Let me start by saying I have no degrees in anything. I am currently studying for electrical engineering in my freshman year of college.
I wanted to know how well newer vending machines prevent against newer types of attacks. I want to see if I can make a proof of concept, or learn why my idea wouldnt work. My idea is as follows:
I have a theoretical vending machine, and I want to get whatever it is out of the machine without opening it, like a normal person would. It's encased completely in metal, and the objects are protected internally until the spiral bar that most vending machines have turns to dispense it.
I wanted to know if I could use a heavy enough duty inductor or copper wire coil, if this could activate the motor that controls the spinning spiral bar.
Would it be possible to make a proof of concept of this? I understand that steel and a few other metals would absorb the energy and heat up, but if it isn't entirely steel, could enough energy get through and turn to dispense an item? I apologize for not knowing exact values, like what power specs the motor would run at. And don' worry about how much coiling or inductors I need, since I live next to an engineering building, as well as any additional parts required.
Thanks for checking me put, as this is my first post I've made so far, and thanks for taking the time to respond or at least read this far. Have a great day!
