Is there a way to have a container maintain a constant temperature/amount of energy with no energy leaving or coming in? For example if I were to place an iron ball that was heated to 200 degrees in a box could I have it maintain that temperature with no outside energy source to maintain it (the iron ball not trying to equalize with ambient environment)? I was wondering for heat if the ball was placed in vacuum box and was magnetically (permanent magnet) levitated that would eliminate conduction heating. I was wondering if there was a way to retain or block the Electromagnetic waves from going out or coming in (photon of light and heat wave characteristics). The box structure I believe would be able to eliminate kinetic energy. I read the tokomak uses electromagnetic system to shield the walls. However, if there is another way that does not require energy. Thanks for the consideration.
