AI Thread Summary
Covering one side of a disc magnet with non-magnetic glue will weaken the magnet's polarity on that side, as the glue acts as a barrier to magnetic field lines. Applying multiple layers of glue will further diminish the magnetic strength of that side. The idea of attaching two magnets via their depolarized sides to create a single pole is theoretically flawed, as magnets inherently have two poles. Alternative methods to achieve a similar effect may exist, but this approach is unlikely to yield the desired results. Overall, the concept requires reevaluation for practicality.

Hey guys,
It has been a while since I've done anything to do with magnetism and was wondering if I covered one side of a disc magnet is a non magnetic glue, would this weaken the polarity of this side? And the more layers of glue I 'paint' on, the weaker this side of the magnet is.
In the overall picture I would like to attach 2 of these to each other via the depolarized side and have a 'magnet' that is overall one pole. (Or as close to it as possible!)

Is this idea way off the mark or is it possible. Or is there a better way to go about it.

This isn't going to work as you want it to. Also, I posted more to your 'sticky' thread in General Physics.
 
Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'

Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'

So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
