TL;DR
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
