https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x728wd9The above design I call "MagnetShield1"
Is a design in which, when I came back to it / tried it again on my bench
several months after my first round of looking into it...
It didn't work out well, at all....
I thought I was either loosing my mind or...
something....
I declared the design a bust / no go on this forum (another topic) at that
point in time. I even pulled the original video off line...
Turns out that my shielding magnet had radically altered itself in the interim time period
between my original examinations and that second much later, round of examinations
How ?
The shield magnet element of the design I used (still am using) was actually two magnets
that I glued together, edge to edge.
Those magnets are wafer shaped and the poles are on the broad faces.
When pressed together at their edges the two magnets could be oriented as either in
repulsion or as in attraction.
Either a N to N and a S to S meeting at the edges or
a N to S and a S to N meeting at the edges.
In this design, the shielding magnet is done out of two magnets edge to edge while
repelling each other ( N to N and S to S).
This was done not by intentional design, but rather because of improvisation.
I did not have a single magnet of the physical dimensions I needed. So I combined
two magnets with glue.
I realize that this results in a field shape that is distorted into something other than
that shape which a single magnet will produce. But I do not consider this as
having significantly impacted the out comes.
What did seriously impact those out comes, was the long time period during which
the two magnet remained glued to each other in repulsion.
One of the magnets dominated the other and significantly weakened it.
This in turn totally wrecked the force balancing required for effective
redirection / neutralization of the magnet forces !
After figuring all that out, I posted the original video on line again ( a long time ago), but it is
at a different link (can't do anything about that). And guess what. It really does kick ass.
