shielding ...all in the shielding...

Well, I'm not saying magnetic shielding would not work. But I also think various types of permanent magnets could work too. Now, I'm talking about fairly complex arrangements. What if the stator had magnets below and above the rotor? Sort of like this....

Wouldn't work...play with some permanent magnets...If there is one thing I have learned...all magnets want to do is balance themselves...to equally distribute field strength...they will find the point of least resistance and stay there.  Have you played with any magnets yet?  Magnetic fields are not able to "control" themselves...they just react.

i guess if you're talking about electromagnetic then i think they possibly have "control" over them selfs.

Konduct I think we are definately on the same wavelength here, I have tried hundreds of experiments and the outcome is always the same- sticky spot, balanced forces, you cannot get around this as far as I know. If you can shield the "B" field basically any configuration of magnets can work, no tuning or setup really , it works first and every time. Just lately I have found some very promising ways to shield a magnetic field, the best I have ever come across.
1) paramagnetic/diamagnetic laminate shield- combination of materials in repulsion and attraction in the same instance, leading to neutral characteristics. As well redirecting laminate shields have been around a long time-thin metal shields seperated by an air space. The bigger issue here is eddy currents- no eddy currents means the shield moves unhindered into and out of the permanent magnetic field.
2) weak magnetic shield- take the material used on the back of refrigerator magnets, it is a weak magnet, thus it will block stronger magnetic fields, but it will become polarized so you alternate between n-s-n-s poles to keep the field neutral. There is one thing you learn with magnets after hundreds of experiments- a permanent magnet is a permanent field-everything else is not. Other than another magnet or electromagnet nothing will act the same.
