System and method for achieving controlled movement of at least one magnet

A system for achieving controlled movement of at least one first magnet (108;

• 202), wherein the movement is caused by a repulsive force from at least one second magnet (103, 104, 105;
• 204), comprising maintaining the first magnet in alignment with one of the at least one second magnets (103, 104, 105;
• 204) such that a line (E-E) running through both centers (C, D) of the magnets, is not perpendicular to the magnetic axis (A-A, B-B) of any of the magnets prior to movement of the first magnet (108;
• 202).

A method for controlling movement of at least one first magnet (108;

• 202), wherein the movement is caused by a repulsive force from at least one second magnet (103, 104, 105;
• 204), comprising the following steps:
• aligning the at least one first magnet (108;
• 202), and the at least one second magnet (103, 104, 105;
• 204) such that a line (E-E) running through a center (C) of the first magnet and a center (D) of the second magnet, is not perpendicular to the magnetic axes (A-A, B-B) of any of the magnets,
• placing the at least one first magnet (108;
• 202) in close proximity to the at least one second magnet (103, 104, 105;
• 204) while retaining the respective magnets, and
• releasing the first magnet (108, 202).
