An artificial "magnetic" device is achievable.

I think a very long, thin, high-coercivity permanent magnet would do the same job. I presume a Dirac string is just the "invisible" tube that carries the flux from one monopole to the other. For a long, thin, magnet the magnet itself would do that. When fully magnetised it looks like free space to other magnetic fields that are less than its coercivity.

A rigid rod should do this properly, a string of disc magnets would be flexible and may be a good approximation, although small dipoles may appear at every bend/crack.

Dear Emmanouil,

No, they cannot create a real magnetic monopole. Notice that if you have a long solenoide this means that if you surrounds one of the extremes (magnetic pole ) there is one point where you must cut the other opposite pole. This is one fundamental law of Electrodynamics. The paper of the Scientific Report always says that this is just an illution.

By the way, the electromagnetic waves cannot propagate also energy or momentum at greater velocity of light c. The wormhole must follow also this rules for the electromagnetic waves.

There isn’t any proof that says magnetic monopoles (mmp) CANNOT exist.

Its our observation that these PROBABLY donot exist because so far we have not observed these.

On the contrary symmetry in the universe demands that mmp should exist.

Maxwell equations also become symmetric with magnetic charges.

Dear Muhammad,

You are right that the monopole can exist, but as a fundamental particle (for instance, Dirac, Schwinger...Abelian monopoles or non Abelian as the t'Hooft one ). The difficulty here in this post is if you can get it artificially using the present classical electrodynamics.

Logically, it doesn't seem possible a single pole could exist. A magnetic field is the combined interactions of both the North and South poles.

A weak example: How can you call it a handshake with only one hand?

Or, how can you have an up with no down? Only with mathematics or imagination.

....... the sound of one hand clapping ........ (Zen, I think)

Malcome White:

As I stated previously: with imagination :>

Dear Readers,

First I would like to thank you for your input so far.

A near ideal toroid solenoid (with no any ferrite core) will generate zero magnetic field outside the toroid bulk (inner air cap of ring and exterior of the ring). All the magnetic flux will run through the toroid solenoid and no flux will leak outside the solenoid. Still, it is an elusive magnetic dipole. Its two leads connected to an electric source make it a closed electric loop but also an open magnetic loop at its ends where the source is connected. On the other hand an ideal circular magnetization mode rare earth ring "magnet" (very seldom case in the literature mentioned) is a closed magnetic loop and therefore all magnetism is gone. Nowhere, magnetic field can be found with a Gauss meter. It is not a magnet, it will not attract any ferromagnetic material anywhere, say an iron screw, whereas in the first case, the screw will stick on a strong toroid electromagnet body (no ferrite core used). Correct me if I am wrong.

So, it seems that there is no man made synthetic magnetic array topology existing to effectively hide 100% the one of the two poles. Or is it?

This guys below (best paper I've found so far on mmp) prove otherwise, namely synthetic Dirac Monopoles. I submit to you the twisted or else vortex magnetization mode!

Also as a footnote to my previous post:

Here are the metrics of this nature article. This is serious.

https://www.nature.com/articles/nature12954/metrics

"A Dirac monopole is a point-like source of a possibly artificial magnetic field that forms at the endpoint of a quantum whirlpool." (excerpt from Nature article, above)

It's these types of statements that keep me from truly accepting the concept as valid. If they didn't have the "possibly" there, it would sound like like real, not theoretical science. Let's see or measure one!

Timm,

There is a way to replicate the Nature article experiment and scale it up at the macroscopic level using a specific synthetic array of rear-earth magnets. They call it quantum whirlpool I call it vortex magnetization in my experiment. The think is, I get the same results as these guys. A cyclop monopole field.

This is the magnetic field picture I took from my experiment using your Ferrocell invention.

Doughnut shaped with a black hole(pole) in the centre

Compare it to the nature article and it is identical with their photos.

The other pole is no where to be found I ensure you. Yes a pole creates a flux whirlpool but it works also the other way around, and man can create a synthetic magnetic vortex which will create only one pole, at its tail. No other pole is to be found. The magnetic doughnut diameter in the photo is 8mm . Just wait for my future publication.

The above article is very convincing. The suppression and re-direction of a single pole is a remarkable feat. This is a promising solution to a Dirac monopole. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. More to contemplate now!

Magnetic monopole can be created in electrodynamics, whose nonlinearity is formed, for instance, by quantum effects in QED, by joining an electric monopole with background electromagnetic fields B and E carrying a nonzero pseudoscalar combination BE. See refs. appended.

Dear Anatoly Shabad,

What is the importance of that issue?

I mean: either magnetic mono-poles can exist or not, what is the importance of that? Does this have any practical benefit? or an important theoretical value?

Well for starters it would explain the quantization of the electric charge and unveil more secrets of nature's inner workings. Till now static magnetic field lines could not be contributed to any subatomic elusive force carrier sub atomic particle say magneton as in the case of static electric fields where we have the photon as the gauge boson. So in theory both static magnetic or electric field as well electromagnetism have the same force carrier namely the photon. It would be groundbreaking to discover otherwise...

Was Faraday maybe aware of all the theoretical and technological consequences when he first discovered EM induction and afterwards formulated and explained by Maxwell?

From an engineering stand point I am interested on how these monopoles, if nature doesn't it, can be synthetically produced by man even if they are "apparent monopoles" because I believe these will have many practical and research applications in future.

Common sense tells me it's not logically feasible to have one magnetic pole. It's like having an 'up' without 'down' or 'left' without 'right'. If you can only reference one, then you eliminate both. It seems monopoles can be created only by suppressing or re-directing one of the two poles. It's still there, though.

" It seems monopoles can be created only by suppressing or re-directing one of the two poles. It's still there, though. "

That's fine with me as long as the missing pole is 100% undetectable by any means, except of course destroying or disassembling the synthetic monolpole. In practical and research applications it will do the job just fine as a monopole, (not Dirac monopole though).

Here, is a quick demonstration example of a practical application of a synthetic monopole I constructed and of what it can do for you:

The explanation for my unipolar magnet demonstration I've posted in my previous post is quite simple:

There is!... actually a magnetic repulsion present whenever I approach the same poles. Since my synthetic monopole array (green thingy) shows only one magnetic pole at the centre of the circle and almost all of the magnetic flux is contained and projected inside the centre of the circle and there is little to no flux present to the periphery of the circle. All 12 neodymium magnets (very thin axial magnetized 5mmX5mmX1mm square magnets) inside the ring array are located around the periphery in an anisotropic head (N) - tail (S) twisted (not totally concentric) vortex magnetization mode generating an apparent monopole at the centre of the circle and all the Bloch regions of all the individual magnets on the circle facing out towards you. This kind of magnetization configuration is not the circular type which would result into a null magnetic field but insteat as I call it a vortex (helix) magnetization mode which results to a pole on the center of the ring array If it's implemented correctly.

In this specific video I have posted, a South synthetic magnetic apparent monopole field is generated at the centre and yes it is actually repelling the south pole of the dipole ring ferrite magnet as I approach it with my hand.

However, the south monopole field is relatively quite weak in the center as I have measured it around 200 Gauss (fridge magnet) and almost null to the periphery where the nickel plated (ferromagnetic material) magnets are located which act not as magents anymore in that region but actually more like normal ferromagnetic metal and therefore are strongly attracted by the ferrite ring magnet (black magnet).

I can proof to you that my synthetic monopole array vortex magnetization configuration, is producing axially the same polarity on both sides of the array (green thingy) and this is the first prototype of the original array I made. When I work out a total mathematical geometrical solution of the array and its constructed perfectly there is no other pole to be detected:
