How to move modulation magnet with ease in CIMFSM

[Butch]

I have attached a drawing for proof of concept CIMFSM moving magnet assembly.
I show 1/16" in the drawing as a gap, but 1/32" would be much better if you can get it that close.
If the gap is the exact same at both ends of the magnet, then the pull is equal but opposite on the magnet and it will "float" and move with ease.
3D animation of full circle design coming soon.
Thanks,

Hi Butch
I don't know it everybody is watching this,if not they should be,IMHO.
The idea is to get some juice without lenz effect,right?
To draw the wood/plastic up and down the coil,right?
Don't understand why the pm. is shown round in the bottom drawing and square in the top drawing,I must be getting something wrong!!
Look forward to the next chapter.
happy hunting.

Hi Peter,

A cylinder-shaped magnet looks like rectangular from sideviews and looks a circle from top or bottom view?
(And the wood also covers the cylinder sideview a little, making it appear a bit smaller.)

Hi Gyula
I must give this game up!!,if the top pic. is side view of disc mag.then end view would show 180 degrees one pole and 180 degrees another,and why is the wood/plastic not shown end view?
Thanks for your help.
happy hunting

Hi Peter,

I disagree,  once the cylinder magnet shown in sideview has its poles lengthwise, then its top view should be totally one of the poles and its bottom view is fully the other pole,   no way of half circle for one pole...?
What you think is when a cylinder magnet is magnetized through its diameter but here it is magnetized lengthwise as I can see from Butch's drawing.
I do not get your last question on the end view of the wood/plastic, sorry. 

The animation will surely help make all this more understandable.
