The key there, is that now there is a 2ton object moving before you, and YOU have applied .01 tons of force.
That seems to me to be pretty obviously the magnet's doing, unless you have some other way to explain it.

I understand what your saying. But I guess when were talking about continuing to generate power what resets the example? Seems to me you can generate power until the point at which you have a giant piece of steel on the wall. At which point you would need 1.99 tons of force to pull the steel off the wall right? Just to put it back where you found it in the first place.
I look at that example and think battery. Charging the battery pulls the steel off the wall and away from the magnet at which point it resets allowing you to push it back.
