There are no materials that STOP magnetic fields. Some have proposed that a faraday cage will stop magnetic fields, but this is not true because magnetism is a field, not a wave. The most effective way to block a magnetic field is to put a bunch of space between it and whatever's in trouble. Ideally, you could encase a magnet in a large plexiglass bubble to keep distance.

This cant be true because they have one sided magnets in watches and hard drives.

Not yet, but there will be in the future. It needs to be invented / created. Right now there are only high energy means of stopping the waves, which defeats the purpose of most free energy thinkers.

No material can block a magnetic field. Unlike electric charges, magnetic field lines must begin and end at north and south poles. Certain materials may be used to "channel" the magnetic field, but no material can block it.

No element is known to block a magnetic field, although there are some materials such as 'NU Metal' (which is man-made) which do.

Why can an induction heating process heat magnetic material faster than non magnetic material?

To heat something by induction (which is and oscillating magnetic field), the material has to react to the magnetic field. As the magnetic field is made to oscillate, the molecules of the material are pulled and vibrated in sympathy with the field and their vibration energy increases. Heat IS the vibration of molecules. Thus induction heating will work on a magnetic material but will have no effect on a material that is not magnetically susceptible.

Is tantalum magnetic?

Tantalum itself is not magnetic (does not generate the magnetic field); however, it is a paramagnetic material...meaning it will react to a magnetic field. see Paramagnetic


What is meant by magnetic permeability?

All materials are magnetized when placed in the magnetic field . The material magnetized by the effect of a magnetic field is called magnetic permeability.

Non magnetic material is the one which cannot be easily magnetized even with intense magnetic field around it.

Why is magnet unable to stick to a stainless steel refrigerator?

If a magnet doesn't stick to a material, that means that the material is non-magnetic. Every individual atom is a magnet, but in a magnetic material, there are groups of atoms (called "magnetic domains") that have their magnetic directions aligned. An outside magnetic field in such materials will align some of the magnetic domains in the direction of the magnetic field.

A magnetic material has a relative permeability of 10000 what does this mean?

The relative permeability of 10,000 means that the material can support a magnetic field 10,000 times more dense than than a magnetic field in free space.
