Question by Lucifer: Is it possible to build an engine that runs on magnetic power?
If you somehow arranged magnets on a cilinder with their south ends facing inward and a separate smaller cilinder inside with magnets with their north ends facing the south ends of the magnets of the other cilinder; (i hope you know what i’m talking about cuz i don’t) could this idea somehow become a power generating machine?

No.
perpetual motion machines are not possible, they violate the laws of physics.
Bottom line: You can’t get something for nothing, you can’t even come close.

No.
Perpetual motion machine,problem is you have to move the Magnetic fields to move the Mechanical parts and it causes more work than you get out of the Mechanical part
it depends on if one of the magnets is an electromagnet, then you could turn on and off this electromagnet as you wish or change its polarity and then maybe it would work . Its energy would come from a battery and you wouldn’t violate the second law of thermodynamics.
Yes, and some electric motors allready use that technology
