I made a test with one coil, but I think I did'nt make it right because held the coil with one hand and spind the rotor with the other then I watch the meter and read 0.8V but I had to use a big air gap to avoid touch the magnets with the coil, remember I was holding it with my hand and it isn`t very firm.

So I spect more V with a thinner air gap, hope so. I know that maybe I not going to reach 12V but I want to try it in the time a get a bigger magnets and make a new Genny





Thanks Francisco

hello mr. kooo,
 yesterday i went to some computor stores and got 7 old harddrives. now i have neo magnets . i have been experimenting for about 1 year with ceramic magnets to understand the process of generation. i found out the hard way to test the coils with the same clearance and speed as will be used in the finished genni. you can do testing with one mag. rotor , cover it with a disk of paper or cardboard that is the same thickness as your intended clearance.what ever power you get with one disk will be double with two.
