magnet motor

I am curious as to if a magnet is placed under a spinning coil of copper, will it generate electricity?

Yes, it will.  Flux is still "cut through" the windings of the coil and that is what matters.

In extrem cases like using a rotary flat coil (like pancake shape) the induction would definitely be of a low effect though.

What are you thinking of?

intresting

how were you thinking of turning the copper windings? i can come up with many ideas for a setup like this

I was thinking that the wheel could catch wind to spin, along with a 'perpetual unbalancer'. I know the unbalancer will eventually find a balace but the coil will be easier to spin with just wind and that. So there would be a bunch of flaps around this coil and a big sheet metal shape used to funnel any wind from any direction into a tube that should give the coil a little push.
