No, it will only work with an iron or steel shield.
But the question is, if the force attraction of the 2 magnets in
repellmode to the shield is stronger than the single magnet
wanting to pull the shield down at the other side...

Hmm, I unfortunately guess, that? the force is stronger to hold and keep the
shield at the repelling magnets side between these magnets there.

As the airgap is pretty big at the other end, where the single
magnet wants to attract the other shield, this force is probably smaller
and this way it will not work.

Otherwise if maybe 2 of the units would be synchronized and
phased maybe 90 degrees out of phase, maybe it will work then

" You did not say WHY "
It's obviously. The screen at approach of magnets becomes a magnet itself, but not as has wrongly described Pino (sorry). Polarization will take place - the near (closest to magnets) and far ends of the screen, but not lateral faces. From it the "screen" will sit down dead between poles (and even not in the middle of magnets) and it is necessary to apply energy to pull it out therefrom.
I do not remember a link, but there this scheme was discussed.

And "Kalinin"  motor does not work. The shielding material is necessary. One of participants of this project has got it, but he's doing his own project. From his description it is a thin plate from several layers of different metals (probably works on a principle of eddy-curent).

My engine does not work. But experiences which I have lead{have carried out}, confirm his{its} serviceability.

Excuse for literacy, but I write from Russia.
I add a photo of last updating of model

Here is the animation photo of your machine, Anatoliy.

Looks good.
Did you try it ?
Does it really work ?

Regards, Stefan.

I saw this scheme some times ago.
I think it could work if you delete most friction to the shield. Any ideas about this?
