The present invention has an object to provide a rotating mechanism with a very high rotation efficiency in which rotation resistance is reduced and rotation is encouraged. It comprises a fixed member (1) having bearings (16, 18) ; a rotary member (2) including a rotary shaft (21) journalled by the bearings and a disk member (22) fixed on the rotary shaft; a plurality of coils (3) which are mounted on the fixed member (1) and arranged at regular intervals on a circle centered on the rotary shaft (21) ; and a first permanent magnet (4) mounted on the disk member (22) , wherein first permanent magnets (4) are arranged at regular intervals on a circle centered on the rotary shaft (21) and arranged to face the coils (3) .
