careful use of different materials should help there. If nonmagnetic
objects are affected just as much as magnetic ones then it kinda rules them
out.

Set up the apparatus sideways.

But cool :-)
Though even if it does turn out to be real, it's probably not useful for
much yet if you have to use such incredible amperages to achieve slight
effects.
