thank you ed. for post and the details and pic.
but i think i must be to dumb to build this one.
i thought maybe one coil like this () and the mags just passed it over.
but more to this than meets the eye.
i need sumthing in the five to six year old range.
as a toy anyway .

its a ill wind that dos no good

Nice design Ed,
A bit more to it than I expected, I had to google 'silicone steel', I now understand its importance within the design.

An 'exploded or sectional view' may also help others understand the concept, not sure how that could be done easily though..

Also of interest,
I found a company in the states that makes mini alternators for unmanned vehicle subsystems, incl coreless designs, I suspect they are hugely expensive, but worth a look imho.

i was puzzled by the layout as well
i must admit i peeked in your files
and discovered this latest image before you posted it .
there is a bit more to this one than the 6 mag single coil unit.
(which in itself was dam clever)
but this one is wicked smart!!

just curious, is the inner pole piece an off cut of the outer pole piece?

i also want to compliment you on the design of the end caps of your mill .
and the way you can secure both ends with that single threaded rod.
that is nice design at work !
