Question:

experimental wheel????

lets say u have a wheel on an axle. if u put a N pole of one magnet on the bottom left of that wheel, and another N pole of a magnet on the top right of that wheel will the wheel spin? and if it doesn‘t then when u give the wheel a push how long will it be before it stops turning?

Answer:

The force of repulsion between the magnets passes through the center of the wheel, so no tangential force could be generated. Also, there's that whole action/reaction thing that might screw up your theory.
