I used to work for an oil field tool company a while back and we used to “charge” AlNiCo magnets by placing them in a jig that had a coil. You placed the slug into the aperture and pressed a button that started a small timer circuit that applied a magnetic field to “charge” the slug. Before you charged them you couldn’t even pick up a paperclip, it would stick but didn’t have enough power to pick it up. After the process was done (about 10 seconds) they would hold around 25 # I don’t remember how many gauss it was (about 16 years ago) but it was pretty high. I have also seen the magnet zappers for 540 sized motors they have 2 laminated steel poles that are cut to allow a motor (with the can) between the poles and press a button that starts the machine. When I asked about them I got “it works great” but when I asked exactly how it worked I got blank stares. It looked like a big electromagnet.
