Planetary magnetic fields are both the main motivation for studying and the main evidence for flow in planets' cores. In a dynamo, the conducting fluid flow in an appropriate geometry will amplify and maintain a seed magnetic field. It is not well known what an "appropriate" geometry entails. In the presented work, we observe six different liquid sodium turbulent flows. The system is subjected to an external magnetic field pulse and the subsequent decay/growth of this seed pulse is measured to determine the failure/success of the dynamo. None of the attempts succeeded, but quantifiable progress was made toward dynamo action.
