It's not possible to do a magnetic motor, for the simple reason that the forces cancel each other out.
Perendev says he used magnet insulators to remove the canceling, but that is not possible.

If you put magnets moving against each other, they will first be attracted and then repelled.
Then attracted again, then repelled again etc, everytime the movement will be smaller due to friction etc.
In a few minutes, the magnets will have found an equilibrium and no longer move.

Conservation of energy, its the Law
Conservation of energy may be the law, but there is a fat asterisk at the end very few people seem to mention... "In a closed system".
But the whole idea of a closed system is only a theoretical concept. Build any device in your basement, and guess what... It's influenced by gravity, sitting on a planet moving and spinning at great speeds, and bombarded by all sorts of radiation.
Figure out how to tap into any of that or any of the other forces and energies that we haven't even discovered yet, and you have something that looks like perpetual motion from our point of view.
It's easy to say that something is impossible because it violates this law or that principle, but lord knows that people have been bending laws and breaking rules since the dawn of time.
I think it's just a matter of time before we hit on an easy clean energy source.
