Magnetic field question.?
You have a neodynium magnet, a bit of a gap, and then a copper coil. If you pass another magnet of similar polarity through the gap, will the fixed magnet push the magnetic field of the moving magnet off into the copper coil? I am looking for a way to displace a magnetic field into a copper coil for a project and I figured that would probably be the best way to do it, with a similar charged magnet. I know it's clear as mud, but does that sound right? I guess the closes thing I could compare it to is stringing a bunch of batteries together to increase voltage.

It sounds like you're trying to make a generator...
While the stationary magnet will distort the field of the moving magnet, I can't imagine it would be strong enough to shove the field far enough to have any effect on the output of the coil.
There is another method: Make your coil the moving part, and move it between sets of magnets with opposite poles facing each other. Having the magnets oriented in this way causes their fields to collapse and focus into the area between them, which means the coils will have a greater density of flux to travel through, meaning more power can be generated per revolution.
