You can't have a dipole magnet raw, so maybe you have to trick it in a way to be one?

I kind of thought about it but of how a magnetic field would go and had that idea before this guy but he did it better to put spacers and a double metal shield. as the author calls it "One way shielding"

You can have it repel if he used another metal instead of iron.
I do not have flat rectangle magnets to try it out but maybe some here do.

I never tried it but I am curious to see how the magnetic field looks like. I assume it all bottlenecks which might have a sweet spot if it works.

Brilliant!! (not).

Can you say Coulomb' law??

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coulomb%27s_law

Take two magnetron magnets (from a microwave oven - doughnut shaped) and stack vertically (like poles facing each other) on a vertical tube or rod made of non ferromagnetic material.  The top magnet will hover over the lower magnet.

Now pass your 'shielding'  materials in the gap between the magnets.  If the top magnet drops, the material is having some effect.  If it can be passed through the gap without any significant force AND the top magnet drops, then you have just solved the world's energy crisis.

Go forth and test..

And some more experiments with magnetic fields:

Probably right but does not hurt to encourage people and ask.
The only magnet that one can control is an electromagnet, and magnets are just the equivalent of a rock in gravity.
