Not sure I could make a hand-held unit, the batteries might have to be a bit large... An introduction to the idea: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy_current_brake I'm glad you put the word magnet in quotation marks. Quote

She almost bled out the second time, took her to ER and they pumped 4 pints into her, along with a liter of saline just to get her on the dipstick. I dropped her at the ER door, parked, an hurried in. In the 3 minutes that took they had her in a room and had blood and saline going. "How did you even walk in?" they asked her. Got her stabilized and did a partial hysterectomy on her. 1 3 Quote

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted January 16 Posted January 16 An immigrant to America is working as a pushcart vendor Things are going terribly for him so he is always on the lookout for something better . One day he hears that the local supermarket is looking for a new janitor. Thinking that steady income, less hours, and not waiting for non existent customers in the cold, heat and rain is a major step up, he applies for the job .He is about to wrap things up and take the job when the manager suddenly asks him “Do you know how to read and write in English?” He sadly says no and the offer is withdrawn. He goes back to his pushcart and somehow makes it big. His pushcart business turns into a large retail business. One day as a now wealthy business man he needs a loan to expand his business even further. He still can’t read English so he takes someone along to read to him the loan documents. The loan officer says “If you made it so far without knowing how to read or write ,can you imagine where you would be if you did?” “Sure” answer the wealthy businessman. “If I knew how to read and write I would be the janitor in the local supermarket!” 4 2 2 Quote

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted January 19 Posted January 19 A woman walks into a pharmacy and tells the pharmacist she wants to buy some strychnine. The pharmacist says “That’s a very deadly poison. We can’t just hand it out to anyone. Why do you need it?” The woman responds “To kill my husband.” To which the pharmacist replies “I don’t know if you are joking or not, but I cannot sell you strychnine.” The woman opens her purse, takes out a photograph, and hands it to the pharmacist. The photograph is of the woman’s husband in bed with the pharmacist’s wife. The pharmacist looks at the photo, then hands it back to the woman and says “Sorry. I didn’t realize you had a prescription.” 2 1 2 Quote
