@iro_miya@mk.absturztau.be more seriously, there has to be some level of magnetic field that'll pull it straight out right? what order of magnitude are we talking? apparently not "mri", but would what I suggested here do it?

@syn@plasmatrap.com @iro_miya@mk.absturztau.be@mk.absturztau.be even an MRI can not 'just pull it out'. an MRI has 0.5-3T (Tesla). W7-X stellarator has 3T, ITER tokamak 5.3T; DEMO is proposed to have 5.7T. MagLab holds records with their research magnets: - 45T hybrid magnet with operating temp of <=1.8K (requires He (liquid) cooling) - other, high temperature all superconducting magnet with operating temp of <=4.2K; 32T - 100T pulsed magnet magnets over 100T exist but they destroy themselves from use due to lorentz forces; according to Helmholtz-Zentrum. Unless you find yourself inside an active fusion reactor or sneak through fourty centimetre thick lab safety doors, you'll probably be fine. RE: https://plasmatrap.com/notes/asu0qa22b5

@syn@plasmatrap.com I don't know, I have no idea how magnets really work I have to admit, so idk if the maximum pull force caps or not
