a quasi-quantum traceability path…
Yoke-based permanent magnetic circuits are widely used in Kibble balance experiments. In these magnetic systems, the coil current, with positive and negative signs in two steps of the weighing measurement, can cause an additional magnetic…
Employing very simple electro-mechanical principles known from classical physics, the Kibble balance establishes a very precise and absolute link between quantum electrical standards and macroscopic mass or force measurements. The success…
With the adoption of the revised International System of Units (SI), the Kibble balance has become a pivotal instrument for mass calibrations against the Planck constant, $h$. One of the major focuses in the Kibble balance community is…
The Kibble balance realizes the kilogram by linking mechanical and electrical quantities via a magnet system. In an improved BIPM-type magnet design by Tsinghua University, an open/close surface was incorporated, facilitating operation.…
The design of the permanent magnet system for the new Quantum Electro-Mechanical Metrology Suite (QEMMS) is described. The QEMMS, developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), consists of a Kibble balance, a…
Watt balances are used to measure the Planck constant and will be used in the future to realize mass at the kilogram level. They increasingly rely on permanent magnet systems to generate the magnetic flux. It has been known that the…
The magnet-moving measurement scheme in Kibble balances avoids displacing force-sensitive components, such as the weighing cell, and enables a broader magnetic profile measurement range during the velocity phase. However, this mechanism…
A Kibble balance measures the $gravitational$ mass (weight) of a test mass with extreme precision by balancing the gravitational pull on the test mass against the electromagnetic lift force. The uncertainty in such mass measurement is…
A tabletop-sized Kibble balance (KIBB-g1) designed to directly realize mass at the gram-level range with uncertainties on the order of parts in 10$^6$ has been developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The…
The ``Quantum Electro-Mechanical Metrology Suite'' (QEMMS) is being designed and built at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. It includes a Kibble balance, a Graphene quantum Hall resistance array and a Josephson voltage…
The UME Kibble balance project was initiated at the second half of 2014. During this period we have studied the theoretical aspects of Kibble balances in which an oscillating magnet generates AC Faraday voltage in a stationary coil and…
With the redefinition of the international system of units, the value of the Planck constant was fixed, similarly to the values of the unperturbed ground state hyperfine transition frequency of the $^{133}$Cs atom, speed of light in vacuum.…
Permanent magnets together with yokes to concentrate the magnetic flux into a cylindrical air-gap are widely employed in Kibble balances. These experiments require a uniform magnetic flux density along a vertical path, typically a…
This paper presents recent advances in the KBmini Kibble balance, a tabletop system for E2-accuracy mass calibration up to 1 kg. The $Bl(z)$ profile is characterized by manually setting the magnet at different vertical positions, and the…
Could the discrepancies found in the determination of mass in clusters of galaxies, from gravitational lensing data and from X-rays observations, be consequence of the standard description of the ICM, in which it is assumed hydrostatic…
In the joule balance developed at National Institute of Metrology (NIM), the dynamic phase of a watt balance is replaced by the mutual inductance measurement in an attempt to provide an alternative method for the kg redefinition. But for…
