Your idea of an attracting force to overcome the "stick spot" is one that has merit. Check out the Bowman file at http://www.fdp.nu/bowman/default.asp. The Bowman wheel used an "actuator" and a "helper magnet". I think this is a necessary part of any successful PMM.

The replication of Bowman's motor was not successful but there is knowledge to be gained from both success and failure.

My point was that the 'helper magnet' alligns with the plantary gears cog points and creates a "dead zone", the result being just a modified cog point created between the original cog points and the next stators "dead zone". In addition to this point, it has no relivency to Minatos work, it was just conjecture. Repeling magnetics are the only force harnessed in Minatos design, and I believe that is a quality that time will reveal as being the key...

If you study the eary Minato video you will see that he used a hand-held magnet (actuator) to rotate the wheel.
