If you understand that the PM oscillator operated from the compression of the forces without requiring work then you will probably understand why this new motor will run.
Just estimating the shown configuration of about 12 inch diameter and 2" center magnets I figure this motor should generate over 1000 watts.

It has to do with the force vectors generated with the Roberval action. Roberval action only responds to scalar forces and eliminates all torque. So any force applied along the Roberval axis is simply ignored.

This allows part of the compression cycle (or the storing of force) to take place in a vector that provides additional gain in the rotation direction.
It inversely also allows the attraction forces to achieve the same additional effect.
Because of this vector constraint, both (sticky spots) are not only eliminated, but add force in the rotational direction!
The animation is a little fast but had to fit in the size limit. Maybe someone can step it through frame by frame and draw the force vectors from magnet to magnet.
This would then clearly show the additional gain area.

The design uses all cylinder magnets as shown and mounted to a Roberval connection on the back of the wheel.

Yea, I'm probably just drinking too much coffee....

Your last design looks very symmetric, I don't believe it will achieve more than a 45° rotation.

Yes I believe you are correct.
The main idea here is to use Roberval action to leverage part of the work of compressing a field and obtain some gain during the process and still gain from the overall compression. This could be several factors over a simple wheel rotating past a magnet.
This appears possible and the design was meant to display that possibility.

Hi Lumen,

Thanks for the further info on the setup shown in your first post. The practical build of that oscillator seems to depend on how one can solve the needed 180 degree turning of the oscillating magnet at the end positions.

Regarding your next setup, you surely can improve it.
