The Br for grade N50 is 14500, IIRC. Even with Alnico the Beyer N260 field is 0.6T--and those are small suckers. I measured 0.82T for 1/4"x1/4"x1" over 0.064"...
Hi, I didn't ask, maybe you could mail to Uwe to check? Id imagine a spice simulation followed by some winding or matching to a comercial transformer would...
