I added 4 diode's to the drawing..... would diode 2,3 & 4 be nessisarry or would
Diode 1 be enough?

I was thinking of using two   4" dia x 1" thick Neodymium magnets.
instead of using ceramic magnet  because the pulling force is much much greater!!
my question is would a Neodymium magnet produce more output energy then a ceramic magnet?  .....would it spin faster?     hehe
