Good point you have there.

I was referring to Vidars statement, a magnet could not be turned on and off. You can turn the ferromagnetism of metal on and off by using the curie temperature. For example I have some Gadolinium here, with a Curie Temp of only 16? Celsius (this is about room temperature). (Tesla had a patent on such a Termomagnetic motor). But this thing is highly inefficient, a lot of heat energy is required, and the demagnetisation is very slow. Maybe there are other ways, less energy consuming ways. Maybe some egg-of-columbus trick must be used. Everything is allowed, no rules there.

hmmm the question is if the material is still shielding the field on curie temperature
if it does there is need to keep the area on the temperature, thats probably what you meant with a lot of heat energy

Is there a translator out there so that we know what he's saying?
Thanks

About shielding, there is no matter on this planet that will shield magnetism. The properties of such material, like iron, is a good conductor of magnetism. Any such shield will therfor guide the magnetism through it and get magnetized itself and destroy the whole benifit of shielding - because the shielding material is attraced to the magnetism. If it just was so simple that we could make a shadow from the magnetic field - like partially blocking the light from the sun - if so, I agree that 80% of all attempts would work. Magnetism is however not radiant energy but a potential that cannot be reflected, nor shielded, so no shadow can be made. The magnetism is pure static force. Regardless of positioning, guiding of magnetic forces or anything else for that mater, still magnetism isn't energy like a force in motion by itself. It is static. WE must move that force to convert our motion into kinetic energy - but then the whole point with a free energy magnetic device is gone.

Keep thinking though. Maybe one day....
