Well, when the rod was in it only read the flux value of the rod itself while the current was passing through. Without the rod, it was nonexistent. Yeah, I definitely messed up buying noncoated wire. 😅 Also, I'll try annealing it in the meantime because I do have some soft iron on the way.

Nice thanks for the web page that helps a lot!

Thanks! I'll try it out. I've just always had a hard time trusting eBay. 😅

Thank you all for your help!

Thank you for the link! I tried looking for it, but could not find it.

🤣

I am also wanting to find the right material for the core. I was trying to find a fully iron core, but all the stores around me only sell stainless steel. Will that work?

Just need to see what the name of this device is. Model number would also be helpful.

This is currently what it looks like.

I am a BSME student working on my undergrad and am just messing around with a few projects I think are cool trying to further my experience.

I am currently trying to create a linear induction motor for fun and am having some trouble getting it to start oscillating or move at all. I am using this video as a reference... I am using 3D printed PLA as the structure for the copper to wind around, 26 GA Craftware USA copper wire, 5/8"...
