Claim 10:
11. A method for forming a magnet array structure, comprising:
forming a first linear magnet array comprising a first arrangement of magnets, in which the first arrangement of magnets is repeated along a length of the first linear magnet array, wherein the first arrangement of magnets comprise individual first magnet elements; and
forming a second linear magnet array comprising a second arrangement of magnets, in which the second arrangement of magnets is repeated along a length of the second linear magnet array, wherein the second arrangement of magnets comprise individual second magnet elements
arranging the individual first magnet elements along the length of the first linear magnet array so that no net magnetic forces parallel to the length of the first linear magnet array result on the first arrangement of magnets;
arranging the individual second magnet elements along the length of the second linear magnet array so that no net magnetic forces parallel to the length of the second linear magnet array result on the second arrangement of magnets;
wherein the first arrangement of magnets has a same length along the length of the first linear magnet array as the second arrangement of magnets along the length of the second linear magnet array,
wherein the first linear magnet array is arranged parallel to the second linear magnet array, and
wherein the first arrangement of magnets along the length of the first linear magnet array is offset from the second arrangement of magnets along the length of the second linear magnet array so that the first arrangement of magnets and the second arrangement of magnets partially overlap.
