I've been testing my SG with various magnet combinations to see how spacing effects performance.
12V primary. Same trigger resistance. 26" wheel.
6 magnets, 77hz, 210V peaks, .7A primary per coil.
18 magnets, 222hz, 212V peaks, 2.4A primary per coil.
36 magnets, 299hz, 216V peaks, 3.1A primary per coil.
I thought that the tight magnet spacings would effect the peak V but this hasn't been the case.
It does seem to have an effect to the top speed of the wheel however.
The 36 magnet wheel running 299hz was pushing a 12V x 100ah battery to 13.2 fairly quickly.
