Thanks for the comments the unify. I am getting some real strange effects from the metal sphere that I magnetized using this coil. When I put the magnetized sphere on top of a compass and rotate the sphere clockwise the compass needle turns counter clockwise. I'm going to have to study it more before I can give you any real answers. Sometimes magnetism is more complex than we understand. The possibility for a monopole is not ruled out. Also the possibility that magnetism is mediated by gravity, and the converse - that magnetism can be changed into gravity - is very intriguing and warrants further study.

DV, if you want to ask me a private question I would be obliged to have that conversation in private. My background is not the issue here, and furthermore it is bad manners to assume somebody is uneducated, profile or no profile. That having been said, I agree with you, an iron fillings test is warranted. Everything is as I have indicated by the compass needle. And to answer your question, the coil was run with a nine volt battery for approximately one week and the direction of current was clockwise in both coils.

One more thing is I figured out what you were talking about that they use in inductive amplifiers. That's a regular torroidal coil! The difference is mine is two torroidal coils that pass through eachother in the same plane forming ninety degree intersection points. Nobody has made a coil like this before. As I'm sure you know, the magnetic field of a regular torroidal coil is confined to within the torroid. Not so with this different coil. Further study is warranted.

cheers!
