Abstract
An apparatus for demonstrating magnetic force comprises a plurality of disc-shaped rotors angularly displaced from each other on a common shaft and a number of magnets equispaced along the rims of the rotors. Stationary field magnets encircle the rotors in close proximity to the rotor magnets with like-poles of the rotor magnets and the field magnets facing each other. A high permeance magnetic shield is located in the air gap between each field magnet and the rotor to block opposing magnetic fluxes. Magnetic attraction between the rotor magnets and field magnets tend to rotate the rotor. In one embodiment, the shield at each field magnet is mounted on a pivot and is moved out of the air gap by arms attached to the rotor. The rotor magnets are first attracted to the magnetic shield, and, as a corresponding rotor and field magnet approach each other during rotation of the rotor, one of the arms causes the shield to pivot out of the gap to expose the rotor magnet to the field magnet. This creates a magnetic repulsion 'kick' tending to further rotate the rotor. A weighted portion of the shield below the pivot, and an additional set of arms rotating with the rotor, automatically reposition the shield during rotation of the rotor. In another embodiment, stationary magnetic shielding located in the air gap is shaped to block only a portion of each field magnet from the gap. As the rotor is rotated toward the shielding by magnetic attraction, a 'flywheel effect' causes the rotor magnet to swing past the shielding into view of the partially exposed field magnet to create the additional kick.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
