In a long magnet, the center has less attraction force?

Eventually, I've even designed a solid state version of it. Tested in FEMM. Should work no problem. The problem is the cost, which I cannot efford right now - working on different project. If I fail, this one will be next. Hope my wife will understand

Why don't you contribute to this site and post your solid state design along with the FEMM files?  What is this other project you're working on that you're not sharing either?  Where are the threads for your projects?

Please start contributing to this site, instead of being a nuisance and dishing everyone else's ideas.  Oh, I forgot, you are trolling this forum and I shouldn't expect anymore from you, my bad.

What's your problem GB ? Why are you starting fight with me on every single thread I write something ? Who said I need to share my projects here ? If I decide to, I will do that and that's none of your business. So piss off.

I'll make a deal with you.  You ignore my posts, and I will ignore your posts.  Deal?  Otherwise, I'm not going to piss off because I've had enough B.S. from you.

If the steel ball is attracted to the pole, it would probably still be attracted to the pole even if the ball was in the middle of the magnet. That means the steel ball want to travel both ways equally - that means it will not work.

I think that maybe the resultant force of the ball being attracted  both ways equally (N and S) could be a vector in the direction of the exact middle of the magnet, what means that the ball can not go away from the magnet through a path perpendicular to the exact center of the magnet, because it will be attracted back, not in the direction of N or S, but in the direction of the middle.
