Yes, the issue is time in repulsion/attraction. Also, it seems that the repulsion portion does more to negate the attracting field than damage the rotor magnet. > I imagine that the timing/rotation frequencies/diameters of all the magnet > rotors must have a major effect on the robustness of the motor.

That gradient depends on the size of the magnets. The small magnets require small effort to stop the motor. But, by the inverse square law, the large magnets require much more effort. > Is a perpetual motion claim really being made for this motor?
