I also feel that these super powerfull neodinium magnets are good enough that you would not need that many.
Consider the NdFeB N42 magnets, these have a pulling/ pushing power of nearly 24 Kg for a retangular block of about 50x25x10mm. Thats huge.
Thats virtually a sack of potatoes.

It may not have to be enclosed. This was an after thought on a video i saw on youtube of a green rubber skatebourd wheel drilled out into a V shape and pressed magnets into it. He was using one stator magnet to rotate the rotor. I used 3 on this just to over come the effect of when it reaches the end of the v. i.e the end of the V gate can only pass one stator at a time, leaving 2 stators rotating the rotor. I would really like to build this little unit just as a proof of concept but i have no spare funds what so ever as ive been out of work for the past 12 months.
