We actually tried this using mu metal shields. We created shields which were mechanically gated during the rotation of the machine. The problem was the mechanical load of the movement of the shields. Try this. Get yourself a cylindrical neodymium magnet and a copper pipe of slightly larger inside diameter. Drop the mag into the pipe and see how long it takes to fall down the pipe. It looks like magic! We also tried field gating to divert the magnetic field. You can divert the field like in Bearden's MEG; but, the cycle is conservative still. Read Howard Johnson's "The Secret World of Magnets" and see the measurements he took: http://www.scribd.com/doc/34317/Spintronics-The-Secret-World-of-Magnets-2006-by-Howard-Johnson It's not really about Spintronics; but, it's interesting. One thing I do not yet understand is why the force of attraction is greater than the force of repulsion. Maybe there is a secret there. T
