Two magnetic yokes may be configured with spiral profiles. A first magnetic yoke of the two magnetic yokes may be disposed proximate to the first side of a substantially disc-shaped magnet, wherein the substantially disc-shaped magnet defines a cavity approximately at its center. A second magnetic yoke of the two magnetic yokes may be disposed proximate to a second side of the substantially disc-shaped magnet, wherein the second side is opposite the first side. Magnetization may be induced in the substantially disc-shaped magnet via activating the two magnetic yokes. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An apparatus comprising: two magnetic yokes configured with spiral profiles, wherein: a first magnetic yoke of the two magnetic yokes is disposed proximate to a first side of a substantially disc-shaped magnet, wherein the substantially disc-shaped magnet defines a cavity approximately at its center;
