Interesting ideas here. If you played with magnets then you've probably already made this.

If you take a large ring magnet then place small ring magnets around the edge facing the opposite pole they stick to the edge. Now if you move one of the small outer magnets it will stick and roll along the edge of the larger magnet.

If you have multiple small magnets around the larger magnet when you push one it will push the others along to balance the gap you've made from the push.

I'm wondering if you keep the inner large magnet steady but push the outer small magnets around through a conductive shaft that you will be able to extract the energy from the ends. Each small magnet would act as a mini HPG conducting through the larger stationary ring magnet (nickel or gold plated). I've made a picture, it's much easier to explain with it.

I guess we should prove the concept with alternating poles first.  If it works without the counter torque, and it should, then we can improve on it with other more complex setups such as the Halbach Array.

Excellent Work Mr_bojangles,

That's another interesting idea, DreamThinkBuild.  It may have potential also.  That's a good drawing. I wish I could draw like that.

indeed i have not DreamThinkBuild, nor was i aware of this phenomena, but it does seem very intriguing

@gravityblock

you are the first to tell me about the halbach array, and i am impressed with it. it appears mainly to manipulate the lines of flux, and does seem promising, but as i said before i am not framiliar with it enough to discuss possible inductance reactions with my set up

as far as alternating poles, we could also use an alternator set up, which i just realized is what i was thinking about when i referred to wind generators

heres a couple pics of set up we might want to look in to, stolen from wind gen's

(heres the website they came from)

this should create the rotation we are looking for and while we do not neccessarily need to wire it like an alternator, i believe we have the option

@Gravityblock,

That's a good drawing. I wish I could draw like that.

Thanks.

@MrBojangles,

I've included two shots of a quick setup I just put together. It shows a ceramic ring magnet which has little neos around the edge. North is pointing out on the ring magnet and south on all the small neos are pointing out toward camera. What always fascinates me with this setup is when you push one small magnet all the others will roll to balance out the hole you made.

It's very easy to make if you have any cylinder or ring magnets laying around. It reminds me of a primitive Searl device.
