LaFonte Group Pseudo Solid Magnetic Research
We have found way to move cancellation magnets back to the empty bar set without doing any work so the cycle can restart.

You should see this with 20 NIB magnets in each bar set for a total of 40 grade 48 NIB magnets 1" x 1"! The power is dangerous.
Will disclose rotary version after filing.

Sorry, will reset that now. Thanks for letting me know.

Luc, When building the design in linear form, there are a few points to mention. The bars should be spaced about .020' wider that the magnets and the magnets need to have a .010" thick smooth sliding spacer on each end of the magnet. If the magnet is exactly between the bars it will float and you can move it with the touch of a feather. One thing to watch out for, we made a long version of the linear bars and the magnets were so strong that it pulled the 1" square 1080 steel bars inward at the middle of the bar length and caused the magnets to bind.
You have to secure the bars on the outer surfaces so they can't bow in. You can crush you fingers with this design so be careful. But just move the opposite pole magnets to the other bar set to isolate the flux to that bar set only and you have turned off the magnets with the touch of a feather. To get an idea what you are dealing with here just imagine a bar set 20 feet long with 200 NIB magnets in each bar set for a total of 400 NIB magnets and the pull between the two bars sets would be enough to lift a car off the ground. But with the touch of a little finger you can move the magnets to isolation mode and the bars seperate. Fun stuff right? I will disclose soon how to move he opposite pole magnets back to the seperated and empty bar set. You will love how we did it! Pseudo Solid is the best idea I have ever come up with.
