Hi Jim, I've been reading up on my physics, and watching the DIY wind turbines. My physics is just first year university level, and even then, I've forgotten a lot of my physics. I'm able to make calculations for simple situations (e.g. where magnetic fields are assumed constant everywhere...

Thank you for you reply Jim, Sorry for being vague, I was just giving any related information that my dad's giving me. I see that most configurations in motors and generators have the coils in the middle and the magnets on the outer side (as shown in the lawnmower engine above). May I ask your...

My dad is working on a project where he intends to convert mechanical into electrical energy, and he was wondering if a particular magnet and coil configuration works for electricity generation. And if it does, how are the voltage and current calculated. Lets say: The coils have a diameter of...
