A The unwinding coil (teaching experience sharing)
It is just for teaching experience sharing. Consider a uniform disk. A stretchless and massless wire has been wound on the disk. The end of the wire is attached to the ceiling. Initially the system is at rest as it is shown at the picture. Then the disk is released. It falls down and rotates and...- wrobel

How do you calculate power from a magnet in a coil?
I don't really know but if I were to guess it would be based on how many turns are in the coil, the diameter of the coil and the flux of the magnet. Unfortunately I couldn't find a formula anywhere.- Gemcutter
