Claim:
1. An apparatus for controlling the motion of a mobile component relative to a static component, the apparatus comprising: a static component comprising a plurality of magnets, wherein each magnet of the plurality of magnets is poled with magnetic domains substantially aligned in a common particular direction throughout each magnet; and a flat coil assembly physically coupled, orthogonally to the particular direction, to a set of exterior sides of the mobile component in a magnetic field of at least one magnet of the plurality of magnets and electrically coupled to a power source, and configured to adjust a position of the mobile component, relative to the static component, in parallel to the particular direction, based at least in part upon Lorentz forces, wherein the flat coil assembly comprises at least two flat coils including a first flat coil situated proximate a first exterior side of the mobile component and a second flat coil situated proximate a second exterior side of the mobile component, wherein the second exterior side is opposite the first exterior side of the mobile component, wherein each flat coil of the at least two flat coils comprises:
