I would really, really like some responses to this discussion, Plz!
I'm trying to think up a usable force field. I have already thought up armor for a space ship that is remarkably strong. Now I am trying to make a force field for it.
My idea is that the force field would have two parts, Magnetic insulation and then magnetically triggered response shield. The magnetism would work much like the earths magnetic fields work. And for when the field actually attracted things the field would be pulsating in a direction and blow the object or whatever was attracted away. The pulses would be very fast.
The second half would be triggered by the increase or decrease of the magnetic fields. With a decrease in magnetism would redirect the energy to some sort energy neutralizer. Kinda like having two modes that work as one.
Does anybody have any other ideas for a force field?

Well your theory has it's good & it's bad points. You could slightly deflect an incoming metallic object however Magnetic fields have poles on opposite sides. Any metallic object that reaches the field would be drawn to one of them or the other. Adding a pulse wouldn't change that. About the best you could hope for was to redirect the incoming missile to a heavily plated pole. Magnetic fields wouldn't do anything to other forms of energy either. Then there's the havoc that having such a strong field surrounding your sensitive electronics would cause.
Too many holes in your theory ( & any ship you tried to put it on , LOL

Actually magnetism effects a lot of things not just other magnets. And that was a good question about something magnetic being attracted. When the magnets would be attracted it would increase the magnetic field. The computer would be monitoring this field anyways. When the field gets stronger the computer would cause a chain reaction. Maybe releasing a laser or something like that.
