Is there a working, actual model, or just the simulations and animations? 

There is only these animations and simulations until now
and a prototype must be build to prove this these simulations.

And no to Lumen, a simulation shows of course a force onto the rotor
as it is also a magnet ! The forces are calculated via the volume integrals in the airgap.

If I understand correctly, the inner and outer rings (With all the small magnets on them) are stationary, and the middle ring is rotary?

The Simon magnet motor(SMM) uses the principle of moment of magnetic shear forces to rotate a pivoted ring magnet; the three ring magnets are in attraction mode, but they can also be in repulsion mode, i.e the inner and outer ring magnets can be in repulsion mode relative to the middle, pivoted ring magnet.

While experimenting with some magnets to see whether the tiny oblique magnets would incline the magnetic fields of the three ring magnets, I noticed that the tiny oblique magnets can indeed do so, and that the extend they to which they do this is affected by the flux density of the three ring magnets.

From series of simulations, I discovered that the output torque was affected by the following physical factors:
(1) The flux density of all the magnets in the motor;
(2) The heights of the magnets;
(3) The radii of the three ring magnets;
(4) The thickness of the three ring magnets;
(5) The inclination angle of the tiny oblique magnets; and
(6) The number of the tiny oblique magnets.

The output torque of the SMM is directly proportional to the flux density and the heights of all the magnets. It is directly proportional to the radii of the ring magnets; also it is proportional to the number and the inclination angle of the tiny oblique magnets. But it is inversely proportional to the thickness of the ring mafnets...

In other words, the behaviour of the motor can be perfected described mathmatically.

If H, B are respectively the height and the flux density of all the magnets; if R and D are respectively the radius and thickness of any of the ring magnet; and if N and Q are respectively the number and inclination angle of the tiny oblique nagnets; then the torque T of the motor would be equal to the right hand side of the equation given below.

T= K * H^a * B^b * R^c * D^-d * N^e * Q^f

K is the constant and its exact value can be gotten from experiment. The values of the powers a, b, c, d, e, and f can be gotten from dimensional analysis...

@Stefan

I have a moving GIF animation of such system, but I cannot post it here because your forum corrupts animated GIF files.

Can anyone export the file for maxwell 11 and post it here? This file is for maxwell 14
 I don't know If it can be done somehow

I got the 11 version and it doesn't open the project.. Thanks
