Is this system capable generating electricity, and if so if some of

electricity was used to turn the magnetic shield would it then
qualify as a
self-powered mobile?
Or is it yet another example of wishful thinking?
What say ye?
Nice graphics! The net energy to displace the field with a magnetic
shield, and then remove it, is more than the energy that can be
extracted by the coil.
