Experimental Methods in RF Design has a half-dozen pages specifically on the choices of powdered iron and ferrite materials, and lots of working circuits and designs with measurements. Aka EMRFD. http://www.arrl.org/shop/Experimental-Methods-in-RF-Design Here in the USA, iron powder and ferrite

Hi time-nuts, It's stupid question time. I want to observe the leap second next week using Lady Heather's interface. I just want to double check that if I set the option in Lady Heather to 'use UTC time' that the leap second will be visible on the large number clock. I am hosting a small party

Yes, for ferrites, many (all?) of the Amidon FT-xxx parts are perfectly standard Fair-Rite cores available from full-line distributors like Mouser, Newark, etc. Iron powder cores are not stocked by any of the standard distributors that I know of, but kitsandparts.com has good prices and quick

This brings up a wide range of possible topics. You first need to understand the physics, which is complex because magnetic fields interact with matter in more interesting manners than electric fields, due to spin and angular momentum. * Magnetic moment (spin and orbital angular momentum):
