A magnetic drive includes a base plate, an energy source mounted to the base plate, a control unit, a first magnetic field generator, and a switching circuit. The energy source and the first magnetic field generator are interconnected by the switching circuit. The control unit is configured to control the switching circuit to provide energy to the first magnetic field generator. The first magnetic field generator is configured to generate a magnetic field when being supplied with energy. The control unit is configured to control the switching unit to achieve a desired polarity of the generated magnetic field to interact with the external magnetic field so that a rotational force selectively in clockwise or counterclockwise direction is generated to rotate the first magnetic field generator within the external magnetic field in a desired direction of rotation.
