I suppose you could use a high COF material and use acid-etching to make the metal surface porous. Or am I making this problem larger than it is?

If I remember correctly from the explanation given to me at 2002 Nationals, the toroids are polished metal, and it works flawlessly. Very high Mu, they told us
