My understanding is the # of windings are 1:1
But the second coil is wired between the center tap
and one of the ends of the other coil (1/2 parallel?)


And when I say cycle, I meant rotation, not the electrical freq.

OK thanks


But in this case half rotation in, is equal to the induced wave form, is it not?


Just trying to get my ducks in a row here, thanks for the prompt replies

The 4-magnet variation is the easiest to understand
The first and second coil kick on 2 magnets at once.
the other pair of magnets pass during a time when
the coils are "off".


This is why timing is important
The current induced in the second coil adds to the current
in the first, but at half the voltage.
and because the 2nd is delayed by the switch
It kicks it through the first coil (allegedly) generating more
than it used during the first half rotation.

It's basically Bendini


Square-wave makes the most sense for his set-up
But there is limited information that has survived.
So we don't really know the freq, waveform, and whatnot.
