magnets
« on: April 30, 2012, 09:39:45 PM »
I was wondering, if building a generator from scratch, can you use multiple small magnets if you set them up correctly ie polarity or do you need to use larger single magnets? The reason that I ask is that I came across some small neodymium magnets at a shop today but they are only 3/8". Could they be assembled to make, say, a 1 1/2" square magnet?

Thanks, I have been having some issues finding the right size magnets. Most of the websites for windgens that I have looked on are sold out.
