1. A permanent magnet actuator mechanism comprising:

  • a first magnet member having a permanent magnet element wherein the first magnet member is displaceable between a first position and second position;

    a second magnet member having a permanent magnet element wherein the second magnet member is displaceable between a first position and a second position;

    a containment structure wherein the magnet element of the first magnet member is proximately positioned to the magnet element of the second magnet member and the magnets are maintained in substantial repulsion; and

    , wherein displacement of one of said first and second magnet members from one of said first and second positions to the other of said first and second positions actuates the opposite displacement of the other of said first and second magnet members from the opposite one of said first and second positions to the other of said first and second positions.
