Sorry for the tease subject, but I think I may be on to something.
First, something about me. In my other life, I am a potter. I dig up mud from the ground, shape it, glaze it, and make tableware.
I have a serious interest in the design and use of industrial furnaces and kilns, vacuum firing, special materials ETC.
That being said, it would not be too long a road to tool up to make custom ferrite cores, and with luck I could be able to produce repeatable results on call within a year or two.
So, what I am looking for is interest. Is there an interest in the radio and hobby electronics community for custom ferrites?
any shapes, sizes, frequency ranges that are difficult to get or heinously expensive?
Does anyone need anything that is not commercialy available?
if interest exists, I may seriously consider setting up to make custom shapes in small batches. if not feel free to tell me I am just letting my mind wander and that there is no point.
Thanks ---EC
