I'm not sure where your Zero Volt line is on your scope, but As I understand it . . .
Arranging the magnets North-South-North-South-North-South is doubling your voltage. The norths passing the coil pull the voltage to the Plus side of the zero line, then the Souths passing the coil pull the voltage to the Negative side of the zero line, the combination is double the AC voltage.
I would be courious to see the scopes waveform using only 2 magnets and passing the coil as North-South ? )}=- W o o f -={(
The results of two magnets passing one coil one time would depend on the magnet to magnet spacing. But that was not the bone of contention in the original discussion. There are lots of fun variations you can try with coil leg width, inter coil spacing, coil hole size compared to magnet size, etc etc etc ad infinitum. But I wanted to bring clarity to the most fundamental issue of what happens when one magnet passes one coil one time. If we can't agree on that we're beat.
Good luck and have fun!
