I need some help on a little electronics project I want to undertake myself. I plan on using an inductor coil to creat a magnetic field big enough to disrupt those security towers at the exits of stores. Now I just need to know how big the coil has to be and if it will turn the towers off or set the off from 50 feet away. Either way would work I just need to know what to expect.

So what I would need to know is:
1) How big of an inductor coil? If I had one of those motomaster Eliminator things so I could supply AC power how big would it need to be.
2) Do I just connect the coil to a plug and pop it into the eliminator? Or would potentiometers be involved in the fine tuning.
3) Would it actually work?

This is of course all theoretical and I would never think of stealing. Any help is appreciated!
