Optimizing Magnet Size and Wire Gauge for High-Powered Magnetic Generator Design

[barendfaber]

Hi,

I hope someone can help me. Looking at the attached picture design of a magnetic generator, I would like to try and build my own.

If I had to build a generator producing 60 kW at 240 rpm, how big should the magnets be, and what gauge copper wire and length should I use? If I would like to generate 60 kW at a higher rpm, say 480 rpm, how would this affect the size of the magnets I need to use, as well as the gauge and length of the copper wire?

...oh, boy...

As the size of the magnet grows so does its requirements for physical space,use simple multiplication . Good Luck!
