need two separate vehicles and two magnets, one weaker then the other

so the weaker one will repell the other and it will kick forward moving the other forward and rinse and repeat at a sonic speed

thats gotta generate some kinda motion

This is basically how a ~~rail cannon~~ coil gun works, just with electromagnets that can reverse their polarity.

It's a powerful way to accelerate anything — I think it's most famously used in those types of metal roller coasters that start you at a flat-with-the-ground angle, and then just fuckin launch you up a ramp to 45° with electromagnets. The issue is that you need a fuckton of energy to do that.

What we need for true perpetual energy is to just capture that guy Blanka from Street Fighter.

Surely that dude has to eat a lot in order to produce so much energy, no? Or is it just all stored somewhere in his body?
