I know they can't perform work but I am puzzled.
I have 2-100 pound pull magnets. They are in repel mode.
The top magent is mouted on a round one inch thick  steel plate nside of a
PVC tube. The other magenet rests at athe bottom of the tube.  So far it
suspends 50 pounds about 3 inched in the air. If I try and hold 50 pounds
against gravity I become a litte tired. This suggets I am expelling energy..
Is the pair of magents not doing the same thing? No work is being done but
it appears they contain energy.

No, since they doing something even better in many cases, they're
stopping work.
