Imagine that the insides of the blades were magnetised to Positive, the outside to negative. So in effect, its being forced to push against each other as it rotates.... would it actually rotate is the million dollar question??

Such a device has never been built since the concept violates the laws of thermodynamics. Essentially, even in an ideal machine, with 100% efficiency, it is only possible to get enough power out of it to power the machine itself and no more. In the real world there will always be some inefficiency to deal with, such as friction and the load of the machine itself.

There's this dude in China that is building one. There was another in Australia I believe ...

We at overunity at least try it and do not sit behind a monitor and make jokes about other ones affords, just to say.

Personally I don't think just magnetizing the fans would create a powerful enough magnetic field to work. You would have to bring them very close together to get the effect. It would take electromagnets, but that defeats the purpose.
