Seems more to spin _counter_ clockwise, if at all ?

Hi I'm new here, but I know a thing or two about magnets. So what exactly is "a board type of thing" that would shield the magnetic field. Or more correctly shield the steel block from the magnetic field. If you were thinking of wood, aluminium, plastic, etc. it won't work. The magnetic field would penetrate straight through them. The only way I know of to shield a steel block from a magnet is to use a steel cover. The problem of course is that the steel cover being made form steel will be attracted to the magnet and having it there would be pointless. If there was a material that can act as a magnetic shield but is not affected by the magnetic field then this along with thousants of other devices would work.

p.s. when I said the magnetic field would penetrate through wood, what I mean is that the effect of the magnet on the field would penetrate. The magnet does not create a field, it simpy interacts with the field which is always everywhere around us. when you move a magnet you do not move the field but only the effect of the magnet on the field. It's not really relevant but i thought it was interesting.

Hi FreeEnergy!

Do you know pyrolytic graphite? Or bismuth... These are diamagnetic materials. Maybe a thick plate of one.

I never tested these materials myself, but I think this is not enough to decrease the magnetic force to the needed level. Perhaps it's useful for some improvements, if something begin to works.
So, I think the idea you drawed doesn't work. This is too simple to pass by thousands of people.
Anyway just try it for yourself, and see what happens with and without diamagnetic plates. It may be still intersting.


Best wishes, Greg
