Welcome to PF.

We can probably help with some conceptual questions if you want. What kind of generator is it? What is the generator type? Approximately what physical size and electrical specs are you shooting for? Have you ever built something like this in the past? What fabrication tools do you have available to build this?
 

Thread 'Can you get pulled under a train?'

Assume that a 100m long (probably irrelevant) train travelling at 30m/s, with a mass of 100.000 Kg passes next to a man/woman of 100 Kg standing still at 1 m away from the track. Since air is massively displaced by the train, creating like a small vacuum/low pressure area next to its surface, I reckon a certain pull may be applied to anything the train passes by, so in this case a person. My question is very simple: this pull can be quantified by a force. Is this force enough to pull the...
