Looks like you will be cold.
I have played with a high magnetic field super conducting magnet and pieces of non-magnetic metals. As you put a piece of aluminum into the field it feels like you are pushing it into a slot (it does not easily rotate). Do the same thing with copper and the slot is tighter and the force to rotate it is greater. If you take a piece of copper (1” X 1” * 1/8”) and set it on edge in the field at a slight angle it will fall over very slowly as if in a viscous material like honey.
