Abstract
A magnetic device that includes a first wheel and a second wheel is provided. The first wheel has a first rotational axis and a plurality of first magnets. The second wheel is received at least in part within the first wheel. The second wheel has a second rotational axis that is generally perpendicular to the first rotational axis of the first wheel. The second magnetic wheel has a plurality of second magnets. The configuration of the plurality of first magnets and the plurality of second magnets creates magnetic fields that cause one of the first and second wheels to rotate when the other of the first and second wheels rotates.
