Hello,
I would like to know if it is possible to do the following:
I have a 1/4" diameter x 1/8" thick neodymium magnet recessed approximately 1/8" down into a plastic mold. A piece of steel is attached to the top of the plastic mold, held in place by the magnet. I would like to mount a tiny electromagnet on top of the magnet (or in the space between the top of the magnet and the top of the mold) so that when the electromagnet is activated it repulses against the neodymium magnet and allows the piece of steel to be pulled away. I understand that the steel would be attracted to the activated electromagnet, but my hope is that the attraction would be minimal and that the steel could be released without much work.
Will this work? Thank you.
