Spining Sphere magnet inside rim of coils how do u calculate voltage

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on calculating the voltage produced by a spinning Neodymium magnet inside a vacuum tube, surrounded by coils of wire. Key factors influencing voltage include the magnet's size and strength, its rotational speed, the number of coil turns, and the wire's gauge. It is noted that connecting a load to the system will halt the magnet's motion, necessitating an external power source to maintain its spin. Theoretical calculations are encouraged, with an emphasis on understanding the relationship between these variables. Overall, the conversation highlights the complexities of electromagnetic induction in this hypothetical setup.

Can we please imagine that a sphere Neodymiun magnet with a diameter of one inch was suspended or leviated, reducing friction to none, then we put this magnet inside an acrylic tube that created a vacuum by pumping out all the air out allowing the sphere to spin at enormous velocity with very minimal effort. Also bare with me and imagine 8 coil setup around this spining magnet, forming a circle or octogan around this, the coils surround can be of any basic magnetic or copper wire of your choosing and the loops it created would be made to creat a certain voltage. What would be the formula to figure out, depending on the numbers of turns and gauge of wire of the coils, the voltage produced? This would depend on the sizE and strength of the magnetic its speed (revolutions per second) the number of turns of the coil and length of wire. Can some one give me a place to start. I am not a engineer but i am very interested in some of your ideas. The coil and length of the wire and type can be inserted by you if you don't mind. Please return or comment. This is just a imaginary case, so please do not try and attack because of leviation, this a purely theoretical case.

The output voltage depends on some parameters.
However, if you connect any load (resistance) to the terminals, the magnet will stop.
So, you will need some external power source to keep the magnet spinning.
 
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...
