Hi there,
Was going to buy an electromagnet then I thought why not just make one. After hours of reading and YouTube videos I realized that I needed more information specific to the project. Then I found this forum and thought why not ask people who have already done it .
I am creating art using metals in molten glass. I am hoping to create magnetic lines in the glass. The magnet will be exposed to temperatures outside of the kiln at no more than 100C.
There is a 2 inch insulated gap between the magnet and the glass
I have a low carbon steel circular bar 12 inches in length
A 12 volt car battery
My question is what are the options for wire gauge and number of turns to maximize the magnetic field?
