The idea here is to mechanically move the diamond 10 inches and rotate it 1/2 a turn. I decided a simple solution to this problem would be to move the the diamond along with a pulley and rotate it using the magnetic forces. Both the pulley for the diamond and the magnet, which are operated manually in the video, could be operated by a small motor. Also, with smaller stronger magnets the magnetic force alone would be sufficient to rotate the diamond and the pulley system currently in place for the magnet could be eliminated.
