Here is my work so far. The first image is my FEMM arrangement with the Fe plate at its innermost position. The next image shows the plate at its outermost position, that is a movement of 4mm. Next is the torque v. angle for the two positions. This is just one torque, it has to be doubled for both rotations geared together. The average torque in each case is small, it would show as zero on these charts. Next I show the results for the Fe plate being suddenly pulled out 4mm at the 40 degree angle (and of course pushed back in at the 60 degree angle). The average torque is now non zero, so the machine would keep running with this Fe pumping action. My next step is to see whether the energy consumed for a single in-out pump is less than the energy gained from the 60 degree rotation.

You have drawn it better than me, but that is what I was trying to explain. The angle changes as the wheels rotate.
