Simple generator

That's what I thought. So, this way it makes sense, thanks.

Lumen, in that design you will have considerable leakage flu when both coils generate current, because their fields will oppose each other and just like in a standard transformer the field will escape the core.. Yes you will get much higher output currents but this is because the inductance gets destroyed just like in a transformer.The point is keeping the interaction of the core with the magnets at a minimum by maintaining a circular magnetic field inside of the core.

I'll be waiting on the capacitors, since I ordered 1000x 10µF multilayer ceramic capacitors from ebay. This might take a month before they arrive, meanwhile I can work on the frame/bearing holder and other projects.
