This is an electric magnet removed from a magnetic motor start switch, operating from 110 volts AC.
I'm going to wire it through a foot operated switch. Once the power is cut the magnet does not retain any residule magnetism and drops what it is holding imediately.
As a bonus I recovered a few grams of silver from the contacts inside the switch.
