Wouldn't it be better to keep the wires static (stator) and put the magnets in rotation (rotor)?
This way there won't be any dragging force in the wires due to the Lorent Force because the wires are now fixed on the stator.
Please tell if this reasoning is right or maybe I am completely wrong.
As far as I understand there are two effects opposing the current generation:
1- The Lenz effect which produce a opposing magnetic field reducing the magnets field
2- This dragging force (Lorentz Force)
