How to create a monopole magnet!

[Yucca]

Hi GB,

Monopole... My thought on possible DIY construction is this; make two hemispherical cup magnets, one pole on the inner surface and one on the outer. Then bond them together with iron powder loaded epoxy trying to get the interface join as narrow and true as possible, maybe grind the hemisphere edges on a flat glass plate using cutting compound. Now you have a hollow sphere magnet, one pole within and one pole without, with minimal reconnection loops.

if it is impossible to magnetise the hemispheres so that fields are constrained to each surface then a pseudosphere could be made using flat plate magnets (pole on each flat side) ground into pentagons using lots of water cooling to prevent degausing. Then these are assembled like soccer ball panels again using iron loaded epoxy. The edge grinding would need 3D joining consideration.

P.S.
Of course a true atomicly based monopole would be more exotic.

What about this.  As the metal is cooling, spin the metal on what will be it's magnetic axis through the stationary external magnetic field at a high speed.  The homopolar generator suggests that when a magnet is spinning on it's axis, the magnetic field is stationary and does not spin with the magnet.

This may cause the electron's spins to be in sync with each other after the metal cools to room temperatures.  Just throwing out ideas.

An electron must rotate 720 degrees in order to see it's same face.  I believe this is the reason for magnets having a dipole, because each electron inside the magnet is not showing it's same relative face at any moment in time, thus they are not in sync with each other and have a return path to the other side.  When their same relative faces are all in sync with each other and showing their same faces at any moment in time, then there will be no return path to the other side of the magnet, thus giving the affects of a monopole magnet.  Just a thought.

Drugs may do you some good.  You're statement is a total distraction to the current discussion.
