When you speak of dead wire I presume you are referring to the wire along the top and bottom of each coil. I guess I missed that in your comment, although I was aware of the issue. That wire is there to complete the loop. Every design has to put up with it. To minimize its effect you have the magnet be as large as the inside of the coil. Also make the magnets and coils round. The alternator should still work in that case, but don't expect nice rectangular pulses.GeoM[ Parent ]
just my guess, but it looks like you can get the more power from the same mags and less wire, by going with smaller coils.
