  • Nice idea for quick disposal but try combining gravity of the earth with the magnetic field force in the solenoid that way it might do the job in possibly 3 hits.

     

    I'll work on this on my own and find a result on my own and post maybe a video to it , til then you do the math stuff and principle testing on it and let me know. image

    (Poor in Math) lol image

     

    Place the solenoid magnet above and the can below.

    The more the height the more potential it has right.

    And when thrown by the solenoid onto the can the greater the force due to gravity.

     

    And maybe TADA the can gets CRUSHED!!! image (MUAHAAHAHAHAHAHA) image

     

    Try this principle maybe it might work.


    I dont know about this stuff much in details but you do.

     

    So Enjoy!!!

     

    Take care guys image
