Simple Idea for a magmotor - Does it work?

[leeanderthal]

It seems to me that this simple configuration of magnets would be in a continuous state of imbalance.  The rotor would rotate CCW.  There would be six magnets on the rotor that would always be in both attraction and repulsion mode trying to overcome one of the rotor magnets trying to regauge.  There would be 56 points per revolution where regauging would be necessary.  The circumference of the rotor is 56 times the width of one magnet so that only one magnet is regauging at a time.  Something to think about.  Has this been tried before?

   Only 13 magnets, why not just build it. Grade 8's from ace hardware are only a buck each.

I would think that if this has any chance of working that it would have to be built with precision which I am presently incapable of doing (thanks to hurricane "Katrina") and the magnets would probably have to be matched for strength.  BTW, last time I checked  8+7=15.  You were off by two bucks.

Will only work with vertical movement of outer magnet (calculated)
