Why won't a permanent Magnet Motor work?
I was talking with a friend of mine the other day about being able to replace electro magnets in a motor with permanent magnets, with the intent of driving a generator to produce electricity. He was quick to say that it was impossible (He's an engineer) to produce over parity. I asked why and he answered because it defies physics. I took a pencil and four magnet's off of his desk taped 3 magnets to the pencil and set it on his tape dispenser and held the fourth magnet to it and the pencil began to spin. I asked him "if I can do this in 3 minutes with stuff off of your desk, do you really think people with the intelligence and resources of say M.I.T. couldn't produce a spinning shaft with enough magnetic force to turn a generator shaft?" Also I saw a demonstration of the Meissner effect that looks very close to what I am talking about on a smaller scale. And here is a link to a patented permanent Magnet motor I found. So what do you think?

And are you allowed to have any guns at all? I've always thought aussies and americans had similar views on independence and self reliance, so it was a shock when your gun ban took place.
