Why didn't I think of that? Certainly an eurika moment!

This might have an unwanted effect on electrochemical corrosion.

Well, there go the power bills. When will North Korea demand sufficient excess power production capability to use this technology to moor their naval forces. Will a 1T magnet moor navel lint?

I've always been told to keep magnets away from computers and such....is this a problem?

I hope thay have back-up generators. If the power went out, the port could get a little hectic.
Pity the poor guy with a steel plate in his head on a cruise ship. He sleeps in, the ship docks, and his head sticks to the hull next to his pillow!

Of course the dockworkers union will require 5 people to flip the switch.

I invented an electromagnetic, rubber, portable patch to apply to a leak in a ships hull 12 years ago. Now that they have the magnets perfected it should gain intrest.

What do you get when you stick a chunk of iron into a magnetice field...Well you certainly would get a tranformer core...Then you would get some currents flowing... What is wrong with a nice big rope or steel cable??

>Montgomery points out that the Dutch magnetic system will use a lot of electricity and may be prone to power failures.
And there's the danger
that the Philadelphia
Experiment was
real, and these magnets
will transport the metal ships
through time and through space!

You may have to just forget ever using the magnetic compass again on a ship that has been docked with this magnet. A compass isn't a whole lot of good if it always points toward the bow!
