do give me your comment on why you think it wouldn't works.

so, what would happen to the magnet in last picture?

You can't block magnitism with a foil food wraper.
so what stuff we need to block magnetism?

@WildOtter:
no, i am not familiar with Gauss rifle

@Stewart H:
so what stuff shield the magnetic field?

@dukalink6...
are they gonna sue me for that violation?? :P

`Why won't it work? One word. Entropy.

What's the "splitter" ? What forces would be acting on it, and are those forces in your model? How does it move out of the way at the right time? Does this require energy input?
Are you familiar with the Gauss rifle? I think you are basically building a circular model of a Gauss rifle.

It might spin and "appear" to be perpetual, but the magnets would saturate over time and it will stop. Could be a useful type engine though for charghing batteries etc. If one could perfect it. There are many designs like that, but as far as I know, none really work.

Metal foil does not shield a static magnetic field!
Before you go about designing things, make sure the materials that you use actually behave in the manor that you would like them to.

Won't work, as you violate the second law of thermodynamics.
Even Homer Simpson knows that!

friction. you will lose to friction.
magnetism: don't magnet evetually lose thier charge?
whats teh point? it is only usefull if it does something. if you cant get electricity from it, it is worthless.

Yes, it would go on forever...If I hurl it into space...
