No need to start a new thread, so here is "Yet Another Theoretical permanent magnet motor" idea.

Its look like a searl engine, well similar by the use of 2 stators, searl use 3 and the roller inside floating between the stator layer but its not only magnet

Anyway nice drawing

Hi One 

It,s an idea that occurred to me once and completely forgotten about it until a couple days ago,
  I done the model in a couple minutes, it,s not mechanically viable, i just wanted to convey the
  idea of a triangular shaped magnet in a circular track.

Look close at the polarity of the magnets, just a thought I had a few years back, havn,t tried it
  out yet though.

good day One

Hi,

The reason why a magnet is moving at all is because the flux density is uneven in the front and the rear of the magnet (Caused by another magnet nearby) - most of all because the magnetism is finite. In your drawing the two ring-magnets will not provide this asymetrical magnetism as there is the exact same magnetic force in front and behind the rotor magnets. I had a similar idea once by using two big loudspeaker magnets where north was pointing into eachother like in your drawing, but aligned as a sandwich construction - in principle pretty much a copy of your idea. I built it, and it did not work.
In school I learned that a conductor with a certain current flow will be forced in one direction inside a magnetic field. But that is only true if the magnetic field is finite and the conductor can be able to "escape" away from the magnetic field. In a circular magnet, this magnetism never change angle or density along the circumference in the two ring-magnets you have there. So there is no exits for the rotor magnets to escape. Hence it will not start to rotate. Sad but true.

Hi LQ 

Ah I see, so nature always finds an equilibrium, very frugal she is.   Thanks for sharing your
  results with me, I,ll take your word on it, this will spare me the trouble of testing it myself.

Appreciated

This is a theoretical RECapacitor   

Have to retool this thing, the iron windings does capture energy but overall it,s not a producer of RE.

Ehh this is a waste of time..... onward
