Helix Magnetic Motor

[The Nephew]

I call it "The Helix Screw Magnetic Motor".
First post so be gentle, I've been following closely with eyes wide open over MyLow's project and the way he has been belittled and I am disgusted with the mind process of some members here and other sites. I certainly hope you don't all scare inventors away the same way as some have done MyLow.
The red on the helix shaft is a partial magnet running along the shaft within a 1/4" groove that was machined in the shaft. It is being held in place with a red cocking. The prototype is not finished as I still need to finish running the magnets the full length of the screw.
I've got a right handed helix screw going clockwise and I've got a left handed screw running counter-clockwise.
I've attached some pictures of the prototype so you have an ideal of what I'm talking about. Have you encountered a machine that works on this principle? I understand that in order for a machine to work one must overcome the flux gate.
In theory, could this design with the incorporated helix screw shaft bypass this issue???
I'm challenging you to put your expertise against this design, I would love to know what your conclusions would be.
My limited understanding of magnetics is that you'll always be outdone by the flux gate as long as your toying with it in a 2 dimentional design. That is presicely why we choose the helical design and crossed it over to a 3 dimentional design.
What are your thoughts on this design?
I spent to much time trying to add attachments to the post, keeps telling me timed-out.
So here is a URL to the pics.

That's definitely not something you are likely to find in Grandpa's attic. I've never seen anything that resembles your device. Looks like an awful lot of work. Even if it doesn't work, you could display the finished product as a piece of techno-art.

There will be eddy current losses in the aluminum. Fast speeds will be worse than slow speeds. You might want to consider using a material which is not electrically conductive (plastic or wood).

What type of magnets and how are they oriented? Have you tried to model, or even just to sketch what the dynamic magnetic relationships would look like?

Definitely something different.

Nice one, looks cool.

Look forward too seeing more.

I like the concept of the helix and it's always good to see someone building, experimenting, and testing.  I've been thinking about a helix design for a few months now.  Although, your helix design is different from the helix design I had in mind, it's good to see someone tinkering with this idea.

I believe the electrons flow in a helix (corkscrew) motion around a conductor and the electromagnetic waves also follow a corkscrew trajectory path through space.  I think this corkscrew motion deserves more research, since it appears to be how nature is working.

Good luck,

@The Nephew,

It looks like an amazing bit of engineering, congratulations, but....

Maybe I missed something, can you tell me what it is supposed to do and why?
