Claim:
1. A rotary magnet motor comprising: a stator having a stator magnetic structure distributed in a generally involute configuration about an axis of rotation to define a rotor cavity, said stator magnet structure having a first end, a second end, a stator gap between said first end and said second end, and one or more first magnets defining a first magnetic face directed generally inward toward said axis of rotation, said first magnetic face having a first polarity; a rotor having one or more rotor magnetic structures distributed in a generally circular configuration about said axis of rotation and disposed in said rotor cavity, each of said rotor magnet structures having a first end, a second end and one or more second magnets defining a second magnetic face directed generally toward said first magnetic face of said stator magnetic structure, said second magnetic face having a second polarity opposite said first polarity; means for rotatably supporting said rotor magnetic structure generally within the same plane as said stator magnetic structure to allow rotation of said second magnets inwardly of said first magnets; means at said first end of said stator magnetic structure for generating a magnetic pulse of said first polarity, said magnetic pulse generating means operatively connected to a stator base and configured to direct said magnetic pulse toward said second magnetic face when said first end of said rotor magnetic structure is in said stator gap; and each of said first magnets and said second magnets are permanent magnets.
