LaFonte Group can turn off permanent magnet without work

[Butch LaFonte]

If you have a standing magnetic field in a permanent magnet and iron circuit and you rotate the magnet in the circuit so that the polarity in the iron reverses, does the original field have to collapse before it can change polarity? Note: When the magnet rotates to reverse the polarity the air gap stays constant.

I wonder, does this even need the slots in the stator?

I deleted the air gaps and it looks the same... better actually, no leaks (that was my bad FEMM designing skills mostly.    )

This magnetic switch - what is it used for? I will just mention that if you want to harness magnetic energy; Say you want to take energy out of a coil. If this coil is loaded, the magnetic flux will be stopped from building up a magnetic field - quite basic so far. But then it will take that amount of energy to rotate the magnet to actually build up that magnetic field. Unless the magnetic field can find an alternative flux path - but then no energy will be harnessed from the coil anyway. So at the end; the magnetic switch works without energy supply unless you try to harmess energy from a coil that is attached to it. So that means the magnetic switch is useless, or what?

So I wonder: What will this switch be used for?

We just got some cogging, but took the air gaps out and still got good voltage and no cogging.
Will post test videos.
