I need help building a demagnetizer. As far as I know, I can demagnetize a steel part by passing it slowely through an alternating magnetic field. So I want to make a large solenoid by wrapping wire around a large cardboard tube and then passing the part through it. But I don't know enough about...
I am a machinist and know next to nothing about electricity
and nothing about magnetism. I have a very valuable surface
grinder chuck, a 6x4x20 inch piece of laminated steel and
brass which has become magnetized. I would like to demagnetize it by passing it through a 10-12 inch diameter...
