 You stack the magnets with their natural attraction position. 1st row  ns/sn   2nd row sn/ns   3rd row ns/sn the whole block becomes a virtual large magnet and the magnetic flux is comprised of loads of magnetic vortices that are more efficient than one big magnet. The magnetic field viewer sheet doesn't show you the final effect, you need a precision Gauss meter to map the resulting field like Howard Johnson did  in one of his paper. When two or more virtual magnets are mounted on a rotor, they segregate in North and South poles arrangement by themselves. It is not a well know effect as most people try to stack their magnets with identical poles together but the chaos in the vortices drop the efficiency of the resulting virtual magnet. 

He probably used air core coils to do away with the cogging or he found someway of warping the magnetic flux away from the center of the coil to concentrate it on the coil windings for a longer period of time. One way could be to use a Pyrolytic Graphite plug in the core (used in levitation) and that would work better with a virtual magnet. (Pure speculation that could make sense)

I don't know how he used it or could have used it to lighten up his coral blocks but I am pretty sure he used the magnetic fields to strengthen his chains and holding blocks. First thing to get the coral blocks lighter is to dig them out and let them dry, you lose nearly half the weight from evaporation of this very porous material and in Florida, the water table level is near the ground level so they are naturaly filled with water or very wet to start with. I would have to go through his lifelong junk collection to find out what he used that could have done the trick. Remember what you learn in books about magnets is only the evident part and they did screw that up too, what they show you in school is not wrong but not right either. Magnet effects are still shrouded in mystery for most.

Leedskalnin was able to visualize magnetic fields , that I am sure.

Take care,

at first i thought each pole was made of 12 magnets, but now i count 10. so do you think they were stacked five verticly north and 5 south up against each other? i read that one guy thinks the pickup coil had some kind of north and south arangment that made it easy to crank? i also read that he used it to generate some kind of frequency that levatated the stone blocks. one of the interesting things i read was that his hoist with tripod was no were neer heavy enough to lift some of the blocks and even if it was he couldnt movethem to where he needed them to be. so how did he move all that stone around. plus he up and moved the whole joint 10 miles and re erected it, by him self.-phil

how do you guy's think the bar magnets are aranged on each pole?

and watch the video, there is the magnet configuration shown. At about 3:30 of 51:22 minutes of the video.
