Working Magnetic Motor on you tube??

Maybe this can help TinselKoala.
I have added pics with a plan.

I can't see the drawing very well due to its low resolution, but I think I get the basic idea. My first impression is that there will be a very strong "cogging" or "wall" effect as the magnets of one wheel come into proximity with the other wheel's magnets, and the system will tend to lock at that point. The gearing seems symmetrical so the wheels will turn at exactly the same rates, but in opposite directions, so I'm not sure what benefit would come from the gearing.
Could you post the drawing in a higher res, so I can be sure of what I'm looking at?
Thanks--

Hope this is a better pic

Sorry to have to tell you this, but your contraption won't work.
Your main problem is that you lack basic knowledge of magnetic flux lines and don't see the whole picture.

The magnets being shielded by the "high permeability material" isn't really shielded at all. It's pure attraction.
As the Hi Perm gets thinner along the track, the attraction effect declines and the material will get saturated.
The magnets being in the "small section" will be repelled strongly and your device will find equilibrium.
Dont forget that the attraction effect to the "Hi Perm" also creates backpull towards the thicker part of the area.
The backpull attraction contributes mostly in finding equilibrium.

This type of magnet motor shielding have been tried countless of times throughout history.
But the inventers didn't know that shielding doesn't remove the flux lines, it just reroutes them.

Thank you for the reply Ergo.
I did not guess about it getting saturated.
