The picture below is a example of how the stator magnets would be mounted in a step configuration track. The attracting rotor magnet would turn from left to right as shown by the arrows on the stator. The small sticky spot is at the flush mounted magnet at about center of the stator. If we did not continue the magnet steps in phases, we would face a large attraction force in trying to leave the track. So it must continue in phases in a loop to retain a small sticky spot in between phases. This is a very strong one directional stator track so caution is advised. Look below to see drawing.
