Not that expensive and it makes for a cool party trick.

There's a company called Magnadrive that uses this principle to build "contactless" couplers for engines. The power is transfered over an airgap via Eddy currents so vibration, shock, etc are greatly reduced... Really cool shit. We've used them on some specialized pump applications and they came in and did this demo (seen in the first vid) in the office one day and let us play with their uber-strong magnets with the warning that if we crushed a finger or something they weren't liable.
Adjustable Speed Drive and magnetic coupling solutions from MagnaDrive are ideal for a wide range of applications. Contact us to learn more!

I'm fascinated by magnets. I bought some of those Bucky Balls and they're my favorite toy. Ever.
