This completely wouldn't work.

You need to smear the bits around by moving the hard-drive "across/back n forth" the magnetic field.

Simply flinging it one way wouldn't do jack shit.vomit

There's also no way you'd have enough power from 40 car batteries to cover that distance.


Those magnetic cranes only work because they lower the magnet until it touches the car directly.


Complete silliness vomitvomit

You are not recovering data from shattered platters. That data is a goner. Look it up on the data recovery sites. And it really is surprisingly easy to shatter them. I've done it to see how much force it takes. A laptop flying across the room and crashing into the wall could shatter them. A drop will not.
