Has a neat force calculator. It shows an interesting relationship if
you pick a geometry and vary the size:

As my forensic engineer friend has pointed out, this calculator shows
an even more interesting relationship if you fix the size and vary the
gap between magnets. It would appear that if you stay on the knee of
the curve (don't get too close nor too far apart) and used a six magnet
rotor spaced at 60 degrees, the attractive force gradient to the stator
of the other five combined will drive number six "over the hump" at the
smallest gap without an electromagnet.
He used 1 inch cubed Neo 45s in his calculation.
Sirius implications here, folks. Perendev beware! <g>
