Claim Text:
1. An apparatus for coupling magnetic forces into motive force, the apparatus comprising: a spinner arm comprising: a magnetic power bed comprising a first magnetic boost element and a second magnetic boost element, wherein said first and second magnetic boost elements are positioned with respect to said spinner arm such that at least a portion of said helical array of magnets will pass between said first and second magnetic boost elements as said spinner arm rotates about the second axis of rotation and wherein said helical array of magnets and said first and second magnetic boost elements are cooperatively arranged so that magnetic interaction between said helical array of magnets and said first and second magnetic boost elements causes said spinner arm and said helical array of magnets to rotate about the first axis of rotation as at least a portion of said helical array of magnets passes between said first and second magnetic boost elements, and wherein said first and second magnetic boost elements define a tri-field arrangement of magnetic flux whereby said first magnetic boost element comprises two magnetic blocks separated by a magnetically-responsive material and said second magnetic boost element comprises a single magnetic block.
