There's something weird-but-interesting (or interesting-but-weird, if you prefer!) going on here...
The following image, while not the best representation, alludes to it...

Basically, the way I conceptualize it, is as follows:
Given two simple magnets (A and C) in motion, approaching one another's proximity, but not on the same plane so as to cause impact, as might be the case inside of an electric motor -- the magnetic flux will swing in normal predictable ways...
Nothing to see there...
But given four (or more) magnets, A, B, C, D -- where A and B are close to one another and fixed in position and cannot move relative to one another, but both of them can move as a group, relative to magnets C and D (who are also similarly fixed in position near one another, and can't move relative to one another, but both C and D can move as a group, relative to the position of A and B)...
Well, given all of that, there would seem to be some magnetic arrangements of A and B (and C and D) -- where the fields generated by the combined orientation of A and B -- will swing wildly when approached (and subsequently receded by) C and D...
These magnetic arrangements, orientations, of 4 magnets or more, with sets of two being fixed in position -- could be worth exploring -- based on the wild field swings they could potentially produce...
Applications?
Well, I don't as-of-yet know! But the future, I'm sure -- might invent some!
For now however -- it might make for some interesting, purely curiosity-driven explorations!
