Magnetic propulsion, is it possible?

I guess, what you are asking about is called Ion Thrusters and it's already used in space exploration. It creates thrust by accelerating ions using electricity.
Another common application is in maglev trains, which use magnets to lift and propel the train forward with minimal friction.
