Not sure why you're bringing sugar into it, but I'm sure it has everything to do with the conversation.
To the nmr data, which I already mentioned, I stumbled across a manufacturer's manual for an NMR, that included a comparison between 300, 500, and 800 mhz. The 800 revealed a peak which was not observable with the 500 or 300. Someone even said I was trash talking the guy who did the test because I bring this up. (again, avoidance to the subject at hand) And that again is another plus to the direction that the diy nopox recipe is not at all based on a full set of data. If 500 MHz satisfies a person's requirement to FULLY identify a solution, again that's either a 'hopeful' solution, or a 'limitation' of tools. I consider it to be like comparing a 1000x vs a 2000x magnification under a microscope. Take off the blinders... lol. We surely don't know it all but you guys don't even want to contemplate the possibility you could be wrong. I almost want to go through old posts and see how many of you call vitamin c dosing an uncessary practice, because with the new data found via genome sequencing, you would be absolutely, completely wrong. But would you accept it and explore things, or just say 'it's all relative'. (relative to whether or not you're part of the discussion! lol)
So, for all things being equal (using the same sample and comparing the same resonances), S/N is proportional to (Bo new/Bo old)^3/2. So let's say you're going from a 500 MHz NMR to an 800 MHz NMR, your gain in S/N would be (800/500)^1.5=2.02. In other words, going from 500 MHz to 800 MHz doubles your sensitivity.

As we have discussed endlessly, you are simply misunderstanding the issues of interpreting NMR.
Absolutely, two peaks may fall very close together, and a stronger magnet will allow them to be separated. But a peak is not a compound. Perhaps you misunderstand that. It is a part of a fingerprint of many peaks with a given position and intensity for even a simple compound such as ethanol. You would need multiple overlapping peaks of the exact size to have an entire chemical hide behind the peaks of another. That is just not going to happen in such a simple spectrum with clear splitting patterns and well defined peaks.
A stronger magnet is VERY useful when you have lots of peaks close together. It is not particularly useful for the simple spectrum shown for NOPOX. That is why chemical researchers routinely use the much less expensive lower field magnets for everything except very complex issues.
