edit: I discovered coils aren't built how I was imagining. i think if this idea worked at all, it would just result in a very weak coil.
Hello all, I just found this website a few minutes ago while watching some youtube videos of Rodin coils and magnets.
Does anyone have any theories on what might happen with this half baked idea?
A coil is assembled using a tube filled with conductive ferrofluid as the wiring.
Something like this could work for the tubing:

"FEPs chemical resistance and dielectric properties are equal to PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene)."
I am ignorant as to what any of this means, so I looked up "dielectric"... A dielectric is an electrical insulator that may be polarized by the action of an applied electric field. When a dielectric is placed in an electric field, electric charges do not flow through the material, as in a conductor, but only slightly shift from their average equilibrium positions causing dielectric polarization.
