I think the reason people turn to magnets when trying to build perpetual motion devices is that it is harder to understand energy conservation in this context, and furthermore it seems more magical. The fact is, the laws governing electromagnetic interactions are very well known, incorporate conservation of energy. There is the point of "what if the scientists are wrong?" Science, indeed can be wrong sometimes. But if this particular knowledge was off by more than utterly microscopic amount, the computer you use to read this message, the communication equipment, the power equipment, the generators, the hard drive in the computer storing this message, and so on, would not have been possible to engineer.   Continue.....
