Collecting dust

[Gothic]

This is an idea I thought of years ago but haven,t  got around
  to building a prototype and probably won,t, I,ve grown
complacent over the years so figured I would put it up on the
forum in case someone might make use of it.

Instead of moving a magnet past a coil or vice versa, create a path
of high permeability that moves past a stationary magnet and coil,
let the magnet do (atleast) half the work by pulling the path into
alignment and at the same time flux is cutting through the coil.

It,s easier to make an animation.  pic and gif below
