It is a free distribution, and that is quite astonishing, I think.

Ultimately, even the average TC nut is going to need a DC charging choke, 
and they are said to be difficult to design, so why not?

I used it to document the B-H curve of construction steel with a carbon 
content of max.0.16%.
That is steel as mild as it gets over here, and since the litterature of 
yore calls out for mild steel, I wanted to investigate, wether there is a 
contemporary equivalent.
I built that magnet and measured it out. FEMM and reality mached.

I was a loudspeaker nut.
