Will this magnet motor work?

[Flantoons]

Can you please tell me whether you think this magnet motor will work or not?
If not then what is the reason why not.

Most magnet motors seem to have a bad press, so I don't hold much hope for this one:

Thank you.

Perpetual motion machines don't work - it's not usually worth discussing it because the people who believe in them REALLY beleive.
But if you are interested see

Magnet ones, in particular, are difficult to explain without a lot of maths - but if it looks too good to be true, it is!

Simple answer, NO.
