Magnetic monopole

[quantumtangles]

I posted a thought about using bismuth arrays and neodymium magnets in the solid state physics section.

The thread was met by a rip-roaring silence.

So here it is in the correct forum. Apologies for the repetition.

Bismuth is strongly diamagnetic (creating a magnetic field only in response to externally applied magnetic fields).

It occurred to me that if any configuration of Bismuth and neodymium can perform useful work (for example a bismuth/neodymium sandwich with or without a dielectric) this could possibly be because it constitutes or behaves like a magnetic monopole (that enigmatic theoretically impossible magnet with no back emf).

By way of example, consider a capacitor built to store magnetic force in Tesla rather than charge in coulombs.

Thin layers of neodymium separated by layers of bismuth 'dielectric', all rolled together into a cylinder.

External magnetic fields would then be applied to the 'poles' of the capacitor from a distance sufficient to prevent the external magnetic fields cancelling each other out.

Or conventional electric charge could be applied to the terminals of the magnetic capacitor.

Could such a device store magnetic energy in mono-polar (or indeed in any) form?

I thought I would throw the idea into the arena to see what you think.

Again apologies for the repetition from the solid state physics section.

This kind of metal is cool stuff. But it does only "reverse" magnetic polarity in itself when approaching a magnet. It will unfortunatly not make a monopole - just "mirroring" the external magnetic field.
