So what I am picturing is some kind of tubing, say 1" ID, and it is wrapped with 12g magnet wire in a tight coil. If a cylindrical magnet is pushed through the tube I guess a DC current will be produced.
As per my other posts on magnetic linear acceleration, caps and flywheels, (all three CAN make use of the technologies I'm researching) this question is geared on finding a way to generate quick pulses of electricity by various methods of generation. Here I am looking at compressed air or possibly even a powder charge to drive the magnet into an air shock absorber of some type or a magnetic arrester.
Sorry for so many questions here, but this is the culmination of 4 different research topics where I have gotten some mixed info.
-Does it matter the polarity of the magnet (+ or - at the front of the magnet)?
-Will the strength of the magnet effect the voltage or current produced and if so, is there a way to determine by how much?
-Will more layers/wrappings (in parallel stacked vertically) produce more output (I'm guessing current?)
-What would smaller guage wire accomplish if the same length of tubing was wrapped?
-Is there resistance against the magnet while it passes through the tube?
-If multiple tubes were run in parallel (single power source) with identical windings - terminated/connected to a single device, fired from a single source, would the pulse be synchronous? (or a way to sync them w/o caps?)
