Is it possible to use magnets to run a generator?

[Lee]

Like you said it is nearly impossible to search through all the patients & even if you could how from them how could you tell which ones actually work?

Honestly I was speaking to an retired air force general a few years ago my mom used to take care of.  He said he had a friend that had a working model of a generator that work based on magnets.  That it was purchased from him for a reasonable sum & he had to sign a confidentiality agreement that he could not speak about it.

When his friend asked him why he sold it he said the other option was not so appealing.

Maybe he was just a crazy old man maybe he was telling the truth?

Hi!

@all
There is another presentation of the person who claims built a working magnetic motor here:

Hi!

Also this other person made a video about a perendev motor replication working:

The story is simply not credible.  No arrangement of permanent magnets will result in perpetual motion.  It's just not how this universe works.  Furthermore, there is no such thing as a "resonable sum" for such a discovery, were it true.  It's worth would be insanely huge.

One more thing, why aren't these oil companies using these devices to sell energy cheaply, instead of spending untold sums bringing up oil?

Would your profession or background be in physics by chance? 
Perhaps no known arrangement of permanent magnets has resulted in perpetual motion so far as we know...  This might be a little less bold, but I think it is more likely to be a correct statement that will stand, wouldn't you agree?
However, I do agree with you about the oil companies and free energy patents.
