We have a new design we will post in a few days. It uses no permanent magnets, no exotic materials, just copper wire and powdered hard magnetic steel or ferrite.

Is it a concept or is there a build too?

Hi Butch,
Looking forward to your new design.
While looking through patents I came across a miniature generator that you might find interesting.
Patent #4777394

Will there be sub-components like resistors, diodes and capacitors?

My guess is; No...it will be more like a conventional generator, with
an electrically excitable field to let the user control the generator's
net power output. Sans the electrical load back torque...hopefully. An
active regulator used to set the generators field strength might contain
those components.

Sounds okay so far. Might it rotate similarly to an alternator? There are many variations for alternators available at the U.S. Patent Office, but those designs often use attached hardware as coils, etc., to condition the output or make other adjustments, right?
If this is simpler, it might be very useful. I'm waiting to see the diagram.
