Could the curved magnets instead be a series of rectangular magnets
of equal size & thickness? They would need to be mounted similarly.
Somewhere I read that the ones used were special order.

Instead of the complicated slide mechanism being in the center, why
not reverse everything and place the moving magnets on the outside of
the flywheel, kind of like a piston on a crankshaft? Do this on two
sides like the animation has. Or is there a more encompassing effect
of the magnets being inside?
