Well, it's not really a perpetual motion machine....that would be impossible. It just an idea i had involving magnets set in a way around another set of magnets, all set up in a vacuum.

Sure, I'd love to tell you why you're wrong. ;-)

There's more to it than keeping something moving forever. In newtonian physics, thats easy to do, just apply a force to an object and without any external forces (gravity/friction [space]) it will perpetually "move" forever.
The key to any perpetual motion machine is that you have to be able to extract energy from it. And unless you've figured out a way to rewrite modern physics, it's not possible.

I could go on about the laws of thermodynamics but life is too short. Why is that now people accept that alchemy is not possible but still waste time on the impossible dream of perpetual motion machines?

I would, since I am the only person to make a real perpetual motion device that works, I'd love to hear about yours. none of my models include a vacuum, so it will be fun to hear how you use it in your device.

Your rotating magnet system would not even work in a vacuum..there would be energy losses due to hysteresis producing heating and radiating energy.
No problems with real PM machines per se, except they run down when you extract energy from them or get them to do useful work.
Maybe you should invest your efforts in getting muon catalised fusion to work exothermically or using a super hadron collider to produce a micro black hole which can be fed with matter for almost 100% mass>energy conversion. Not in my back yard though!

It's in production mate. A group of irish scientists already created it. It's called Steorn. Yep, free energy. www.steorn.ie

Sure....let's hear it.
Note: Why the vacuum? Would the air friction be an impediment?

Nah...Mine works just fine, all I have to do is replace the batteries once in a while.

Yes I would!
