You could make one with ionized water, two neodymium magnets and a power supply with copper contacts. The idea is that the cross product of the electric and magnetic fields produces a force in the perpendicular vector. I built one in high school physics and if you have the means, it's a fun little project, but it doesn't produce much force at all.

Have you been watching The Hunt for Red October? Anything is possible, but it would take an enormous amount of energy, since there is a negligible amount of metallic or charged ions in water.
