| NON TECHNICAL 'ABSTRACT' OF PROPOSED EXPERIMENT
THE PROBLEM. To create a structure that is a true monopole magnet. Clearly no such structure can be achieved by pole blocking or shunting as the true monopole magnet is a condition that exists within the mass of the magnetic material. Put simply, the magnetic boundary wall must be shifted from the center (in terms of material mass) plane of the magnetic material to one or other of the poles.
THE APPROACH. The following proposed structure does this in two stages. First by creating a geometry which isolates the two poles by self induced pole blocking in three dimensions and second by draining the flux from one side by zero resistance flux pinning.
BASIC PRINCIPALS & ASSUMPTIONS. Following the most fundamental principal of flux distribution emanating from a permanent magnet, namely that the flux will always maintain perfect spacial equilibrium where any asymmetry in the magnets shape is mirrored by the flux patterns geometry and increases in flux density (on on face or another) are compensated by an inverse spacial distribution on the opposing face. As flux is static or moves at the speed of light (which amount to the same thing in practical terms), equilibrium can only be maintained by spacial relativity of the lines of force.
Only a perfect balance of the two opposing forces, both spatially and in terms of density and gradient will result in their isolation. In reality some leakage must be expected.
In a rectangular bar magnet an internal line of flux can be viewed as an elastic band pinned at the boundary wall in the center of the magnet and twisted 90 degrees at both ends (poles) in opposing directions thus creating a twist of 180 degrees between the two poles. The flux then completes the circuit in free space performing a mirror of the twist at the secondary equilibrium point. Isolating the poles does not create a true monopole but simply a magnet where one pole is isolated from the other and the flux trapped in a magnetic bottle. It is useless in practical terms because any work attempted by the structure would upset the balance and result in leakage and failure of its monopole character..
The hypothesis of the proposed structure is that once isolation is achieved, which can be likened to cutting the loop in the elastic band on its path between the poles outside the magnetic material, communication in terms of opposite but equal forces (Newton physics) is disrupted and redistribution of the elastic tension is thus possible.
The final and most dubious assumption is that in this isolated condition if the flux pressure created by the balance of force at the boundary wall is unbalanced by draining energy from one side of the loop, the boundary wall will readjust to compensate (as it does if you cut away any part of the magnet). If this condition can be maintained as a closed loop, the boundary wall will in time stop a one polar extreme of the magnet.
THE CONSTRUCT
A spherical hollow shell constructed of 60 NdFeB 55 MGOe magnets of a geometry that creates a sphere, say 8" in diameter with 1.5" walls. A deltoidal hexecontahedron is a possibility. The polarity of the magnets is such that the North pole is always on the outer surface and the South pole on the inside. At no point can flux complete a circuit without crossing itself. Leakage will occur due to faults in the material and construction but only until a stable equilibrium condition is achieved.
The sphere is now placed in an electrically and magnetically inert outer shell (Zirconia ceramic) comprised of two halves that can be secured together. The shell is such that its internal dimension is a little larger than the sphere so leaving a small cavity. The sphere is centered by means of inert spacers.
The outer surface of this ceramic sphere is tilled with deltoidal hexecontahedron shaped super conducting tiles. A small valve is left uncovered to allow introduction of Liquid Nitrogen (to achieve super conducting state in the outer tiles) into the cavity between the ceramic outer shell and the magnetic structure inside it.
POSSIBLE RESULT
With the poles of the magnets isolated, the domain boundary wall is dependent on the balance of forces between two separate flux path halves. As lines of force from the magnets North pole flux lines become 'relaxed' due to zero resistance flux pinning to the Super Conductor outer shell, and the balance of elastic tension becomes unbalanced and shifts to the opposing pole. Much depends on the extent of flux pinning and the initial stability of the containment sphere. The maths and construction present major problems but such a construct is possible.
