I was just thinking that if you got an old E-I tranformer core, cracked it
in half 
long the laminations so it wasnt so deep, and simply slipped the magnets
onto the ends 
of the I, and then stuck that to the E you would end up with a very intense
field in 
the resulting gap in the middle - if anyone can follow, i'll try my hand at
ASCI art:

the only problem might be saturation of the core - but even so the field is
gonna be 
something phenomenal, just dont drop a screw...

just an idea
