    Generators and Coils vs Output Volts/Amps

    I agree, so this is exactly what I'm trying not to do. I'm trying to determine how to work out the output of a generator. Is it a factor which is uncontrollable and needs to be regulated once it leaves the coils? I know how to build a generator sophiecentaur but the specifics around working...

    I know this is a bit of a newbie question but I want to learn something about generators. I want to build a simple hand cranked generator. Just a hobby. Making coils, and using magnets is the easy part but I don't understand the specifics around this. Can anyone tell me how to determine...
