Switchable Magnets.

It must be in contact with steel to rotate easily to the on position.

@Lumen,

The contact between the correctly sized steel walls and the diametric tube magnets is the central feature of this switchable mechanism. Two diametric tubes twisted one over the other, without the steel walls, would be very difficult to separate in attraction by sheer force, then they would be strongly repelled in opposition. The correctly sized steel walls solve both these problems; One, reducing the sheer force for separation; and Two, keeping the magnets attached in repulsion. The magnetic attraction to the steel is greater then the repulsion force between the opposing poles. Butch LaFonte has been demonstrating this kind of "Proof of Overunity" effect on his forum thread.

The question is; Would 400 pounds of "Pendulum Thrust" be sufficient to throw the switch?

The ratio of switch force to pull strength is obviously overunity in this switchable magnet. This kind of "Garden variety background advance" has the potential to replace hazardous "Nuclear Fission". It's our job as a group to realize it's potential and get it to generate free power.

The correct answer is no.
The 400 pounds is only a contact force and greatly reduced at even small distances.
What I was saying is that the device must be in contact with a steel plate to operate easily, otherwise the handle will rotate much harder.
The action is similar to a standard magnetic base where the magnetic field is simply redirected and without a second path (attached to a steel plate) the rotation force increases as it pushes the already closed path into an open path.

@Lumen,

The rotor would grow flush and in close adjacency with the magnet switch at TDC, not actually attached, but nearly enough to operate easily right at that exact position. Turning back on presents a different problem. One could run a "Merry go round" with a set of these kinds of magnet switches.
