Help with this Brushless Generator Design Please

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on designing a brushless generator using concentric rings of magnets and coils, with each ring functioning as an individual generator. The user seeks advice on connecting the three outputs into one, despite varying power levels from each ring. There is a need to determine the polarity of the magnets, which will be alternately oriented. The user is open to more efficient arrangements of the magnets and is considering potential changes to the inner ring due to hub stiffness issues. Overall, the design aims to optimize power generation while addressing structural challenges.

TL;DR Summary
Hi, my first post here, thanks for checking it out!

I am trying to design a generator, which is a mix of several design's I like, based on the attached sketch which indicates layout of magnets and coils...
These components are layed out in concentric rings, the coils of each ring wired as an individual generator... I would like to connect these 3 outputs into one, is this possible? Each ring will produce different levels of power, although I've not done any calcs on potential outputs etc...

I think we need to know the polarity of the magnets.

The magnets will be oriented N/S alternately (I thought this was a constant, however, if there are more efficient arrangements, I'm all ears), and I think will shift one "step" for each ring
 
It is possible the inner ring will change drastically or even be eliminated, as the stiffness of the hub will be an issue
 
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
