question on north and south poles and rotors

[mcorrade]

Is it necessary to have the magnet poles on a rotor alternate between N and S poles when running this rotor over a coil in order to produce and electrical current or can the poles be all North facing the coil?

thanks,

I think they can all be north (or south).  I believe this is called a monopole motor.   Many of Bedini's systems are like this.  Bedini motors recapture charge via radiant energy, so I'm not sure if I answered your question if a monopole can induce current, that I do not know.

Here is a monopole motor.





Perhaps someone experienced with AC/DC motors can comment on flux, current, and polarity ?

thanks for the reply. I know this but I guess i didn't ask the question correctly. I'm more concerned with secondary coils and rotor system that aren't pulsed. More of a magnet generator type of setup where the rotor is spun other than from a charged coil. In a set up like that should the poles be alternating or could they all be the same and if both are ok which will provide more AC current?

thanks
