my next question is what coil setup will be best for conecting to a grid tie?
volts?
AMPs?
single phase or 3 phase?
I want as little resistance as poss.

[QUOTE=plasmahunt3r;232898]I think it is important to understand electron direction when a magnet passes over a coil. The attached picture should demonstrate this.

As a result (assuming you want three phase), I think you should wind all your coils in the same direction but the size and spacing of the coils are critical so that the magnetic fields line up.

Then you would need to decide if you want a Star or Delta config.

See this site for an explanation on lining up magnets and coils: 3 Phase Basics[/QUOT

Well i got 10.5V and 5.2A at about 800rpm from one coil with 100 windes of 20G wire, so it works
Thanks peeps

Thanks Gyula, you got me thinking now
I think my idea will work then, i tryed it the normal way by aranging the coils clockwise then anti clockwise and so on last year on the first generator and got less volts and the drum would only spin slow, The joys of inventing!

yes water spins the drum of magnets, i have videos on youtube "inline water generator".
what setup will give less resistance?

this is the best i can do

this is the new drive cylinder.

Some pic's to give you an idea.
