Question:

what material goes in between two magnets to stop the attraction?

im trying to invent a new power source but first i need to know this one detail. what material can I use for a shield against magnetic pull? is there anything?

Answer:

MagnetShield High Saturation Magnetic Alloy First line of defense for shielding strong magnetic fields from magnets, speakers, small transformers and motors. Strong magnetic fields are harder to shield because they tend to saturate the shielding material. This 4 wide foil is a hefty .010 thick and has an exceptionally high magnetic saturation of 21400 Gauss and maximum permeability of 4000. Tin plated for excellent corrosion resistance and better conductivity, it can be soldered or painted. MagnetShield typically reduces fields up to a factor of 2 or 3 depending on size/shape of the shield. Can be used in multiple layers, and/or in combination with a higher permeability alloy such as Joint-Shield for higher attenuation. Annealing is not necessary with this material. For increased shielding effectiveness, consider the following strategies: Good: Layer(s) MagnetShield Better: One or more layers of MagnetShield (closest to the source of field), followed by one or more layers of a high permeability material such as Joint-Shield or MagStop Plate.
