You should build it.

PS I can tell you why it won't if you care to know

Hi,

I would care to know...

On the website gaby said:
"...the magnet at the left is almost infinitely more influenced by this interaction as the one at the right." (or in this pic, the magnet in the upper-left corner(which I will call the magnet on the shaft)).

I will refer to the other things on the bottom and right as magnet wheels.

It takes more work to get to position a3 than he thinks(see pic below for what I mean by "a3" position). as the magnets on the wheel approach the magnet on the shaft, similar poles are resisting each other all the way until position a3 is achieved.

Then once in a3, the shaft magnet will want to spin 90 degrees. The torque with which it will rotate will not be much, as this is the area on the shaft magnet which the magnetic field is the weakest.

As the magnet wheels leave a3, opposite poles on the shaft and wheel will start to point towards each other and attract.

So this is why it won't work. Two sticky spots, and not enough torque from a3 to get past either of them. But hey, if you're convinced it will work, by all means build it.
