Is it possible to create an electromagnet to pull itself to Earth?

[Ghostxodus]

TL;DR

I want to know if it is possible to create an electro magnet that can pull itself to earth. Not just using gravity but create more weight if you know what I mean.

I am not a physicist by any means I just have this question that has been on my mind for a while and if anyone can help me with that it would be great. If it can be done I would like to try and attempt to do it. Some My goal is that it has to be like under 500lbs and be able to triple or quadruple its weight. While trying to use less than or equal to 1470997.5 jules. Thanks.

If your standing over ground that happens to be ferromagnetic, then yes, the electromagnet will try to pull the ground up and itself down. Otherwise, you'll have to put something in the ground for the electromagnet to pull on - like a ton of steel.
