Magnetic OU principle, You should really take a look at this !

@all

I'm thinking that this type of magnetic action is more suited to use with a double acting
linear generator rather than convert to rotary motion.

Fix a centre plate and have the outer plates be the thrusting linear rotors on either side.

Yeah, that was my thought too. Keep this real simple. I think Stefan's idea to provide the input magnetic field with a coil is a good one as it is then easy to measure the power you are putting in. Stick with the initial diagram - a pile of washers on a dowel. Attach a coil former to the topmost washer. Wind an output coil around it, far enough from the input coil so that it is not influenced by it. Place a magnet next to this output coil and see what you can get out of it. Try different coils and different magnets and see if the input power is influenced or if the motion of the washers increases/decreases.

I was reviewing the designs and noted that the NEO magnets are arranged differently than with the  coil version (pole orientation). wouldn't this impact the effectiveness of the field imparting energy to the mild steel inductors? Just an observation.

Cheers for the advice Yucca 
Hope you get it rattling round endlessly on your first go.  Good luck!

And good thinking techobar.  Something practical to start with.

Yucca,
If you get it running could we come by your shop or home to take a look at it running.

Hi all.
Thought I'd let you know of an older version of this effect...and also another effect.

"the soft iron core never held the magnets (Flux), it pushed them out.

To prove it put five or six thin iron strips on edge, slant just so they will not flop over, now approach the ends of those strips with a magnet and you will see they flop over, hold the strips a little loose by the ends.(approach with magnet) then they will spread out 
I think this is enough to show that the soft iron never held those magnets (flux). It pushed them out."

"Set up the three-foot magnet so it can turn (steel rod on pivots, resting horizontal in Earth's field), put the coil with core in it (or the steel washers perhaps) in the U shape magnet, now approach the three-foot magnet's South Pole (from the west) with the U shape magnet's South Pole. As soon as the three-foot magnet begins to move you stop and mark the distance.

Take the coil away (or steel washers), approach again, as soon as the three-foot magnet begins to move away, then stop and mark the distance, then you will see how much strength the U shape magnet lost while you were pushing the coil in and halfway out, of the U shape magnet.

The U shape magnet was losing its strength up to the time it began to break away from the iron core, but during the time the U shape magnet broke away it regained its strength.

The breaking away from the iron core recharged the U shape magnet, then it became normal again and ready for the next start. During the recharging the new supply of magnets (flux) came from the air or the earth's magnetic field. Now we see how the magnetic currents are made by the U shape magnet."

"You already know that before the coil got in between the U shape magnet prongs, those little individual magnets (flux) were running out of the U shape magnet prongs in all directions, but as soon as the coil's core (steel washers perhaps) came in effective distance from the U shape magnet's prongs then these little individual magnets (flux) began to run in the core and coil and kept running until the core broke away from the U shape magnet prongs."
