Here we have a board with a copper pipe inserted through it. Around the copper pipe are clippings of steel wool. Then a magnet is passed through the copper pipe so that we can see the effect of the magnet on the steel wool. There are 12 neodymium magnets, ½ in. diameter by 1/8 in. thick. The copper pipe is 10 in. long by ½ in. inside diameter. The board is pine, but who cares about that. Thanks for watching.
