The electromagnetic trains use linear induction motors. A rotary
induction motor drives your washing machine . No big new theories or
discoveries. No magical sources of energy.
How do you expect magnets to turn turbine generators? What rotates the
magnets?
The mechanical input (from water, steam, etc. ) to the mechanical device
known as a turbine is converted to electrical output in the electromagnetic
machine known as a generator -which the turbine drives. Conservation of
energy is involved- output plus losses =input. Losses, however small, are
forever with us so output will always be less than input.
Yes there are magnets involved in the generator but the magnets supply no
energy to the process.
