North Ends of Magnets Outward with Rotating Magnet Swinging Boat

Here is a working model of a magnetic propulsion boat with no fin.
Whether or not the experiment is confirmed and repeatable depends on others but it looks pretty good so far.

In this particular concept magnets are on opposite sides of the round boat with their north poles outward. A servo turns a magnet at the center of the boat which acting like a compass draws the boat to rotate a certain amount or at least swing from side to side.

In theory when the boat turns and the magnets turn their compass power is either going in the direction of the boat or against it. In other words if the outer north end of the magnet is turning towards the south as the boat rotates the compass turning is against the direction of the boat with the north end wanting to go north and the south end of that magnet wanting to go south. In this case the magnet in the middle turning must move a little north at the axle. In the opposite consideration the north is turning north and the south end of the magnet is turning south and there is no pushing against the axle of the magnet at the middle of the boat.

Stay tuned:)
