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?
Thanks, Butch LaFonte, The LaFonte Group

I would like to try and build some of these.
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
