Super simple way to see proof Pseudo Solid principle works using ring magnets

[gammarayburst]

Please look at the attached drawing of a directional magnetic material I have come up with and please give your opinion on these questions I have.
1. Notice that if the material is 6 inches long that half of it is non-ferromagnetic and that part of it has close to the same ability to conduct a magnetic field as air.
2. Now notice that bar A is only 3 inches from the magnet and 1/2 inches to the side of the directional material bar. That means that the magnetic field would have 3 & 1/2 inches to travel to bar A and only 2 inches of air to travel through. But to travel to B it has 6 inches to travel and half of that, 3 inches, is air.
3. Do you agree that the field of the magnet will take the path of least resistance and go to bar A?
If this is the case then this will make the Pseudo Solid effect work!
Thanks, Butch LaFonte

I'll have to think on it.

The flow of magnetic energy  under some conditions behaves in
ways similar to an electric current.  Electric currents don't simply
take the path of least resistance.  An electric current divides between
paths in proportion to the electrical resistance of those paths, in accordance
ohms law and kirchoff's law.   

Under the conditions in the drawing the magnetic "current"  should
I think,  divide between both bars A and B, with most of it circulating
through the nearest bar.

I agree Floor. This is a game changer I feel. I believe the closer A gets to the directional material, the less field will go to B.
This opens up a new realm of Pseudo Solid designs.
This directional material could be built at home using square washers with a non-ferromagnetic material of the same thickness placed between the steel washers. I'm going to start on a test fixture today.
Thanks, Butch
