Where do magnets come from? What powers the factories that shape said magnets? The earth, and coal or nuclear power, respectively.

You aren't taking things like that into account when you say it is "free energy" or what have you. Does it create enough torque to power a 3000lb car?

How much does the motor itself weigh? I know that magnets are metal, generally, and they are heavy bitches. Ever seen a 25hp electric motor? you need a forklift to pick it up. In a power-to-weight comparison, an internal combustion engine has so far always trumped electric power.
