Abstract: A periodic arrangement of magnets are used to form structures that channel the potential energy that a magnet possesses into kinetic energy in a controlled fashion to perform some useful work or some function. One apparatus that performs a function is created from a pair of magnetic arrangements formed in a radial pattern around a central magnet and securing each arrangement within a disk that is fabricated from a non-magnetic material. The pair of disks can be manipulated which, in some cases, flips an upper disk 180 degrees and snaps to and overlays the lower disk.
