Default artificial gravity a different idea...maybe?

Hi Folks
Just joined the group for the purposes of posting an idea.

I have been doing a little reading today about artificial gravity and
haven't seen magnetism mentioned at all. This may sound stupid but couldn't
the floor of a spacecraft be magnetized and the crew wear suits that would
be attracted to that floor?

It would be more practical in a spacestation, which runs on photovoltaic,
cause the electro magnetic floor would be a drain on electricity.

Please let me know what you think.
