OK
If its just rotor with magnets and coils on the stator, your just waisting a bunch of copper.
Lenz Free Ecklin-Brown style generator is the only way to go.
You gotta make everything real tight and put a little felt on your rotor so it never completely makes contact with the magnets while at low speeds. the attraction goes away though at higher speed.
They need to be big magnets. 2" radius half in thick. So the rotor will want to stick. During storage you have to pin it away from the magnets.
The rotor as shown in the pictures is an attachment blade for weed eaters. You can pick them up for 10 dollars or something.
The coils do better when constructed short and fat with cores of soft iron welding rods. You can also premagnetize the rods in the opposite direction to get not only a small gain but a more radial sine wave. Do this by bundling the rods with bailing wire, heating the entire bundle up, adding magnets in the correct direction and cooling quickly. Then repeat Until you can pick up a paper clip with just the iron.
When you store it you have to cover the magnets with something metal to prevent the constant saturation of the coils. Which will cause polarization in the wrong direction.
Mount the magnets on a NON ferrous material. You can use both sides as well and daisy chain the thing together.
This generator is only hard to start. Once its up and running you have little t know resistance and should have a very cold current that will run on small wire, as well as charge batteries negatively.
Mind you it may not measure over unity but if you are slick and not consuming power to turn the motor you'll have real nice setup.
And NO you cannot see mine, build your own.
