Work from 2 magnets > 19% output 2

I may try a design something like this because it could handle high forces and yet operate with very little friction.

@floor
I could always change the magnet orientations to your layout if testing proves it to be more efficient!

You bring up good points. 

I am NOT proceeding from the theoretical to the empirical..  This whole endeavor has been 
based only upon observations and measurements.

I have only some vague ideas / observations as to why there is difference in the work RO to work SL.

1. It would seem to violate conservation, but once it is understood, probably doesn't ?

2. Any two magnets interacting in either predominantly attraction or repulsion, actually are
influenced by both, some attraction and some repulsion.  In the TD magnet configuration.
the ratios of attraction and repulsion are different under the conditions of rotation as
compared to a direct approaching ?

3. The configuration  /  interactions ,gives rise to some form of magnetic shielding ?

However, I am NOT proceeding from the theoretical to the empirical..  This whole endeavor has been 
based only upon observations and measurements.

Those measurements are of some of the most basic and simple physical properties.

My measurements and processes are either correct (within an acceptable margin)
or
they are in error. 

The conclusion are self evident.

@Lumen

No worries, but,I don't understand the force inbteractions and or motions in your drawings.

Here are some pictures of my rotary and slide force measuring devices.
The replaceable ends help to make it a bit more universal in testing different magnet shapes.

I use the same digital scale on both devices to avoid any scale error.

See the questions on the Picture Below.

I was looking at my RO unit in terms of how much effort for me to
mount a ceramic magnet in "Lumen's" face to face alignment. 
I would have to replace the RO magnet - mount with something more
universal as well.

You are correct,that is exactly how it is setup.
I am making some small changes because the next magnets I'll be testing are 1/4 x 1/2 x 2.00 and are very strong.
I will test them face to face and with parallel poles to see what difference might exist.

There is one last pair that I would like to test but these are 1/2 x 1 x 2 and are super strong and I need to make sure they don't get loose!
The aluminum foil tape is ok for thin magnets with 20Lbs pull but 60Lbs or better......Humm

It would be interesting to see if output remains proportional over all the sets.
