Will this possibly work?

It seems straight forward enough but I'm not sure if it would work.  The idea

6 blade box fan that takes about 15W to run
Put a strong 1" N48 neo magnet at the end of each blade
Have these magnets slide against a huge amount of coils

If the magnetic strength of the combined Neo magenets are greater than the strength of the ones used to turn the blade would it be possible to get more energy than 15W out?  1" Neo magnets are very strong and don't weigh that much.

Hi Eric,

Yes, it is possible to produce more power than the motor's demand but you would have to take the fan off and replace it by a circular piece of wood, aluminium or plastic. Let say the fan is 12" in diameter, so you could add someting like 15 to 18 magnets an electromagnets and be able to produce over 100 ac volts and more.

If you need more infos...

Hi,
you need to use different material wire than copper for the coils.
Use iron wire for the coils or a combination of series or parallel
circuits of iron- and copper-wire coils.
This will reduce the drag forces onto the rotor that normally occur,
if you draw current from the coils .

I'm trying to start smaller than that just to see A current.  For some reason I'm barely getting any kind of voltage.  I mean like 0.01 volts max.  Yet when I hook my mutlimeter up to a small motor and spin the rotor by hand it quickly goes over 1 volt.  I'm using this configuration that totals about 800 windings.  It worked as an electromagnet when I slid metal through the loop and applied current.

BTW this is what I'm currently trying.  The motor is bare.  The whole in CDs are a bigger than the rotor.  I'm putting one on the bottom with the coil and secure tightly.  Then I adapt another cd to fit to the rotor tightly.  This one will have the magnets on it.  I'd be happy with 2-3 volts at this time
