The magnetic pull will gradually fail over time thanks to the element halflife and will always vary slightly with the shift in the magnetic pole (of the Earth). Therefore a decrease in the power supplied follows, ergo not a perpetual motion machine. I did a bit of research into this for something else and this tidbit stuck in my head. Slashdot also had a similar story a few months ago but can't be arsed to look through the archives...

If something like this did exist, we would never get to see it. The fuel companies would buy the inventor's plans, hardware and their silence.

Anyone being able to do this would be worth at least a couple of nobel prices and all the fucking money they'd ever want. If a fuel company'd buy it, they would make much more money actually using it.
Not that it matters since there's no way you can make something like that.

You can tell by Naomi Robson's hair.
Also she left the Today Tonight show at the end of 2006 because she swore at the auto-cue on-air.
