Okay, got the recommended Magnet to try this out (but I am still on the fence about pulling the generator apart). I might leave it to my brother to F'up, especially if the other little magnets that ordered and place on the side work like I'd like them to!
All magnets have a saturation point, meaning they can only be magnetized so much, so I don't think you'd "over-magnetize" the magnet. From the pictures, it looks like the Alnico ends are about 1" long x 3/8" wide. You could try placing a BX066 or BX088-N52, one on either end, with opposite poles onto the horseshoe.
- Dimensions: 1" x 1/2" x 1/2" thick

- Surface Field: 5884 Gauss
- Max Operating Temp: 176ºF (80ºC)
- Brmax: 14,800 Gauss
- BHmax: 52 MGOe
These sturdy blocks are very strong for their size and must be handled with care to avoid being pinched between two of them. This size is useful for a wide range of magnetic applications.
