What is the magnetic field inside hollow ball of magnets? Setup: we have a large number of thin magnets shaped such that we can place them side by side and eventually form a hollow ball. The ball we construct will have the north poles of all of the magnets pointing toward the center of the ball, and the south poles pointing away from the center. The magnets in this case are physically formed such that in this hollow ball arrangement they are space filling and there are no gaps between them.
Is such as construction possible? If so, what is the magnetic field (B-field) inside and outside the ball? 
 A: I think this kind of set up is similar to Halbach Cylinders and Halbach Spheres.
A: This is interesting.  You would definitely have to 'nail down' the magnets to the sphere, because it will be an unstable configuration.  Also in the real world, edge-effects will destroy any chance of perfect radial field lines, so let's assume we're in an ideal scenario.
Outside the sphere, the magnetic field would be that of a source monopole placed at the sphere's center.  But we need $\nabla\cdot B=0$, so as a result there is no B-field on the outside.
Inside the sphere, there is nowhere the magnetic field lines can end, especially when they are all pointed towards the center... In fact, such a magnetic field would have divergence less than zero (the center of the sphere being a 'sink'), and this is a property that magnetic fields cannot have (since $\nabla\cdot B=0$).  As a result, my answer is that there is no $B$-field on the inside either.
The real reason the B-field must have zero divergence: If there are no physical source monopoles in the vicinity, then any configuration is made of dipoles, and there is no way mathematically (I think) for a collection of dipoles to produce a monopole.
A: Theoretically, if everything was perfectly in balance, you'd have no magnetic field either inside or outside.  The magnets would all cancel one another out.
In practice I imagine you'd wind up with a significant magnetic field, because some of the magnets would be weaker than the others.  The north and south poles would be arranged randomly, although I suspect you'd have more north poles than south poles (with the latter being correspondingly stronger).
A: In some ways is this correct but take this on a much larger scale and it's incorrect. Yes the epicenter would be zero but now the magnetic field would still produce a field. It is cancelled out but you are making it sound as if there were no forces acting anymore, that it would simply become a sphere of polarized metal. Take the large magnetic structured Earth. Yes it's not completely hollow but because of the inner fields the magnetic pressure on the center would still be relevant. This is a magnetic field that pushes the core particles together. Therefore saying that the magnetic field is dissipated is false. The magnetic field is still there, we still can find magnetic north correct?
