This steady field, 35.1 T, is considerably lower than the record, 48.7 T, established at the National High Magnetic Field laboratory in Florida. That magnet used a combination of superconducting and normal conductor coils.
Was just mention the MagLab, which all the locals think controls the weather and keep hurricanes away, so much so they have to say it does not in the FAQ:
Interesting, I did not know that. Thanks for sharing!

Just for comparison, you can buy a 28 Tesla magnet that is stable over long times. Well, it's part of a 1.2 GHz NMR spectrometer, but I suspect it's the strongest magnet of that kind you can buy off the shelf.
These comparisons are often not quite fair and compare different things. The conversion to press releases tends to remove all nuance beyond "strong magnet".
