The plan right now is for the magnet to be held approximatly .1" off the surface of the pole. The calculations we have done so far show that we should have a force of approx. 20 Lbs of force pulling toward the pole.
Prototyping has yielded some interesting results, and some good insight as to what details we still need to address as well.
