The analysis of the obtained data showed that the presence of ferromagnetic properties in the moved fragments makes it possible to ensure their direct ac- celerated motion in an electromagnetic field. In this case, the flight speed of larger particles made of steel (nuts, washers) turns out to be higher than that of cast iron shot or iron powder. This can be explained by their higher magnetic permeability. Moreover, the greater the mass of the object, the higher the achieved speed. Moving of aluminum disks (non-magnetic, but with high elec- trical conductivity) in a PEF also takes place. In this case, there is an interaction of eddy currents in the disk and currents in the inductor. This opens up the pos- sibility of moving various discrete materials into the PEF, regardless of their electrical conductivity and magnetic properties, placing them on a pallet made of aluminum or other highly conductive materials.
