During my experimental research on permanent magnet–electromagnet systems, I observed a net axial force generated not by the Lorentz mechanism, but by a direct combination of net repulsion and net attraction between magnetic sources. This Direct Magnetic Interaction (DMI) Force arises from well-known magnetic laws (like poles repel, unlike poles attract), yet it doesn’t fit into classical electromagnetic models that rely on perpendicular force vectors.

It acts along the axis of interaction, not perpendicular to it, and enables permanent magnets to actively contribute mechanical work in motor systems. This mechanism has been verified through reproducible experiments and multiple working prototypes. A mathematical model has also been evolved to describe the force.

Could this suggest a gap in how magnetic force systems have been modeled, especially in the context of energy-contributing field sources? I would greatly value the insights, critiques, or references of fellow researchers.
