When I was a kid my Dad made a magnet charger with some electrified copper coils would this be something that could be used to achieve similar results somehow? TIA (i.imgur.com)

Any strong magnet can magnetize other things, depending on the material. Iron can be relatively easily be magnetized, while neodymium magnets require a huge (but obtainable) field.

That looks like a big electromagnet, from a motor, it will probably work, but you have to feed it DC, not AC. (Or else the object will be demagnetized when removed)

Thank you for your insight! I am getting closer!
