The discussion centers on the creation of monopole magnetic materials, which the original poster claims to have achieved through specific experimental methods. They describe two solutions: welding magnets with like poles together and magnetizing steel specimens by contacting them with similar poles of magnets. Testing with a compass indicated some success in creating samples that behaved like monopoles, although results varied, with a 40% success rate. However, other participants argue that true monopoles cannot be formed from dipole magnets, emphasizing that the configurations described would still result in dipole or quadrupole arrangements. The conversation highlights skepticism about the validity of the experiments and the need for more rigorous testing to substantiate claims of monopole creation.

OK, whatever. I would be willing to bet that you did not actually construct this object apart from drawings on paper that you think works.
And those polar field lines some think are straight are not straight at all.
They eventually curve to the opposite pole.
The reason most iron-filing set-ups appear to show a polar straight line is that the magnetic force at that point is too weak to align the relatively massive iron-filings into a curve.

Well I tried it. I took a 300mm Iron rod and a N42 nib magnet, starting in the center of the rod and switching to the other side, again starting from the center after each stroke. I then brought it proximity to a compass and indeed the north end of the needle pointed to the end of either side of the rod. I also noticed that the south end of the needle pointed to the center of the rod as I was passing it. So, what you have is not a monopole it just has the same pole on each end and the opposite pole in the middle.

about 2nd solution, when you conected to magneteic with north-north, and South - south , infact, you have one magnetic which is weaker than both of first mgnetic because, their magnetic fields destroy each other...
