He left out more than a few details (I have seen his responses to the above
some of which were just a bit vague).

5. How much space do you have to play with
6. How much current does your PCB circuit require, what voltage.
7. Can the topology of the space be described, or better still, drawn and
placed on a website somewhere.
8. What sort of environment is this for
10. Is power the only contactless transfer you require
11. How big is the circuit on the PCB and can a slightly larger board be
accommodated.

The OP also indicated that he was looking for the supplier of brushless DC
motors. PML Flightlink would be one outfit that he could try.
