Can you link to that patent?
Back in the 90s when I worked on computer equiupment I collected several motors from disk and tape drives as well as printers. I built a few things the best was a large ribbon tweeter from CDC 9766 alnico magnets and 1/4" thick angle iron. It worked but didn't sound that good. I gave away most but still have some angular actuators and large voice coils from printers. Those voice coils can jump the gap with a 5lb weight and 12vdc.
