Why we can’t attach some magnets onto a turbine and set them up to repel each other, causing the turbine to spin and producing energy.
Is it just not efficient? Or is there something else at play that would prevent this from working?

Magnets have two ends. One end pushes against (repels) another when you line them up. Twist one magnet around, and they now pull together (attract).
In the circle inside a circle you’re thinking of, a magnet repels the magnet inside it. The next magnet in line now has its end that is attracted to the pusher outside. You might think that the magnets now pulling the next one is good. But no, it’s not trying to pull it so fast it goes by just to fling it away. It’s pulling it to try to stick together. So eventually the pushers equal the pullers and they just sit in place.
