Magnet Shielding

Some say it is impossible to shield a magnet yet it seems I found a magnet Shielding material. I was told that it's called MU Metal

lol, the screwdrivers and computer blankoff plate were magnetized... so they only looked like they were not attracted on the matching polarity; notice how everything jumps away on the back side of the plate?

@harveyeaston

There are no tricks here. Had the screw driver, the screw and the blankoff plate been magnetized they would have stuck to the metal plate and not pushed away. The metal plate is sitting at an angle which is why things are falling off of them the way they do. I am not a trickster. I was amazed at what I found here and thought it could be of some use for an inventive mind. Find a throw away HD, open it, take out the parts & see for yourself.

It only warps the magnetic field, it doesn't block it. That's why on the MU metal side, when you've let go of an object, it gets repulse right off the table.

Yea it does look like some mysterious force dragged or pushed it off the table but I assure you that is not the case. it just fell off when I let go and just happened to slide off of the slippery table.

It doesn't shield a magnetic field, it diverts the field and makes the field strength very weak because the lines of force have been concentrated in the metal. It's very simple.

@harveyeaston -.- ur retarded.

@riverstrat

arent we ALL after the holy grail? do you realise how many magentic motors would be developed? it would ultimately end the fuel monopoly. its out there, but noones sharing it.

[riverstrat]

The problem that I've found with shielding is that magnets are just as attracted to the shielding as other metal ,it is ferrous (the shielding), if you could find non ferrous shielding you would have

something , otherwise the shielding is useless.

I'd appreciate someone proving that wrong, or developing non ferrous shielding.

Interesting, have you tried making a magnetic motor from this? Or do you not have any MU metal available?

[Stopgangstalking2011]

There are electromagnetic fields such as cellphone towers that can be unhealthy for people to be around. Is it possible this material could be used to block harmful electromagnetics if it was built on a larger scale? Where would someone want to go about it. Get a slab of nu metal and a magnetic and mess around with it until the other side of the nu metal is not magnetized?

I'm thinking that molybdenum and silver could have interesting results

stainless steel..

dude, come on. its a neodymium magnet+nickel plate=0 magnetic transfer.

neodymium*5+Nickel plate=5 which is a higher level of magnetic transfer.

its simple math, if you increase the amount of magnetism, you get more on the other side. in its original state, the nickel is enough to counter act the magnet.
