Magnet shielding and angles

[Low-Q]

I made some drawings and I hope you see the point. I can't say if this works, but I can say that the shield can freely rotate around the magnet without any sticky spots IF THE MAGNET AND THE SHIELD ARE ALL ALONE!

However, the question remains if the shield is affected by the ball and refuse to rotate. Anyway here is my idea of the three positions.

I tried to simulate this in FEMM, but FEMM cannot simulate magnetpoles that is pointing "out of the computer screen" as seen in the pictures above. Do anyone have a simulator which can perform tests on the idea above?

I didn't realized what makes the shield rotate. Gravity?

Hi All
I tried that,and it's no suprise that the shield is repelled in the presents of a piece of iron,unfortunately.

No, the idea is to use a gear. But @petersone made a simulation with the results in the post above. Too bad, but no surprise
