    Some of the modern white painted floresent ballasts have a row of 7/8th square steel plates in them, heaps as they are stacked.



    You need a chisle to break apart the iron core, first you have to peel the backing plate off, then break it apart.

    You also end up with about 100gms (1/5th Lb) Copper wire in the common largish ballast.

    They can be used as 'Tiles'. Its easy to lay them out and spraypaint them.
