iFred,
I think Monte explained it better than I could. Remember there are 6 magnets on the disc. Each magnet or pole would be over the top of each leg. The way you have it diagramed you have a pole over each slot in which case there would be some canceling. I'm using the small 1" x .5" x 1/8" magnets with the kit which really doesn't take advantage of the potential. If you filled the disc with 6 triangular magnets you could increase its output by over 2 times.
Also, I put one together as a dual rotor and its quite impressive for the small wire it uses although the blades really need to be larger for low winds when this is done.
Lots of fun in any case!
