     Thanks for that suggestion Finn, I like it. Pretty up to snuff with not thinking just inside the box. By the way, I am using 8 magnets per disc but it will be 16 magnets total for dual rotor. Does that change anything?

     This brings up memories of other posts where it was disputed if the power came from the coil legs or from the coil as a whole. This design will cut the "legs" by half. I can easily do a test with a single rotor without gluing the magnets. First with magnets the traditional way, then sideways. The test coil will be the same size either way so I just rotate it 90 degrees also. I may not put that argument to bed but I can post real comparisons.

It's already been done, the test I mentioned above. I found this post in Finn's postings,

Looks like DanB did the exact same test. Well, it wouldn't hurt my education to do it also. A little more shop time instead of book time...

I tried a rotated coil design. This with a third coil on the inside. The idea was to affect the legs only. Have a Look! This was my first experiment with generator building. Goofy looking I know but read the results. I was happy. I will try a 36 mag.18 coil 16" rotar w/traditional coil design next. just to see the diff.
