Magnets

Ahoy
well I got these two magnets as a christmas present. I have been interested in magnetic energy as a possible alternative energy source for our world. I saw on tv a couple weeks ago a prototype engine that was a magnet engine. In the demonstrastion the engine turned on a light bulb with out being pluged into the wall or running on batteries, very cool it was. The inventor said he had 350,000 dollars invested in his engine. Once the engine was started it would run for years only using magnets as its primary energy source, it probally would run forever but I think eventuraly the magnets loose the power but im not for sure.
