Magnetic wind.
@Gambeir,
The spinning magnet acts just like a fan blade. We can stop the fan blade and a column of air continues to travel through space. The challenge would be to direct the "Magnetic Wind" around a Hull the way we do air to create lift. It would be a lot easier to spin a large magnet inside a "Saucer" then it would be to spin a ducted fan blade!
