DIY Do-it-yourself, how to build your own Iron Powder toroids, bars or anything of this nature to be used for experimentation.

I am starting on my Solid State Generator, as I also continue to work on my Steorn Magnet Motor replication. The item that they both have in common... The use of a toroid. I actually needed to make some Iron powder bars for my upcoming Solid State Generator experiments and I also added some Nanoparticles to my bars for experimentation purposes. Stay tuned...

  • Quick question, what do these flux bars do exactly?

  • @paulthehanna

    When the iron oxide is mixed with the activated charcoal, it acts as a flux shield! In the sense that the flux becomes so dissapated by the 30,000 square feet of surface area, that a magnet on the back end of a thin bar would not feel the flux from the magneto on the opposing side. I think it would make great magnetic shielding.

  • Hi Bruce, well done,

    but wherefore do you need the activated charcoal ?

    Do you want to make your own ferrite bars and toroids ?

    Well, does the charcoal not make them too conductive and then you will have eddy current losses ?

    Also your focus of your camera was not good adjusted, all a bit blurry or is your camera defective ?

    Many thanks.

    Regards, Stefan.

  • Activated Charcoal has a surface area of 5,000 sq feet per gram. I have 30,000 sq feet of surface area in bar.

    It has some unique characteristics when used for magnetic flux.

    It might indeed create eddy current losses (unknown) . I am using them simply as a "magnetic flux" path for my SSG1 experiments. Only experimentation will tell. I can create my own iron powder bars, toroids, etc., for pennies and with custom shapes, and sizes. Sorry about the blur, needed to fit video hurt quality

  • Where you get iron powder

  • dude your video......get a new video recorder or something will ya

  • how do you know that the particles are lined up ? The reason toroids work so well is that they are made in a magnetic field so that the particles are lined up.

  • Bruce, Could I ask a favor of you? Could you put the leads of an ohm

    meter about an inch apart into a pile of iron oxide to see what the

    resistance is? This is without the charcoal. If the resistance is high,

    could we ask where we could purchase it?

  • I would like to try and build some of these.
