Has anybody done any work with electromagnets attracting non-ferrous metals? One of the kids in the neighborhood is asking about how one would do this. She wants to do a science fair project on this.
I've heard of the concept. But my understanding of the physics is dim. It's not something that comes up in engineering school or anything I have ever had to work on.:?
Mostly I am looking for some references to get me started. Judging from previous years projects, my part of this will be to get her aimed in the right direction for the research. Oh yeah, I'll need to learn enough to answer the questions that I'm sure will be coming.
She has a 1951 pamphlet from Universial Scientific Company, it doesn't give enough of the physics to do the calculations.
I'm off to work Monday, but I'll be able to check in next week. Any help will be graciously appreciated.
