Or you could just buy one.
Am I wrong?

Am I wrong? The laws of thermodynamics would suggest so,

All these schemes for changing/modulating the field of a permanent magnet fail to sum all the input/output energies. For example removing the ferromagnetic material between the two opposing permanent magnets will require energy: in a perfect lossless system this energy will exactly equal any gain resulting from the altered fields and in practice it will exceed any gain.
I think it is worthy of a patent by itself
If you apply for a patent, the inspector will tell you why it won't work and isn't patentable. If you don't apply for a patent, you are giving away the most significant invention the world has ever seen.
Surely such a device would profit me as much as anyone
Not as much as the guy who does patent it and thus prevents you (or anyone else) from making one.
Surely somebody has enough familiarity with magnetism to, at least approximately, point out where in the rotation is the "sticky spot"
