Hey Mr. Faraday, explain this! (theory)

Just curious. How could this be?
 
Pure speculation on my part, but similar to the way that soft iron will not hold it's magnetism as well as hardened steel. Seems the ceramic material has its magnetic domains locked firmly into a crystal latice whereas in iron, the domains are free to move about somewhat.
 
Hello Crossman,

Very interesting setup..let me put a twist to it (no pun intended),..

If you would have wound the primary on the 2 1/2 inch conduit on one end of it and the secondary on the other end then the conduit will become the path and induce secondary voltage more effectively.

Since you have perfect setup already made you may try this and let us know the results.
