John,
You have not indicated the other variables that would be useful in this example. i.e. what was the length of the arm that was holding said hammer? Was it a full swing or just half a swing? What was the weight of the hammer wielder? What was the mcMaster part number for the hammer so others can verify your results? Enquiring minds want to know.
For my own archives did you test the magnetic field before and after the blow and did you measure the wiring resistance following the event? If you only measure the field of all the pieces swept into a pile that is better than nothing.
