Choose between two:

A. Permanent magnet motors( Being the shaft/rotor)
B. Non-magnetic material( Same being the shaft/rotor)

Give me you're answer and a detailed explanation why please!

The answer is: it depends on the application.

Why?
What the difference between both of um?
 
Have you googled this or checked wikipedia yet? We don't like spoonfeeding here.

I've looked around really didn't find the answered I needed mostly found rubbish on "free-energy"...
It would be nice for you and someones else to help out someone who needs it.
