- Try LAYERS of steel, with significant AIR GAPS between each of the steel
- sheets. And have the layers closest to the source of magnetic flux be the
- thickest. This encourages the flux to remain within the steel, with little
- flux bothering to go thru the air to the next sheet; if you let the steel
- SATURATE, there is little benefit, so you need thick steel to confine the
- flux without saturating. What little flux does loop out, eventually hits
- the next layer. SInce the flux density is much weaker, you need thinner
- sheets to confine the flux. And the various AIR GAPS are obviously
- needed to encourage flux to move inside the sheets.

- Wonder if Faraday would have described it thusly?
