    That's brilliant. It's also the same arrangement that's used in a car alternator's rotor to commutate the flux for the outside stator coils to generate from.
    What's great about this is you could get a few very consistent measurements with different loads by spinning your flywheel up to a set speed and letting it passively slow the flywheel down to another set speed.

    Interesting! A novel approach, however I am concerned if multiple magnets (in alternating N/S config) are attached to the rotor the issue of accurate alignment comes to mind, such that induced fields do not cancel. The obvious solution is to employ a 50/50 rotor single N/S poles using small neos. Thanks for your amazing videos.

      @@ThinkingandTinkering Precisely, one coil, one magnet and the opposing poles create the AC phasing...simply brilliant! If you were slightly inaccurate in cutting the poles you should notice that the induced short circuit current will exhibit this in the waveform on the oscilloscope. Indeed, that has given me an idea regarding the use of alternate N/S fields and employing sawtooth / sinusoidal poles. This has many possibilities for a novel alternator I feel.

    Could make a wheel motor by inverting the drive, direct drive and high torque. Very few moving parts. Can pulse a very high current synchronized to the magnet position. Akin to stepper motor. Would make a good kit for electric bike (with the right adapted design of course). (I know it's three same as the microwave motor, I just thought of the radial torque and fewer parts). About 40 Nd magnets would make quite a powerful torque?

    I saw a tiny 25kw electric motor that could fit in your hand that very powerful on a electric bike and small form for the power output. I asked myself if a little diesel generator could run one of these as a generator. I looked at it and it was DC so it would be too expensive to run the power inverters and the whole thing was going to cost around 5,000 dollars or so to just make the thing. So I thought that is too expensive to do a little experiment.

      First he cut square holes, evenly space along the face of the rim. Then he separated the leftover square pieces of the face by cutting one side of them - creating a flange. This metal square is then only connected to the rim on one side. The opposing side has been cut. The interdigitation comes in by switching the direction of the cut side from left to right.
      The best analogy i can think of is a ladder where every other rung you cut the left side rom the main vertical support, and the rest you cut the right side. He then filled the gaps with fiber glass.
      As the magnet moves across the face of the flanges it creates an flux path where the magnetic field is forced to cut through the coil perpendicular to the magnets motion in space. Generating a current in the coil.

    how will it perform....
    1) it will generate
    2) given enough turns and poles and rpm, it can generate a significant voltage, but internal resistance can add up quickly with such a large diameter coil × each turn.
    3) internal resistance will limit current inside the coil creating a voltage drop (along the length of the wire in the coil) at higher currents.
    That voltage drop will be internal resistance of coil × current through the coil.
