since knife blades are typically steel would it be possible to

In theory a strong enough electro-magnet should do the job, the problem is that it will not be man portable due to the power requirements.

the magnet in the video has a 200kg pull force and weighs 1.5 kg

If you could come up with a portable MRI machine that poops out about 0.5 to 3 Tesla's, then you can really bend the shit out of reality for anyone its pointed at (vertigo, hallucinations, dizziness)
Oh, they also won't have a knife, or fillings, or earings etc

>>33960085
Then it will just boil down to who has a better grip. What if the knife wielder furiously masterbates twenty times a day and has the thumb strength of hulk? What if he's also a neckbearded fatass, the combination of these attributes mean you get pulled to him if you manage to hold onto the magnetic baton. Which, you are now in range for the smell of such man to incapacitate you.

1.5kg at the end of a baton is a lot of weight... but 200kg is probably more force than necessary.
>>33960118
It doesn't need to run for very long, does it.
>>33960276
Give it a nice secure grip. Also, the baton will get drawn towards the knive and probably hit it in the process, so the impact will weaken his grip.

>>33960409
Doing it at range means that the magnet has to be way stronger (plus there's tons of other shit it will attract). NOT a good idea.

Lead will disarm a knife wielding opponent.

Thread hijack inbound...

Anyone use magnets to conceal firearms around their residence? What kind of magnets are you using and how are you mounting them?

*Sounds of tearing*

>>33960085
any baton will already do that, you just hit them in the knife hand/wrist/arm

>>33960085
If anti-steels were commonplace, wrongdoers would get ceramic knives.

>>33960518
I knew a chick who had (way too many) piercings in the face, she went to work at one of those scrap dealers with the big magnetic crane.
No worries as Stainless Steel is non-magnetic thanks to the alloy composition.

So... you want a device that will send a knife flying toward your body at high speed and at an unpredictable angle?

What could possibly go wrong?

>>33960859
Do you not understand how magnets work?
The knife would be drawn to the baton.

>>33960913
It is if you have a strong enough electromagnet. Most stainless alloys are more like "reduced magnetism" than completely nonmagnetic.

It's easier and more fun for police to just murder people.

well it's a baton, you beat the guy with it and disarm him in the process. If you're lucky the knife will latch on point-forward so your baton becomes a tomahawk

Some stainless steels commonly found in knives are in fact magnetic you dumbfuck manchild.

>>33960890
as long as the force is enough to stop the knife. lets say he throws it. he dosent have to throw hard, it aims right at you, and if it was heavy enough, itll pass the magnet anyways

In the short answer: no.
More detailed answer: A magnet is unfeasible because you'd need a dense fuck-off magnet that would weigh more than you would care to have on your person. Such a magnet could also upset any electronics in your pocket because said dense magnet would have to be considerably powerful either naturally or through electrical means. You're better off learning martial arts, getting a gun, or knowing dirty fighting tricks to deal with a knife fag instead of a brick of metal to lug around or lots of wires.

The problem is a magnet that strong would be more dangerous to the person holding it

also very strong magnets are super brittle and could not withstand impact

look at how difficult to move and the safety precautions needed to handle this thing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvyWGq3fn7k

>>33967453
Magnets in general can't stand impact because regularly sustained impact interferes with the magnetic charge that pulls metal.

>>33967534

They aren't that weak. I work with rare earth magnets most days and you can throw them accross the room and stick them to doors without breaking. Mostly.

Also, a baton with a few 50x20x10mm magnets would stick well without being too heavy.
