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
 
While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...
Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?
Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
