ElecroMagnet

You can always use a flat type lithium battery in conjunction with a boost converter to reduce the overall thickness. else you can take very small lithium batteries like the 052030 and series two of them to get somthin around 8.4V, which would be the maximum voltage for two batteries in series, and the minimum would be 6V.

That sounds fine, but the thickness of the electromagnet, being 20 -21mm, would still be in use, as the holder for the 9v is 17mm, . :-) As say Yous idea be great if could just reduce the thickness of the electromagnet. Ahh in reality think i may be pushing the ambition of the project little too far :-)  

Did see  information regarding EMP`s, but not keen on idea of blitzing electronic gear etc..

Best wishes my friend. 

after a few google searches the smallest i could find was of 20 mm(as you have said), i think you need to come up with a different idea altogether. 

As say the props im making can justify the size to discuise the EM and electrics, so really no big issue to be honest. Reality think was being a little to ambitious :-) You see something then mind is all over in what could be done, in reality sometimes may not be accomplished.

I am not sure but you could check a strong small solenoid inductor without the flenger. May work.

An electromagnet is a type of magnet in which the magnetic field is produced by an electric current. Electromagnets usually consist of wire wound into a coil. A current through the wire creates a magnetic field which is concentrated in the hole, denoting the centre of the coil.

Have the idea on how the electromagnet solenoid works. Using the inner iron core will magnify the field strenght significantly i know this. Was looking at an alternative without using an iron core, such as ferrite, but  doubt will get the flux needed. Being a bit ambitious in 1`s thinking, is having as per pic. many purhasable electromagnets come this way, inner and outer is of a magnetic material (steel/iron etc) as there will be a neodymium magnet placed over the top, once the voltage applied to the core the opposing force will tip the neodymium magnet. But the electromagnet being a magneticmaterial the neodymium magnet  will just adhere to it.

 Hope this clarifies what trying to achieve, as copper non magnetic. 

Hello
