The magnetic forces have to be balanced in my design like on Muller dynamo and that give advantages for applying small force only to turn iron blades between magnets and coils. The magnetic interaction between iron bars changing magnetic poles and coils still need experiments to see outcome but that should not cause too much drag. Also as Jimboot just posted the coil position is best between two magnetic poles so the rest should be not too hard for figuring out the final generator design.
Cheers!
Hi T-1000 What I have found is the iron becomes a magnetic capacitor, it charges "becomes magnetic" when passing the magnet and then discharges when passing the coil, the BEMF is basicly hitting when the iron is of equal polarity of the BEMF, so pushing away and not countering the rotation, but aiding. It is quite an interesting phenomenum, and why the generating coils are between the perminent magnets, the generation comes from the stored magnetic energy in the iron, not the magnets. As the iron is leaving a coil it is also picking up charge from the next magnet but in opposite polarity, this is the exact same polarity of the BEMF and so repels, aiding rotation in the direction required and not against. With this it is easy to see why the load reduces on the input, and the possibilities of a self runner regards Mike
