the coils on the back are influenced at the same time as are the ones on the front are influenced at the same time but the ones on the back will not be parallelled with the ones on the front!You could put two coils in parallel, with the same polarity, provided a magnet influences both equally at the same time.
in spice can you model the both halves of the ACwaveform? along with putting the coils that are in phase, in parallel, thanks Mr Alec_tBecause the circuit configuration uses both halves of the AC waveform and is in effect a voltage doubler.
How come, if the magnets on the back are angularly offset from those on the front, as shown in post #417?the coils on the back are influenced at the same time as are the ones on the front!


yes this is the correct wave I think do you mean that I should have more than eight magnets either side? It's possible to be 10 on either side I thinkFrom the above pic it seems an N pole will be passing all four coils at the same time. Is that what you want? This should allow for a greater current by parallelling coils, but at the expense of greater ripple in the voltage. Isn't it usual with this type of generator to have a magnet number which is not an integral multiple of the coil number, to minimise ripple?
By having alternating magnet poles per face of the disc I think each coil will produce an output voltage vaguely like this (but with more rounded peaks) :

The wave won't be a true sine-wave, because the coil inductance will vary as a magnet moves near it and the coil energisation is discontinuous.that wave you mentioned I like the look of it
