Magnetic Monopoles, Unobtainium and Magnetic Motors

[LibreEnergia]

I personally don't see that a "monopole" magnet is what we need. It seems to me that the "missing-link" that we need to ever accomplish a true magnetic-motor-self-runner is a magnetic "shield". Something that could be used to REALLY focus the lines of force (ie field) to a laser-fine focal point.  Until this is possible it seems to me that we will always "fight" the sticky-point at the gate.

A magnetic shield and a monopole magnet are synonymous. You cannot shield magnetism because the lines of force always link up between the poles. Producing a shield by breaking that symmetry would be the same thing as producing a monopole magnet.
