I was thinking about a copper-plated iron wire.  They use this for the center conductor wire in some RG-6 co-axial cable.  The copper for the conductivity and the iron for the magnetic attraction.  The losses shouldn't be much different than a normal solid copper wire and the iron should be easy to saturate.

I have some copper-plated iron wire from the center wire of a RG-6 coaxial cable and it has a fairly good amount of magnetic attraction from a small single piece of wire.  We can't use the center wire from the RG-6 coax because it has no outside insulation after you strip the bare wire.  I'm using the coax as an example only.

The ideal case would be a wire with an inner core made of a soft iron, then a thin coating of insulation, then copper with another thin insulating material over this copper.

Hi Guys,

I think we should look at controlling the pulse.

Rather than rely on the H/E sensor or Reed switch, we should use this pulse to trigger a 555 and set the width of the coil pulse.

This would allow for more fine tuning.

I know that with the H/E sensor, you can back it away and adjust the coil pulse or even place it on a slight angle.

Using a 555 should allow us to have total control of the pulse. see this guys PWM at allt-nrg.

Regards, Penno

  Hi TK ! I just seen your orbette 30! ... I am one of the followers (up to now silently) reading this forum and rejoycing on  the "about to happen" (I hope) paradigm shift that Steorn's, your's and all the other replicating / investigating people in here (including the other ideas, like the tpu replication from agentgates) are trying to achieve.

I just wanted to say to you and  everyone that is actually replicating and investigating the concept behind Steorn's demo. Congratulations, man!! Cheers!. Excellent work!.

Now, just a side note. Can you find a way to do exactly the same but without the timing / Switching circuit powered by the external 9v battery. I think that for a replication it would be necessary to erase that "variable". Maybe you can grab again the reed concept (I know it sucks, but is mechanical / magnetical) from steorn ?

salute! Enrique.
