Studying Shielding, needs some advice

[tak22]

Honk is correct, there isn't enough info in the Wardle/May patent to show how their shield will react with strong magnets.

The point I was making is that if you are serious about shielding, then you are going to have to look deep for things
that are not obvious. Virtually every 'common' material and combination has been tried over and over again by many
hopeful inventors. If a magic shield is possible it's going to be found in a pretty dark corner.

So maybe someone needs to get the coal slag, silver powder, silica powder, calcium, magnesium, zinc powder,
mix up a batch of super shield, and find out if this patent has any merit?

I was looking at the various parts to mix together, seems most of that stuff is available readily on the internet.  I have a hard time buying into to it after all the stuff I have tried already.

Last night I recalled that I had a jar of lead solder paste(ground up lead in a jar with some solution to hold it together as paste) that I use on  SMT PCB's.  I built a little rectangle with the paste into a block .5" x 2" x 4", and tested with neo's,  saw no result.

I may experiment with building a thin flat coil to act as a shield.  Set up a timing scheme using microprocessor to pulse the coil at precise timing based on an encoder on a shaft.  When the 'piston' is approaching, engage the coil to cause it to attract the piston, then either reverse the polarity when the piston is at it's closest or just allow the two opposing poles to repel the piston.

I have observed that holding two magnets in position opposing each other, so  that some pressure is felt, and then while holding the magnets is steady position while sliding one of the magnets inside a 2" round metal tube (I think it is tin tube, it attracts),  the magnets are allowed to be pressed closer together, as both magnets are attracting to the metal at the same time, there may be some trick to explore here.

Attached is a drawing, please test if you want to see if there is any usefulness, maybe even using two round tubes simultaneously will have an effect.  The thing is, if one magnet gets closer to the tube, it wants to stick to it, then the other magnet wants to slide over and stick to the tube.  If all magnets are held in position precisely, perhaps there is a method to use the effect.

Well spoken!

I find it myself a very interesting idea but I have seen no recorded replication of it.

I think two big question arise here;

Is the attraction to the shield less powerful than the repulsion of the two magnets?
Is sliding the shield up and down through the magnetic field like that easier than you had you to make it go left and right?

I prefer the first idea more because it's easier. You could make a round cylinder case with gaps on it's side to do what is illustrated.

Here's an edit of your image to make it more clear...

Hey they stole my ideas! 

Thanks for posting that, basically identical to what I wanted to do. The bottom movie shows that it works, but why has it not gone into production if it works as simple as that?  One image mentions mu metal.
