A magnetically actuated system includes a conductor and a magnetic field
apparatus to generate a magnetic field. The magnetic field apparatus includes
magnets and magnetically permeable materials to focus the magnetic field in
areas of the conductor that produce a drive torque when the conductor carries a
current.
