Rotary Recipricating Pseudo Solid, LaFonte Group

You should be able to figure this out from our last design post, but I will post operational description tonight.
This is one amazing machine!
Thanks,

It looks like it will take mechanical work to get the magnets rotated from step 4 back to step 1.

No, not at all, except for a slight amount for the lower magnet, operation description below.
Also our video showing pseudo solid testing. I will post link to refresh everyones memory.
Thanks,

Note: The top assembly is stationary except for the rotor that can operate turning clockwise or counter clockwise. The lower assembly moves up and down like a piston. 1 shows the lower assembly being pulled to the upper assembly by the power of three magnets. 2 shows lower assembly flush with upper assembly. 3 shows rotor has rotated to the vertical position. This puts the lower assembly and upper in a neutral or even a repulsion mode. 4 shows the lower assembly moved to it's lowest point. 5 shows the rotor turning to the horizonal position and work is needed to remove it from the lower assembly but most of that work is recovered when the magnet is attracted to the upper assembly. 6 shows the lower assembly being pulled with the power of all three magnets. This is the start of repeating the cycle. The pull of the three magnets would be extremely strong as you can imagine.  Also a .005" air gap is between the pole of each magnet and the plate surface so our Pseudo Solid principle will work with no drag on the magnet due to friction.
