So this [website] is misleading then[?]
I don't see how, as it seems to say the same thing as ranger's answer above (but in greater depth).
 

1. What is magnetic energy and why is it important to block it?

Magnetic energy is the energy associated with magnetic fields. It is important to block magnetic energy because it can interfere with electronic devices, cause damage to sensitive equipment, and even pose health risks to humans.

2. What materials are commonly used to block magnetic energy?

Some common materials used to block magnetic energy include ferromagnetic materials, such as iron, nickel, and cobalt, as well as non-magnetic materials like copper, aluminum, and brass. Specialized materials like mu-metal and ferrite are also commonly used.

3. How do these materials block magnetic energy?

Ferromagnetic materials act as a shield, redirecting the magnetic field away from the protected area. Non-magnetic materials, on the other hand, create a barrier that absorbs and dissipates the magnetic energy, preventing it from reaching the protected area.

4. What are some solutions for blocking magnetic energy?

One solution is to use metal enclosures or shields made of ferromagnetic or non-magnetic materials. Another solution is to use specialized coatings or films that can be applied to surfaces to block magnetic energy. Additionally, magnetic field cancellation techniques, such as using opposing magnetic fields, can also be effective in blocking magnetic energy.

5. Are there any limitations to blocking magnetic energy?

While there are various materials and solutions available for blocking magnetic energy, it is important to note that no method is 100% effective. Additionally, the effectiveness of these methods may vary depending on the strength and frequency of the magnetic field. It is best to consult a professional to determine the most suitable solution for your specific needs.
