    Don't see any quote button so Ed wrote "Any electrically conductive material will generate Eddy Currents when moved in a magnetic field. The result of these eddy currents is that they have a magnetic field associated with them (like all current flow does)." Gold is quite conductive. And...

    Whoops, accidentally gave the wrong guy a "Great post!". That was meant for Edstainless. Regardless, thanks ed for the helpful reply. Not so much to the other two. Must not actually be engineers. Anyway Ed, it sounds like you're on the same line of thought I'm headed down. I wonder if the...

What I'm looking to do, as add automatic windows to my 1987 Chevy Silverado Pickup. It came with...
