First of all, none of the following are perpetual motion machines. These drives are totally contained. My friend informed me that NASA developed a new kind of spacecraft drive that uses 4 magnets. Two are the parallel stationary magnets and have their S poles mounted on the aft of the ship, the other 2 magnets are the equadistantly moving magnets inside a gigantic coil of wire that goes from one of the N poles of the stat magnets to the other. The two moving magnets are locked in place with their S poles adjacent to each other. When they're unlocked, the S poles repel each other and the moving magnets move to where they are parallel and their N poles are adjacent to the N poles of the stat magnets. The N poles of the stat magnets repel the magnets back to their starting positions and the N poles of the moving magnets repel the N poles of the stat magnets away (along with the rest of the ship).

I was thinking that this would be sort of good for a sneak attack since the fighter or torpedo or shuttle could be cloaked and there would be no energy trail that could be detected. There would be EM radiation from the magneticcoil drive given off though, perhaps it could be camoflauged by ECMs, decoys.
