@andrewt In the X-Men films, Magneto escapes from prison when one of his guards gets an iron injection from Mystique. How many tesla must Magneto be able to generate?

    @bencurthoys should be able to get an upper and lower bound on this — he needs more iron than a human body normally has, but less than that plus this one syringe although i gather the field *gradient* also matters but we can presumably model him as a solenoid?
